I’ll admit that while expansion is great, the route choices have been a little lacklustr given the competition.
Lisbon sees TAP and Ryanair
innsbruck sees Jet2, Austrian, TUI, Flybe and Thomas Cook
Budapest sees Ryanair and Jet2
Lanzarote and Faro sees TUI, Thomas Cook, Ryanair and Jet2
Barcelona sees Vueling, Jet2 and Ryanair.
only Bordeaux saw no competition.
meanwhile, Warsaw Chopin is now served by easyJet’s but no route from Manchester (there is Ryanair to Modlin but Chopin is better), Bucharest remains stubbornly unserved, Zurich is crying out for lower fares and TLV/GIB bumping along at a stupidly low frequency,
cant win them all I suppose.
