Quite a few upgrades over August Bank Holiday, with A321s showing on many flights

An A330-200 is scheduled for Monday 3rd September at 16:05
Summer 2016 it was double daily.

October Half-term & winter shaping up nicel showing some minor increases from the regular airlines albeit still early days although most I have previously reported: -

Ryanair - extra Monday Malaga (making 2) in October and a second Wednesday in half-term (new), Alicante now daily in winter and then the previously reported 4th based for Christmas & New Year, Dublin 6 a day on 6 days, extra Faro on a Sunday
Jet2 - Extra October half-term as mentioned above and Christmas/New Year flights including for the first time two Arrecife's on Monday Half-term, also new 2 flights a week in December Santa charters* plus Iceland and Vienna short season
Thomas Cook - Extra Canaries flights October half-term on top of the previously reported third based aircraft in winter although it has been pointed out than in December and January it doesn't fly much
TUI - Hurghada and Boa Vista double, Goa weekly but Phuket dropped (appalling loads) plus for ski season weekly Kuusamo
Flybe - Managed to get the weekly Ski Lleida back and it appears they have the Sunday Titan Chambery (out to SOU in between?)
Swiss - Evening still showing as the BCS3 (A220-300)
Lufthansa - LH952/3 defaulted at times to the A320 from the A319 although still lays off for 5 weeks in the new year
Eurowings - as reported extra DUS DH8D
Vueling - Barcelona doubled from 2 to 4 a week and curiously in January as well - didn't even operate last year in January
Air Arabia Maroc - Agadir as reported previously twice a week
Wizz - Cluj as reported previously twice a week
KLM - 739 night-stop

easyjet 3 daily Belfast Sunday - Friday from February although GVA is down two rotations a week and Grenoble gone

If Primera had stayed it would have really been a bumper winter
