Could you confirm if this is with the 145?
It is good to see that bookings are up 10-15% but it just seems so
unusual for a low fares airline (yes I understand it is not a LCC) to use a
49 seater as the basis for such plan.
The only other ones I really know are (or should it be were) DUO &
Independence Air
I fully understand that new aircraft is not an option if BACX was such a loss making airline but 49 seats?
If it is a matter of offering the first 4 or so fares at low prices then
surely this is no different to what was on offer before and all they
have done is make you pay for your food.
I have done my little bit and booked Barca via Airmiles at a reasonable
price. I could have got it cheaper from EMA (to GRO) or Luton or
Bristol but I am prepared to pay a bit more for convenience but I know many have looked at Connect and chosen the trip down the motorway to save £££.
