BHX-Lyon

Another route with reduced frequencies in November.

It seems the evening flight is going to operate on a Monday & Friday only.

Chipping away slowly!

This winter thus far now has the following changes: -

No BHD (although this was not operating in winter 2005/6)

Edinburgh still six a day but 2 x RJ100 & 4 x 145 compared to 4 & 2 now
(5 & 1 last winter)
Paris CDG still 5 a day but 4 x 145 & 1 RJ100 compared to 2 RJ's & 3 145's
(3 RJ's last winter)
Berlin & Geneva will be extra to last winter but with the reduction to
3 RJ100's it seems things are happening at a reasonable pace.

Used Connect this week to BCN, on time, great crew, 70% full
out and 99% on the way back. Online check-in worked, aircraft okay
and the only downside was the food ran out on both sectors.
There was definitely a feeding frenzy on yesterdays flight but the other half had a strop as they ran out of cream teas. That was £4 less
to the Connect coffers but it all worked well other than that.

Get the right aircraft, right routes and the front-line staff will pull it off.
These 145's must be a real millstone around the neck, what a waste.
