noax2grind.
and how many pax to they have on board ??
whats the range of a 737-800 with say 150 pax onboard + 20kgs baggage per person, and carrying the fuel required for north atlantic flying. plus, if additional fuel tanks are to be fitted, baggage space will be reduced, and 737's have a habit of bulking out with those sort of loads expected. even on a direct route i forcast many a tech stop !! plus the fact that if they have to fly the blue spruce route for a while, whilst awaiting approval they are deffinately going to have to tech stop.
plus if the lead in price is going to be £130 from dub, add on an extra £50 for uk-dub and presuming this includes tax, doesn't seem any cheaper than that offered by ba,vs,ua,aa,co etc !!
personally still think this is a wind up. or at least i hope it is !!!
