First flight to New York today with Jet2.
Snippet from the LBIA website.
"The Boeing 757 aircraft was sold out, full of local passengers bound for the first of four, three-night shopping trips to the Big Apple courtesy of Jet2holidays and its sister airline Jet2."
If the rest of the flights are as successful, then the doom and gloom merchants who predicted the prices were to high and this would put people off booking were wrong.
There is a demand for flights to the States from the LBA and this might encourage other airlines to have to have a go.
So congratulations to Jet2.
