BRS-FRA Summer Timetable
Some good signs in the BRS-FRA route in the summer timetable. A total of 19 rotations across the week, and a welcome return to flights at the weekend.
In particular, getting a couple of Saturday morning flights out will really help with those Monday morning appointments in Asia. Sunday is also looking much better for people coming inbound.
The only slight bumps are that the morning flights seem to be drifting later and later (Weds and Thurs it's out at 07:40) which might hit some connections, and the mid-morning rotations are simply all over the place - departures from FRA vary between 09:05 and 10:40, and departures from BRS between 11:15 and 12:05. I can see a very looong wait at FRA on inbounds from Asia if you land on Tuesdays (typical arrival time about 05:30, and then 5 hours wait until the 10:40).
Now, if LH can tame their fuel surcharges it will be really set to weather the storm. Having just compared some BRS-NRT flights in Y, the only difference between KL and LH is £100 difference in YQ. Similar story on European short-haul.
