Flew back from Murcia to Newcastle today on a JET2 733, I have one of those new passive scanners and listened to ATC during the flight. On approaching the London TMA the controller asked the mach number we were doing and the pilot said .735.
Is a 733 usually that slow? I thought they cruised at .75-6?
The controller asked us to speed up to .74 or more as we must have had someone behind at FL340
Are JET2 saving fuel?
