Malaga was definately daily when the flights were announced, which I guess Ryanair have seen was a bit ambitious with Jet2 sending a 757 and a 737 to Malaga most days already.
Moving Faro from a 07.55 departure to 19.50 is not a good move! Anyone who is already booked on the flights will be in for a bit of a shock, especially when you compare the flight times with Jet2's Faro flights. Saying that a lot of Yorkshire folk will fly anytime for a tenner, Ryanair's Alicante flight from Leeds has proved that! Having a deaprture at 07.55 did seem a bit strange for Ryanair, it's a bit of an odd ball as virtually all the other Ryanair deaprtures are around 06.15 ex Leeds. Morning departure still showing on the website.
With these changes to the Ryanair schedule are we seeing more routes? Or maybe just a bit of slack in the schedule as it was quite ambitious having 8 sectors most days in the height of summer to places like ALC, PMI and AGP!
With regard to the additional Thomas Cook Antalya, it's in place of the Arrecife flight, with Thomas Cook taking an allocation on the Jet2 scheduled service. No real gain, but still Thomas Cook will be taking a larger volume of passengers through Leeds Bradford. Time for a second A320 next year!!
