Good question!

Normally BHX/NBE/BHX operated on TCX flight numbers would either be out and back - so DEP BHX 2015, turnaround and directly back, arriving around 0330; or possibly out in the morning on a "W" pattern (routing back to another UK airport, eg. Norwich) then arriving back into BHX late evening.

The timings and flight numbers offered up by Thos. Cook (the holiday company) seam very odd when put against such a scenario. It is possible that the return NBE/BHX arriving 14:05 may have originated in another UK airport, but then there is a slot available between say 1505 and 1915 for it to do something else, time possible for a REU, or possibly one of the Balearics, but the turn around there looks a wee bit short.

Thanks bazzab68 for your answer, I thought that at least the return might be on Nouvelair. I suppose it could be an extra for the kids half terms which must start around about then.

An extra at BHX?? What is the world coming to???
