MAN-MAD
It looks like from 1st Nov we will go from no Madrid flights to:
EZY 5 x week afternoon flights
RYR 4 x week evening flights
IBE 7 x week afternoon flights
and there is also the rumour of Monarch / Air Europa interest, although this may have now fallen through.
Is there demand for 16 flights a week? a great shame there is not an early morning departure on any of the flights. It would be great if there were 7 early morning flights & 7 evening flights, but a day return is impossible on the schedules.
Although the Iberia / Air Nostrum flight is bookable-it does not appear on their route map, even though the newly announced twice weeekly Madrid -Glasgow (from 1.11.11) does appear. Nor does it appear on the Manchester Airport web-site. Does the timings with Air Nostrum, which is failrly late, connect with any significant south American Madrid departures?
