fl dutchman – How many US or Caribbean cities are available direct from AMS/LHR versus direct from EWR or JFK!! It would make smaller destination a one stop from NCL!!
I am very surprised at the negativity on NYC! Why should the people of the North East not have a direct link to the US! Just think of the prestige a link to the US would bring to the North East region and to businesses! Emirates direct link to DXB did just that! I am amazed also the number of people who are happy to put down this route after a slight drop in pax's on one month!! They are quick to forget the record month the route had in the previous month.
Why should we have to travel down to Manchester or via a hub city to get to the US! Lets face it NYC is only a third more the distance of Sharm el Sheikh!!
We should totally behind the regions push for a NYC link, you will notice I did not say airport but region, its that big a deal!
