TOM264 - BHX-CUN (via Manchester)
A quick question....
Thomson currently flies to both SFB and CUN weekly from BHX.
The SFB is scheduled direct but TOM264, BHX- CUN is scheduled via MAN - (every Thurs during Winter).
The via MAN bit, is that because of performance reasons (as BHX-CUN is 550nm further Great Circle than BHX-SFB), or does it pick up pax/cargo in MAN?- or both??!!
It appears on both the BHX and MAN departure boards which is why I thought it a little strange.
The same question also applies to the NCL-CUN (via MAN) - (every Sat currently). NCL also sees a direct SFB flight but the CUN goes via MAN.
Hoping someone might know?
Thanks.
