tophat - seems unlikely that media publicity will generate much additional traffic between now and 3rd November.
Dresden route around Xmas operates from 20 Dec to 6 Jan, so very leisure centric. Dresden in January is cold - unlikely to see many Brits wanting to go there unless VFR in which case, family and relatives in Dresden are probably aware of the route.
Media will give Southend only one chance to publicise these 2 new routes. Perhaps best to save this until early January, so that
- the launch looks credible
- OLT have had a chance based on experience with very short operating periods in late October + Xmas to decide whether they really do want to operate out of Southend from March 2013 onwards.
