Thomson/First Choice
I don't think there is anything wrong with a bit of competition - and to be honest what doesn't work for Blackpool may work well for Southend. Ideally a different destination would have been nice but only time will tell. Clearly TUI believe there is surplus demand on that route during the summer period. Also there is now the potential for Thomson/First Choice to add further routes over the coming years if this proves successful.
