TXL

It remains daily but back to the A319 in the week and the weekend is on the CRJ9
Quite frankly I am amazed. I have travelled on this route on a number of weekends and it is always rammed on a 319. OK so a lot of the traffic is probably price sensitive so the yield may not be great but I simply cannot see how a CR9 will be anywhere near big enough to cope with demand I have seen. I could understand it if there is a price hike to increase yield from the now lower pax capacity offered by the CR9 but I have dummy booked through weekends in May, June and July and the lowest £39 Economy Saver fares are readily available.

On the plus side weekend flight times are better with a 1450 Sun dep from TXL, much better than the 0700 ish it had been changed to. I really do hope this change is a work in progress......
