Took the JP flight to LJU last saturday. It is a seasonal route with two weekly flights. I was wondering what the concept behind this route is? Is Slovenia heavily marketed as a holiday destination in England? With just two weekly flights operating in the summer period, there will hardly be any business pax (in fact there were not C class passengers on board on my flight) and Manchester is probably not a top tourist destination for Slovenians.

The CR9 was about half full and most passengers seemed to be older folks from England. Indeed deplaning the incoming flight took a little bit longer than expected as a handful of few passengers could hardly walk and had to be lifted off the aircraft.

All in all, it seemed to be a rather odd route to me.
While it may be and "odd" route, why were you on the flights, do you include yourself as "older folks" from England, if not then other people could be using the route for the same reason as you do.
