Can't see TCX doing long haul from Newcastle, they have already stated that Manchester is their hub and then a few flights ex LGW and a handful from GLA, BFS & STN in peak summer.
I don't think we will be high up Thomson's list for increase either, if anywhere will get more L/H from them it is likely to be BHX & GLA before NCL. For a small catchment area we do really well to have the Dubai and next year's EWR service so I think we should be really pleased with what we have.
I have loads of destinations I would love to see from here but they ain't going to happen when airlines know they can make fortunes from flights to the Costa's and Canaries where many people from up here love!
