Holidays
It seems now Thomas Cook are also selling holidays to Faro and Verona alongside the already mentioned Palma as per last year, using the scheduled Flybe flights.
Thomson are doing the same for Alicante and Malaga and their lakes & mountains division are selling holidays using the Milan and Verona flights. This is in addition to the weekly Volotea flight to PMI. So although there is nothing new flight wise Thomson now serve a far wider range of destinations from SOU than they have in quite a few years.
Flybe are also chopping the ABZ end of their flyshuttle route at the end of this month but the LBA-SOU-JER section shall remain. I suspect the slow start was further hampered but lower oil prices. On the plus side the reduces the chance of Eastern dropping the as a result of Flybe dumping it with cheap seats.
