Given its also a transfer point, Rome strikes me as a route that could do with more flights, especially with AMS and ALC having higher frequencies.
So interesting, I didn't realise this was the schedule for vueling at MAN.

This is out of pure curiosity (and this isn't meant to be a MAN vs BHX) but as vuelling launched MAN before BHX, it's interested that BHX has grown to offer more flights/seats a week in summer 2017 than MAN.

Based on the above, and assuming 320 = 180 seats / 321 = 230 seats, I see the MAN schedule has 20 flights a week to 5 destinations offering circa 7,900 seats a week. BHX will be offering 21 flights a week to 5 destinations offering circa 8,160 seats a week.

Taking this into account and knowing Vueling had been interested in a base at MAN for a while, surely BHX is also in for a good shot of a base?!?
