Presumably this confirms at least one B738 from summer 2018 for Phapos, Rhodes, Heraklion and Antalya.
It will be rather disappointing overall if the Routes event only generates this and a couple more bucket and spade holiday destinations.
All the talk of BA moving up the road makes no sense IMO. As mentioned above, BA can already operate their largest short haul Airbus into BHD and, frankly they are operating out of a much nicer environment. Smaller airfield, less busy terminal, dedicated lounge, dedicated air bridge etc
I've become a regular user of BFS in the last few months and it has re-enforced my opinion that BHD is a much more pleasent travel experience for me.
On a totally unrelated subject, does anyone know what is going on with the drop off zone? To put it mildly it is chaotic at peak times. Seems totally unfit for purpose.
