Transfer Pax
Good news and very encouraging about the number of transfer pax for US flights.I wonder what the main method of booking is for those transfers - traditional travel agents, specialist flight shops, on-line booking engines such as Expedia, or direct bookings with airlines.Slightly surprised at the high number from Ireland transferring at MAN rather than flying from DUB to a US hub when they could have USPC. Are fares through MAN that much more attractive?
MCO and LAS have always been massive transit points at LGW/MAN for years.
Very few are direct airline booking, the vast majority are major tour operators/travel agents who have agreements in place with VS and most would be all in packages.
You shouldn't overplay USPC, price is number one for 75-80% from feedback given by transit pax in DUB.
