Thomson Summer 2006

Well Thomson have put 2006 on sale.
There is good news and also bad news

Bad news is that there is no new routes for the airport.

Good news is that both aircraft will stay all week and they have added MIR and Antalya to there route network.

Does'nt look like bourgas or varna is being done by Thomson as not on website but may get added later?

Will try to put timetable on here later.

[Travel Agent]

I saw the summer brochure yesterday and I'm sure they are doing flights to Varna, but not Bourgas

[johnwalton]

They are definitely doing Varna, its a Wednesday night flight

2000 NCL - VAR 0135
0235 VAR - NCL 0415

Summer arrivals

Does anybody know when the extra based aircraft will be arrving.

an extra BY and TCX and 2 XLA plus SCY

[Jamesair]

The MAY issue of the scheduled timetable is now on the airport website.

The main changes are that the Manston flights are now showing at the correct late night timings and Stavanger changes its timings to NCL arr 1155 dep 1225 Mon thru Fri from 4th July till 12 Aug then it reverts back to the evening times again.

[GrahamK]

If you go to the Thomson Flights website, it shows Cancun as a destination from Newcastle for 06, but it appears you cannot book it yet

Thanks for the info

[HH6702]

I see that XLA3136/7 is operating.
Lets hope that BD and this XLA flight goes ahead throughout the summer months!!!

Anybody know when the airport will be updating there summer guide?

[Jamesair]

Cancun would make a great new destination for NCL. I would like to see somewhere in Cuba offered as well. Hope someone from XL or FCA etc read this.

[CentreFix25]

Cancun was mentioned in the Chronicle a couple of nights ago, there probably just sorting out when and by who it will operate.

[GrahamK]

Excel seem to be the likely one's operating long haul from NCL.

[CentreFix25]

Any pattern emerging to the based XLA program, I saw a 767-200 on finals this afternoon?

[unclebaldy]

xl 767

I saw it twice this afternoon, dunno if just 'crew' training

[Maude Charlee]

Yep, crew training.

[JKP505]

Does anybody by any chance have a full timetable (flight nos. as well if possible) of Air 2000/First choice Airways' last full Summer season at Newcastle airport, all I have is a list of their scheduled flights? I think it was the 2000-2001 season?

I urgently need this, and would greatly appreciate it. Apologies for being a bit off topic, but I thought I'd try this thread given the interest in it.

[GrahamK]

Only thing that is definite is that it will be a 757-200.

[tcx00]

thanks grahamk!

does anyone know the regs?

[GrahamK]

The a/c get swapped about the bases very often so there is no way of knowing the a/c reg for definite until you actually board the a/c and take off
