Believe it may be due to a Hurricane in the Florida/Carribean area?

Long-haul S06

Maybe.

What airlines will be operating the Orlando flights next year? I've heard First Choice are stopping their flight.

Are excel still operating Puerto Plata?

EXCEL AIRWAYS

Todays Excel Orlando flight not left NCL yet! . The Fri Excel long haul to Dominican Republic delayed at the moment by about 24 hrs.
There "is" a hurricane in the Florida area but the only flight that seems to be affected is the Excel to/ from NCL.( see Sandford website)
Have these flights ever been on time this year ? Surely the tour operators must have numerous complaints about Excel, and it cant be doing Newcastle airports reputation for long haul flights much good. We are going to Orlando soon with FCA , thank goodness we did not book with Thomson or Thos Cook or whoever else is using Excel. Surely in the interest of customer satisfaction these operators will use another airline next year ie Thomas cook as it has been for a few years now.

Hi,

I am not sure if anyone has mentioned this but for Summer 2006;

Kathargo will be operating NCL-DJE on behalf of Panorama and Airtours Holidays with there Boeing 737-300s

Djerba is a small Island of Tunisia home to '100,000' palm trees and is exclusive to Panorama and Airtours Holidays launching from Manchester, Gatwick and Newcastle from May 2006. An extremely beautiful place steeped in history.

Regards

Flights to Croatia

Does anyone know if there are any flights to Croatia from NCL next year (2006). We used to have quite a few in the days of Yugotours and Airways to Pula, Split and Dubrovnik with JAT, (727 and 707) Inex Adria,(DC9) and Aviogenex.(TU134) Not sure if any of these airlines still operate today?? I think JAT is now known as Croatia Airlines?

Another Air Atlanta 747 operating the Excel Orlando flight according to the BBC.
Any idea if it's a -200 or -300?

JET 2.Com

Looks like flights NCL to Murcia only op on SAT and SUN from Nov to March except over Christmas/new year when frequency increases for a couple of weeks. I thought it was to op 3 or 4 times a week all winter then increase in the summer! Or am i wrong?

Yes that is correct dec/feb on two days but 4 days on the other months until july/aug when daily.

cork is operating on different days.

I say we could see upto 5 routes being added to start over the winter. 2/3 days for each route.

Lets start a new wish list?

Pisa
Madrid
Faro
Chambury

anything else
