I heard that Gozo in Malta and LA Gomera in the canaries as well but I wasnt sure if these were available as flights or just destinations ie; transfers by coach or boat!?

Well to Gozo, I understand you have to get a Mil-8 Helicopter from Luqa Airport to the Island, La Gomera I think you need to get a ferry from Los Cristianos on Tenerife, as the runway there is too short for large a.c

It was announced in the local press recently that the work for the fifth BACx ERJ145 to be based from next March will be revealed by the end of the year.
The airport MD has been giving some obvious 'clues' in recent public statements that new routes are on the cards, without saying or even hinting what they may be.
Domestically, Norwich and Liverpool must be strong possibilities and in another thread (and indeed earlier in this one) it is being suggested that Flybe might be the carrier, at least for Liverpool. Who knows, they might do EXT-BRS-LPL in the same way that Southwest does PLH-BRS-MAN.
Internationally, from a personal point of view I would like to think that someone would take on the CPH route, soon to be dropped by easyJet. Milan has long been talked of as a possible BACx route and perhaps this is something the new based aircraft might take on.
There have also been rumours about increased frequencies on one or two of the existing routes out of BRS.

Suggest you look at the Freedomflights website. You will be able to see all the new flights for BRS next summer.
The fllight numbers will show 2 based units , you will quickly be able to see 2 units - 1 from Excel and one other - so in fact lots of new movements
All the best from booming Bristol.!!

The Freedom web timetable shows the flights being operated by Excel and Air Malta and, as a bristolian says, there appears to be enough of them to provide work for two aircraft for most, if not all, of each week next summer.
They all commence from BRS, albeit two or three do a 'W' rotation to EXT in between BRS outbound and inbound, a further clue that the a/c will be based at Lulsgate.
My only doubt about all this is the prices being charged for seats. On the routes that easyJet also fly, such as PMI, ALC and AGP, my test bookings for identical dates next summer showed easyJet to be much cheaper for the dates I tried.
The full list of routes is: ALC, ACE, CFU. DLM, HER, KGS, LCA, MAH, AGP, MLA, PMI, PFO, RHO, SKG, JSI, TFS and ZTH.
None of the destinations to be served are new to BRS and I am not sure whether tour operators will also purchase blocks of seats as well as individuals booking seat-only.
