Looks like the WHSmith in the terminal is now open. Nosh in there seems expensive but all in all looks pretty good for the amount of space made available to them, ie. not much. Heard on the grapevine Monarch are positioning an A320 from Manch tonight. Not sure what for, but there's probably gonna be standing room only on the apron!

Ryanair are very interested in connecting Blackpool to Poland.
I would imagine that when Ryanair do finally open a Polish base they will connect with Blackpool then.
(Unfortunately I doubt they'll base an aircraft in Blackpool in the near future.)

price of flights to tenerife.....
has anybody checked out how much its costin to get to tenerife from blk?
am looking for a week in nov06 so far jet2 want nearly 300quid, can do it for under 200 with BA of all airlines from the dreaded man, im big fan of blk and tell lots of locals its great airport to use , i have nothing to do with the airport or any airline, but with these prices as a starter...its pricing it self out the market, found same looking for malaga next march jet2 is far more expensive than monarch , certainly not knocking the airport, just trying to point out that people are more price orientated these days, certainly not knocking the airport as will use as first choice when poss but price/cost has to come in to things as well, just wondered what anyone elses thoughts are.

re tenerife flights
appologies guuys meant to add the price was for 2 pax so maybe 300 quid aint so bad but just trying to point out that even with the cost of getting to man/lpl it still cheaper to fly from those airports than the one on your doorstep

Prague

I would be very much surprised if Ryanair's wish to connect Blackpool with an eastern European city resulted in a Prague service...
Ryanair have no plans to base an aircraft at Blackpool. They are however very close to launching their first Polish base.
Any new Ryanair eastern European route to Blackpool will more than likely be operated using an aircraft based in their new (as of yet unknown) eastern European base.
This other article also about the (eastern European) expansion of Ryanair at Blackpool mentions Poland around 10 times. Not a word about Prague.
http://www.blackpooltoday.co.uk/View...icleID=1629759
"Ryanair ... is in negotiations to expand its franchise to Poland within the next year."
Ryanair do not currently even fly to Prague, so it's very unlikely we'll see a Ryanair base there in the next few years...
However, stranger things have happened, Ryanair fell in love with Marseille overnight it would seem, and rumors are flying that Ryanair will launch a base in Madrid, an airport with which they have had no previous relationship at all.
Anyway, Jet2 already do Blackpool to Prague so it would be quite a pity if a new Ryanair route from Blackpool was just going to compete with an existing route.

If this is the case, why don't Monarch make an announcement about the cessation of services instead of potentially giving its customers the hump by allowing them to book flights they know aren't going to exist. Forigive me for any ignorance if this is common practice. Just seems a little daft that's all.

blackpool 2 malaga
anyone got any ideas who will want to step in and take the blk to agp flights now monarch are pulling out? jet2 arent starting till end of march, surely with good flights times somebody could make a go of it as monarch did when they first started flight out at 7am, its no wonder nobodys booking the flights now seeing as they changed it to 9.20pm .

Air Europa wont be operating the normal Tenerife charter following the announcement that Jet 2 are starting that route , thats what the locals say
anyway.
Air Europa might be interested but dont they normally operate IT services and not low cost type ops ??
Are Thomson back this winter with their IT stuff to Spain or have they also
pulled out ??? anybody know........
Or is it just going to be a lo co operation at Blackpool from now on ??
