Hi,

Service will be to Hainan via Bahrain from May 2007. Does anybody have any information on aircraft type? I read in one article - "Passengers will be offered extra legroom" which I presume ties in with the Cabin Upgrades on the A330s for Summer 2007?

Thanks

Blimey, that's a long way. Only another 45 minutes and you're in Hong Kong.

I sure hope they pull this one off. I think it may even be a first for a UK based charter airline. It's quite exciting really and MyTravel are now beginning to show that after all the upheaval we have been through, things are finally starting to come together.

It also appears that whilst they will maintain a prescence throughout the usual bucket and spade routes withing spain etc, MyTravel are looking forward to some new and exciting destinations and i'm sure with many more new ones to come.

Keep it up MyTravel, my concessions are beginning to mount up now so places like these will be quite affordable.

Cheers

does anyone know if this is going to be weekly or fortnightly, and is it just going to be Mytravel tour ops on board or are they going to share it like the brazil flight with Thomas Cook tour ops.

I'd imagine it'll be the A330-200.
