any clue

come on someone out there must have some
news re stansted go on just a clue

[Eff Oh]

May be a B757.

[webby1919]

Looks like the 2 B757s are now full-capacity:

1 B757 to LPL doing daily EWR
1 B757 to GLA doing daily BOS

[webby1919]

Also looks like Las Vegas will be released next. Not available to book on website, but it is in timetables section.

Is there a possibility that the Glasgow - Boston will be on the 737-800?.
Just made me thinks as the 767 is 3 class cabin, 757 will be 2 class cabin, but Boston is not being sold as "business" class but just either economy - no frills or economy - Premiuim service which is different to LPL - EWR?

[webby1919]

The premium economy flights only have a capacity of 8 at the most, so it is likely that the B737-800 will be operating this flight, reconfigured. That means that there is still 1 more B757 to account for S07.

For reference:

757 proposed route: Liverpool - New York Newark
757 delivery: summer07
767 current route: Glasgow - Orlando Sanford
767 proposed route: Manchester - Toronto/Cape Town
767 delivery: summer07

Have heard that management have had a visit to NCL last month looking around. Maybe some news soon?

[smith]

If you try to book GLA-SANFORD the taxes and fees for economy are £40 one way but for Premium Economy they are £60. Any idea why? Probably just a bit of stealth profit as the listed prices are £72 and £92 respectively.

Airport taxes are explained here:

http://www.visitbritain.com/VB3-en/t...ort_taxes.aspx

The relevant quote being:

# the rate for economy flights to all other destinations is £20
# the rate for club and first class fares for all other destinations is £40

[ladies and gentlemen]

LPL - EWR now available to book as 3 class service rather than the previous 2 class service. No mention of any seat pitches though!

[despegue]

Expect the Boston flights to be operated by B737NG equipment.

[sparkymarky]

despegue

Hi despegue, does that mean it will be 737-800 every day, or will busier days get 757 or 767?

That seems to leave quite a bit of spare capacity for the new 767 and 757 to go to other further destinations?

They do say it in there.

Economy No Frills - 30" pitch
Economy Premium Service Upgrade - 34" pitch
Business - 50" pitch

[ladies and gentlemen]

Hi dwlpl, I think you are reffering to the 767-300 aircraft operating from GLA and MAN, if you try and book LPL-EWR the same options for class and seat pitch are not given.

I got the info off the LPL/EWR route.

Go into the booking system on their website and select the three classes in turn and wait until it lists what you get for each fare.

Economy - No Frills
30" seat pitch

Economy - premium service upgrade
Priority check-in
Priority boarding
30kg luggage allowance
34" seat pitch

Business Class Service
Use of airport executive lounge prior to departure
Priority check-in
Priority boarding
40kg luggage allowance
Champagne prior to departure
Seats with 50" seat pitch

[av8767]

Does this mean that all their aircraft will be in different configs?
eg - 767 - 3 class (Sanford, Toronto, Capetown)
737-800/757? 3 class (Newark)
737-800/757? 2 class (Boston)
Rest of 737 fleet all Y class
Seems a bit odd for fleet utilisation/Maintenance checks etc?
Any ideas

Artical from the Scotsman Re: GLA - BOS route.

http://business.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1186982006

mentions that the route will be operated by a mix of a/c 767/757/737.

[dwlpl]

The vacancies for Liverpool base lists the base as a dual base together with MAN.

The aircraft to be flown from the dual base is listed as 767/737.

[point5]

If you can fly the 767, then you can fly the 757, right?
Thats how it works at BA.
