Tickets for new Clickair route Valencia-London (LHR) are no more on sale. Why? Maybe problem to obtain slot at Heathrow?

Vueling respond to competiton

I see Vueling are introducing a "Points" (Punto) system for frequent flyers. This is possibly a clever idea from Vueling to distinguish themselves from Clickair and to encourage their customers to remain loyal to them.

Well done Vueling!

PS - I notice that Alicante has disappeared from their routemap

Cesare, no problems with slots anywhere. They are using a lot of IB slots.

About the tickets VLC-LHR, they don't start the operation until Feb'07. I hope they will be for sale very soon

according to ppjn, the salary is as bad as vueling, probably even worse.
the airbus 320s are very old and consequently there has been already many delays at clickair. is that the reason why clickair could sell low cost tickets ?

You may be right saying that the salary is as low as vueling, thats probably the reason why about 18 vlg pilots left vueling and went to Clickair .

And about delays... before saying things like "many delays" you should check what is the puntuality record. Except the days they had some technical problems, the rest was pretty good. Better than vlg, fr,ezy, etc...

dear friend,

I won't dissapoint you and as soon as i can put my paws on some info i will try to show it here for you, but... there is something i don't really understand.

I have to prove with facts what i said (and i will do) to have "some credibility" but... in the other hand, you can say whatever you want to, not proving anything, and you have full credibility? I don't get it.

Is because is easier to criticise someone than helping them to grow?

Seriously, i don't get it. My poor intelect is not able to understand why anybody can say whatever to critizise someone and doesn't have to prove anything but if your opinion is diferent... then you have to bring some facts... don't get it, don't get it.

But again, don't worry, as soon as i have facts i will bring them here for you to see.

Cheers mate.

but what are you saying, Dude ?!!
I only said that I previously read on ppjn that the salary at clickair is very low and as everybody knows, clickair has a fleet of very old aircraft, and I was just wondering if this is WHY this new company can afford to sell some cheap flights ?! nothing else .... The thing is you started to reply at once, being agresive and morever with a lack of acurrate information



But again, don't worry, as soon as i have facts i will bring them here for you to see.
here we are ! That's it amigo !
I am sure many of us are in a hurry to see you shortly with your answers !
bye for now !

Icing, it was not my intention to give agresive answers. If thats the perception you got from my answers i will have to apologise. sorry.

Anyway, there is no need to use any . I think that even if we have different opinions about one subject we can argue without using that language.

About the low prices, I thought that you were a pilot and i still think you are, and i suposed that you knew how marketing in an airline works. Is nothing to do on how old or new the aircrafts are. FR just got lots of brand new B737-800 and they still sell tickets for 0,1 cents.

Clickair is a new airline, they have tough competition, Vueling is based in BCN, EZY flyes there too and FR flys into GRO and REU, not far away from BCN.

So basically the low prices is a way of opening yourself a gap into the market. And not all the seats on board are sell very cheap. As you probably know the price scale in all the low cost airlines, not only CLI, is variable. The first 10 tickets in a flight are extreamly cheap, and the busier the plane gets and the closer to the day of flying you get, the most expensive the tickets get.

Nothing to do with how old the a/c are or how good the mx guys are.

The other discussion was about punctuality. I am trying to get info from somebody inside the company. But as far as I remember last time he showed to me they were about 97% in a 15 minutes range delay. Obviously thats not including the couple of days they had technical problems. I think that thats not a bad record for a new company.

Anyway i will try to get some accurate info, hopefully i can get something during the week, and post it here.

Again, my apologies if you felt insulted by my previous answers, it was not my intention at all.

dont worry at all, I am very cool and I was just using this smile as a jocke !

The first day when clickair started its operations, the flights had a huge delay due to a technical problems on its aircraft.
Some days ago, we heard about clickair ! not about its good punctality,but about an inflight engine flame out ! and very recently, once again, many other flights were delayed due to some problems with the engines..
It is bad luck, and I really wish all the best to clickair anyway. But I am just wondering if there is a market to take nowdays, in front of ryanair, easyjet and maybe Vueling
With clickair, iberia is not going to recruit some new pilots, and the salaries and working conditions are not going to remain as good as it used to be till now..

Clickair booking

Does anyone know why Clickair are only booking up to end of March 07? I guess they are trying to get a summer schedule together but it seems strange for a new airline to miss out on early cash flow...

Any insights as to when summer schedules are to be released appreciated

clickair destinations after March ...

In link removed we have been following clickair even before it was called clickair but I am afraid this has not helped much for me answering.
Even having our headquarters in Barcelona has not helped us much in
been better informed ...
But I read that in January or February clickair will know which slots are given to them so that maybe that's the reason why you only can book until March. They are starting to fly so I imagine is logical they go step by step.
What causes me a bit of surprise is that clickair now flies some of the flights that Iberia used to fly so this problem with reservations should matter a lot.

I often find latest news at www.hosteltur.com (they seem to be in very
good terms or at least I always find fresh news there ...in Spanish)

Still not selling tickets beyond 24 marzo 07

Clickair are still not selling tickets for SVQ - LHR for dates after March. If they are using IB slots what's the problem? It's very annoying! I've booked with another company cos I don't want to wait any longer.

Anyone know why they're doing this? It seems like commercial sucide - advertise flights, get customers to website and then have no flights for sale!!!
