Summer 2009 Schedule - LGW to PMI

Hi,

Does anyone happen to know roughly when these flights will be released for sale.

Also how many flights a day are there in the Summer as I take it there is more than the 1 return flight currently?

[davidjohnson6]

Lgw - Pmi

In recent years these have been released for sale in the first half of December. If you go to the Easyjet website, and click on the 'Timetables' link, you can see the exact times of flights for summer 2008, during which there were 5 flights on a Saturday

Medical Divert

6057 BRS to AGP had to divert to Nantes for a passenger with a suspected heart attack. Arrived in Malaga only 1 hour 20 mins late. Friends travelling said it was handled very well, hope poor chap is ok.

I was about to express my concern regarding the EZY's prospects in Sweden as it's initial reception in Stockholm (LF's and bookings) has been far from perfect so far. After all, the penetration of lcc's in Sweden is fairly high. However, the bankruptcy of Sterling could change the situation very radically. There are now several routes not served by low-cost carriers anymore. So, bad luck for some means opportunities for others.

Btw., one of the short-haul "monopoly" routes in the area is the popular (and expensive) ARL-HEL link. Both SAS and AY will certainly try to keep the fares high without a competition. Worth a try, presumably!

Concerning Finland, the first EZY route is set to start next Monday and the bookings look somewhat better here. One cannot forget that Finland is one of the countries with lowest low-cost carriers' penetration in the entire EU.

Last week the polls results have been published in Helsinki (the survey was ordered by easyJet) - and the results are:

• More than 75 percent of Finns in general are dissatisfied with the current low-cost flights supply, among Finnish students only 16% said they were satisfied.
  
• About half of the respondents would use more often low-cost airlines, if the supply was better.
  
• The most of potential low-cost passengers could be derived from students, as well as directors and high-income senior representatives(!), only so called middle classes were somewhat less interested.
  
• Finns want the same low-cost flight selection, as other Europeans enjoy.

"The message is clear, as the supply of low-cost flights in Finland remains very scarce. Low-cost carriers transport just 2 per cent of passengers from Helsinki while such a share in the entire EU is 34 percent on average", says easyJet's Regional Director Thomas Haagensen.

Only less than a quarter of all survey respondents consider the current supply of the low-cost airlines as sufficient. In addition, easy Jet study found out that the high incomes of Finnish passengers are no obstacle for them while choosing the airline.

The easyJet survey was conducted by TNS Group during 36 weeks, and it has received the answers of a total of 1,260 persons from different parts of Finland.

The new flights to BCN and BIA fit together: BCN double daily (morning and evening) and between (midday) BIA.

PEE - why has easyJets initial reception in sweeded been far from perfect so far?? Sources??

[pee]

(Sweden) far from perfect so far??

With EZY it's possible to book for max. 40 pax at a time. Last Tuesday you could book 40 tickets on both routes from Stockholm whatever date you've chosen (also for the same day flights). In spite of that the prices weren't high, so I'm sure there must have been even more free places on these flights. But look at the booking system now! Sterling's bankruptcy has boosted the sales! I wish EZY well in Scandinavia (especially in Finland, of course), so I'm glad EZY is advancing now.

Where are the new routes for MAN. Or is it just LGW, LGW and more LGW new routes. Maybe MAN may get a new LGW service to connect at LGW

[squeaker]

Is it true Easy have flogged 5x A321's (originally destined for GB) to Monarch?

[Skipness One Echo]

As an aside, the latest A319s have no motto beneath the easyjet fuselage titles.
from - the webs favourite airline
to - come on lets fly
to perhaps - the economy's f***ed might as well have a weekend away?
