MANCHESTER - 5
Wouldn't mess about with the Monarch "sales" gimmicks, EZY from LPL far cheaper, espcially on the BCN, saving about £40 each way per person on the MON fares on the dates I want.

Booked with EZY, AGP-MAN return for September at the weekend. €89 return.
Similar timed EZY flights on same days to/from LPL are €180.
ZB for the dates in question were in excess of €200.

Not sure about Bmibaby though, but if they want to keep up at what looks like a growing MAN (which personally I think is only going to get quicker) then they better get in early because if MAN's predictions and FR/EZY etc. expansion continues as it does, then getting their feet under the table early may not only benefit their MAN base but may also fund further growth in the airlines.
Been looking at the ZB MAN-LCA schedule and on the Wednesday, there are two flights inbound! (01:25&21:40 dept)! So - EZY/BA, ZB and CY all on the LCA route before charters! Interesting route to watch next summer!

Air Asia X
If you take a look at this link from the trip reports section of Airliners.net and scroll down to the Air Asia A330 photos you will see MUFC plastered all over the engines also MUFC placards in the terminal, so Air Asia seem to be milking MUFC on more than their special scheme A320, or is it MUFC milking Malaysia ?
Either way I think the A330 will look grand gracing MANs concrete.

MUFC fan...
With regards to Air Asia have you heard anything definate or are you just guessing? Back in October, their top bosses visited the airport and a few days later I heard through a few of the terminal managers that the possibility of them starting MAN-KUL was very likely. Since then all has gone quiet and I assume an announcment is expected soon but whether or not it is good news for Manchester, I cannot say for sure.

But customers will always choose to fly with ZB because they CARE
When you ask where the hot towel service has gone, why there is no longer a free newspaper, why you now have to pay extra for your meal, hold baggage, seat reservation and scratch card...they just SMILE
LowFare-MoreCare - mmm...think I might have to change my name

Intrigued as to where you get your figures from as nothing published on the Manchester Airport website, and the CAA figures are not due out until 14th January.
Think I will wait another week and then see what is published. Do your figures include transit passengers/movements, or are they purely relating to terminal traffic?
