Jet2 from Norwich?

The management of NWI are set to announce some new flights and the Dart Group's Pa-31 visited NWI last week.

Could Jet2 be about to announce flights from NWI? Has anybody heard any rumours?

MJV, ALC, AGP and PMI with one based a/c.

Throw in BFS for good measure starting S10.

You think Jet2 would ever try out of the Glasgow market with the traditional summer spots, ALC, PMI etc?

I'm quite astonished! Flybe couldn't make these routes work ex NWI and I think they will be slim pickings for Jet2 aswell.

That said, I'll wish them the best of luck. I guess they do have the added benefit of Jet2Holidays to help them sell the seats.

NWI

They'll need it

The road network in that part of the world is crap (no motorways & few dual carriage ways) its often quicker to drive further west LTN,STN,EMA, Robin hood

Those are the usual routes that get the nod - BE charge much higher fares than these airlines do.

BE started operating the routes at NWI with Astraeus 737's and lead in fares at £39 IIRC. As INKJET says, I think they will find that the lure of STN will put a stop to any serious success - it's simply too close to be able to justify the higher costs ex NWI.

£3pp each way actually! So, not a huge amount, but still a bit weird. Surly such a nominal amount could of been hidden somewhere else in the booking process, rather that actually having a check in fee? I am confused?

£12 return if you check-in at the airport.

All these extra's add up. No wonder charter services are doing so well.

If you have no choice but to pay for something it should be included in the base fare, you can't not check in for a flight so why charge extra? Personally I'd rather the headline fare was £10 higher than have all these silly add ons. In the old days there was the fare, and a credit card charge - simple, now its just so complicated!

Well could try your local trading standards office..sure they'd be more than helpful.

Have to say have tried booking and it didnt add a charge, but did add 3.00 on top of the baggage charge so maybe thats it ???

they will charge you one way or another....anything to increase the price.

the only way you can do it cheaper is to check in online with no baggage at all....rarely happens if you are going on a trip!

Problem is the vast majority of customers only look at the headline fare.

If the headline fair is £10 more they say I'm not paying that I will book pikey for 99p. Then when they get all the way through to the payment part of the pikey website they say "oh look Jet2 was actually £5 cheaper-never mind I am on here now and can't be bothered to enter all those details agian I will just pay the £5 extra"

It is how it works and untill that stops the system just won't change.
