Havent we had this discussion before?? B757s usually need to tech stop to Florida. Return will be direct. There is a chance (winds dependant on the day) that it can be done in one leg.....
That distance is still air distance!
I would bet on a tech stop at St Johns or Halifax, but I prefer Bangor, Maine lol

Why is Bangor, Maine preferable? Superior facilities, or just to say you've been to a place mentioned on 'King of the Road'?

DADDY-OH..... Didn't we have a lovely time, the day we went to Bangor.....
In fact, took my girlfriend on holiday. To Bangor.... (More than once)
BGR is an easy place to fly thru. Great service (and fast) from the guys on the ground, and no probs weather wise... Personally at this time of year the further south I can get the happier I am.

An ontime departure from Manchester seems to be an exception with anybody these days!!
In the first 3 hours of Departures this morning there has been 1 on time departure and 1 a few minutes early and the rest late - unfortunately seems to be the norm these days.

Over the last two weeks, I have flown with Lufthansa, Monarch & easyJet from MAN. All 3 flights pushed back ahead of time, I don't know which agents they use, but all appeared pretty smooth at MAN.
Maybe its just a Jet2 problem & teething troubles with new agents.

LS812 12:00 Geneva Arrived 12:25
LS2126 12:15 Chambery Arrived 12:10

LS810 13:40 Malaga Arrived 15:02
LS792 13:40 Rome Arrived 14:20
LS876 15:00 Faro Arrived 14:54
Not a great day, but not the worse at all..maximum 1h20min delay..Obviously this may affect a bit the flights for the afternoon, but at least nothing to worry about. So far,
LS801 13:45 Venice Departed 13:54
LS879 14:10 Alicante Departed 14:31
There are some airlines with worse delays including Aer Lingus, Continental, Viking and Monarch.

Jet 2 are not dreadfull carl there staff are fantastic and its not there fault there planes are getting on a bit and tend to break down more often, im sure that in the not too distant future the old planes wil lbe scrapped and new planes bought, when that happens they will be up with the best

Very unlikely that Jet2 will ever buy new aircraft

I believe that the point being made is that Jet2's policy is to acquire pre-owned aircraft. Hence any replacement aircraft will be "new" to the Jet2 fleet but not new-build aircraft. Hope this clarifies things.
