a 757 from Belfast to Orlando would be cutting it fine, its been done direct before, but i recall the Air Scandic guys (Finnish??) putting the aircraft right on the upper weight limits in the flight envelope

B757 to MCO

B757's have been used many times over the years from BFS to MCO/SFB - Inter European I think was the first. It was taken over by Airtours and later upgraded to 767. The problem with a BFS - Florida route is that Dub has 3 a week with lass APD and ints into MCO which is a lot handier than SFB, particularly as US Immigration is cleared at DUB

I think what one of the problems is companies are holding back in saying they will fly the sfd route like thomascook have done in past couple of years then putting couple of flights on over july.If a carrier announced a florida route around sept they would get a lot of people book on it apd or no apd the fact is if a carrier such as jet2 put a B757 on a sanford or into the orlando international airport they would get a lot of pax use it so long as it was announced and advertised at right time of year.

LBA-SFB/MCO would come before BFS. I'd also guess MAN would be in there too, whatever the competition in place...

Little Blue. Easyjet I hate them cutting the NCL-STN route. I used that route a lot and for them to cut it. Im not happy. and why I like Jet2. They have great TV ads, Great Baggage Allowance and there Not orange.

Well, we're all in it to make money, and if NCL-STN wasn't making the dough, then it had to go !
It's the way of the world.
Enjoy JET2. Got some good friends there.

And remember, the future IS Orange....

How can you say you prefer it's an airline because of it's TV ads? If it was a patriotic old scoop BA style I could forgive you but jet 2's was an awful shouty ad that was tacky.

Easyjet's wasn't much better but this was admitted within the company despite having fantastic effect on seat sales.

It must have been making money for it to run. I allways used easyjet going to london. I would say it as on average 70-85 per cent full.

easyflyer83 I will make my mind up when I fly with Jet2 in June. Ive flew Easyjet, Ryanair and a few others. But ive allways had a soft spot for Jet2 for some reason. Maybe because they were the North's airline.

Lotso I think your right. Ryanair and Easyjet are ok but there service is not the greatest or best.

Nope. Lots of routes run with good loads and still lose money if the yield is poor. Clearly EZY feel they can make more money with the asset elsewhere. Seems the NCL base is dying on it's a*** alas.

Locos and "great" service is a tricky combo. You get some great cabin service occasionally but it's seldom the norm alas. You get what you pay for, that's not a criticisim as often I do end up giving them my business.

To be it sounds like North East airports are getting disregarded. at least we still have Jet2.
