Monarch only had one major incident at GIB with the B757.
By the way, the only a/c that MON can operate into GIB is the A320 or B757.

Thanks Mr Spotty about the incidents at Gib - I think the second one was with an Airbus. Cheers C3B.

Not a MON one, only the B757 incident.

Jet2 have chosen to paint their latest 737-800 in a livery similar to the one worn by the two leased Allegiant 757s. Is this the beginning of a new livery to be worn by some aircraft promoting Jet2holidays?

I guess there is always a possibility that Jet2 will be leasing this 737 to Allegiant over the Winter Season 2011/12, this would make the exchange of aircraft easy.

It could be. Reason I think this is because the actual Allegiant Air livery/logo is a slightly different style to this especially the sun on the tail...

In my opinion though it looks quite messy and definately doesn't suit the current jet2 or jet2holidays style writing or colours. It may start messing with their brand image to the different arms of the company to passengers point of view too.

Wont affect things though will it...

It will probably spend most of the summer parked up!!! lol!

[Penworth]

Why do you say that? I can see these 800's flying every hour available over the summer, filling in where there isn't the capacity for a 757, as well as all the Rome's, Budapest's etc.

I like this new Jet2 holidays colourscheme.

Personally I think the original silver Jet2 painted aircraft look dated now.Prefer the white ones,at least this has a bit of colour to it.

Why does it say Jet2h on it,didn't they have time to put on all the transfers?

I don`t think you will see much of the Jet2 fleet sat around during the
summer and even less of the lastest arrivals as they are leased as opposed to owned and they will have to earn their keep

Why would G4 want a B737-800 on lease? None of their crew will be trained on it as they are an MD-80 series/B757 operator

Here's a shot of the port side to satisfy the curious:

Maybe lease will include crews?

LSAL is only on a summer lease and will go back to Allegiant for winter, hence the hybrid livery. GDFD is also on a short term lease for now so it's got the Holidays livery to keep it consistent. The rest and future fleet will have the normal livery, as aircraft cycle through maintenance they will have the 'friendly low fares' scribble down the side replaced with one of the airlines USP's such as on LSAA.

I've just booked some Jet2 flights - how long have they had a fuel surcharge ?
There's also an on line check in fee which seems impossible to avoid.
Neither of these is obvious until the very last stage of the booking.

Jet2 imposed Fuel Surcharges on mid-haul flights from the date that Summer 11 flights went on sale last August. Fuel Surcharges were added to short-haul flights around December. I booked flights to Faro in November and there were no Fuel Surcharges then. If they know that far in advance that a fuel surcharge is necessary, I think it should be incorporated into the basic fare.

There's also an on line check in fee which seems impossible to avoid.

Correct, you are in fact being charged for printing your own Boarding Pass.

Again correct. It is a case of watch the price escallate as you progress through the booking process. Hopefully some watchdog will put an end to this deviousness and make these airlines show a total price up front for all non-optional charges.

i have booked a flight from leeds to dusseldorf in may and i wasnt charged a Fuel Surcharges and i booked my flight in february

[righthandrule]

If you choose one of the promotional flights, the ones marked 'lowest fare' on the low fare finder search and don't check any bags in the online check in charge is knocked off.

[TSR2]

Chitty

You must be lucky as there is now a Fuel Surcharge on those flights.

[TSR2]

Just to highlight how absurd the current pricing system is, if you take LBA - DUS on the 3rd May and returning 10th May, the headline fare is £1.99 outbound and £0.99 return. The price you pay for on-line check-in, handbaggage only, NO 'optional' extras, and paid for by Debit Card is £70.47.
