What's going on with the Tuesday and Wednesday MAN-BUD flights through the summer.
A whole raft of them have been CANX and I have a very unhappy missus here as it has ruined a few days away we had booked in May, hotel booked and everything....
Come on LS, get your act together...

Jet2 Online Checkin
Trying to check-in online for my MAN-MJV flight on Sunday but the Jet2 website keeps saying that online check-in is currently unavailable. Does anyone know if this service will be down for a while due to them upgrading this facility or is it just a temporary website fault?

Ex Cargo Clown, maybe the MAN-BUD will eventually suffer the same fate as other city-pairs that LS have dropped from MAN?
Wouldn't be at all surprised, as LS is increasingly moving over to holiday-only stuff at MAN.

It would appear from the fare finder that the BUD route has been pruned for the summer, but if you check the timetable it shows a daily service
.
I believe that BUD was considered for the chop along with the other routes that have been withdrawn over the past few months, but it has been a good route for the last couple of years. I believe that Ryanair are/have started BUD from LPL
, and believe that will have influenced the decision, as well as many of the others

It will be a real pity if they drop the BUD route because when LS set up at MAN these were the routes that set them apart from all the other LCCs who just operated to the sun spots! Now LS is becoming just another face in the crowd.
Luckily it seem WW are heading more towards the city routes.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it annoying that J2 have gone back to showing base flight price then adding taxes on the next page... I find it a backwards step personally, or is it that ,their fares were looking expensive compared to the competition?

take-off
The 'TOTAL FARE' including taxes is shown in the box on the right hand side on the same page as the basic fare. However, as clearly stated, the total fare EXCLUDES a fuel supplement and variable credit card fee currently £2 per person per flight which I feel is scandalous.
I believe it is extremely misleading of Jet2 to quote a figure as 'TOTAL FARE' when there are non-optional add-ons later in the booking process.

TOTAL FARE -is it, or isn't it?
Have to agree with both TSR2 & take-off on this subject as the fare after all the add-ons becomes far more expensive than most locos. This seem to be have been noticed by many customers who now look elsewhere, especially on their flights from Manchester where the city-break operation has been cut back alot. Even adding on the fare to get to Liverpool, RYR & EZY seem to be a cheaper option.

I thought that the fare inclusive of taxes and charges has to be shown on the same page and its now a requirement for it to be done this way. Wasnt that part of the reason why Ryanair upgraded their booking system (i know it wasnt the only reason) but am sure a deadline was set for doing this (cant recall if its an EU issue or a UK only one)
BA/BMI/Easyjet show their fares inclusive and whilst flybe dont in terms of the fare you see in the flight options - to the right hand side of this (on the same page) it shows the total inclusive of taxes, i didnt think you could have the fare on one page and the taxes coming later - something to do with advertising and the passenges thinking they are getting a flight at £X but its actually £Y.
I know for extras (baggage etc this is different) although i wish they would show all of this on the same page, and it baffles me as to why using a Debit Card now attracts a charge with some airlines, basically stating its going to cost you extra however you pay - to a degree i can understand it for a Visa Card (although it should be a % of the cost rather than a fixed fee as it can be a high % against the lowest cost flights and the airlines Card issuer charges are a % of the total transaction and are not fixed fee so in some cases your paying more than you should be
) but for a Debit Card it should be nil!

debit cards
Debit cards attract a transaction charge and a chargeback mechanism for dubious charges. Adittionally companies have to lodge large cash deposits to cover any losses. A mid-size UK airline would have to finance £10m plus in deposits.
So thats why they charge for debit cards.

Price Hike
I have just done a costing for return flights between Manchester and Faro in June for comparison with the costing 4 weeks ago.
Total Fare (inc taxes) +36.6%
Fuel Supplement +21.5%
Baggage Charge +19.8%
Total Costing +30.4%
Must be either boosting cost of last few remaining seats or pricing themselves out of the market.
