Poor AA! I saw her this morning at PMI while I was getting the TCX flight to Leeds.

So when these 75's are in for their checks are other aircraft going to be leased in or are the 73's working extra hard?

Newark flights

I see it is now possible to book the limited series of flights to New York,on a seat only basis.

Checked the first departure on the low fare finder,came to £411 plus fuel surchage I presume.

Not that cheap,but it may attract some more punters that have friends and family to visit in the New York area,and don't need a hotel package trip.

You have been able to book 'flight only' to EWR since early May. The price then for November departures was £622 inclusive of all taxes and surcharges.

Looks like they have reduced the price somewhat.

The first departure to EWR is indeed £411.98 with the only additional charges being £7.99 each way for checked-in baggage and £16.05 Credit Card charge bringing the total to £444.01. There is no fuel surcharge now.

Interestingly, there is not one single reserved seat on the entire aircraft for the first departure.

The basic fare includes one hot meal in each direction. Snacks and drinks can be purchased on board. Full service is included in the Jet2plus package at £99 Each Way per person.

No need to sub in as there was a spare 757 once AJ came on line. Gave plenty of sub charter opportunities during the early part of the summer season.
Now however, things are a lot tighter so tech = stuffed particularly at the weekends!
737s are just as tight so the unfortunate damage to LC in PMI resulted in a European 737-200 coming to LBA to help out Friday & Saturday.

They tried that with a tom 737 a week earlier. Didn't tell anyone though so wasn't noticed till it was back in the UK. Sounds like some of the baggage handlers in PMI should have gone to specsavers. Hope they've got there P45 spanish equivalent.

We don't self handle in TFS...... Ground Force staff are quite good there.

I was just wondering if it was Jet2 staff that day??

Knowing how much pressure those guys are under to get on-time push backs I'm not surprissed something like this would happen.

Although I've noticed that what we record as 'off blocks' and what they record can differ by up to 20 mins!!

Maybe offblocks is recorded due to the fact it can take 20 mins to taxi to runway. Some airlines used to record doors closed as time of departure especially if the delay was 2hrs59

TFS has Jet2 groundstaff for customer service, however ramp handling is provided by groundforce so its 50/50

Sorry, thats what I meant. Customer service staff don't usually drive baggage loaders .

Trebor - Good point but I think the target of 85% or higher on time departues is the more likely reason........

Dont know if its been mentioned or not been on for a few days, see Jet2 have changed booking website, still dont show the prices including taxes and charges which is so annoying.
Good to see a new route for next summer as well outs blk to mahon , maybe only a weekly but just kind of thing that should do well out of blk, hopefully few more weekly destinations will come our way in not to distant future
