Euro Challenger

I don't no where you were looking for those fares.
If you book now on jet2 for those dates,outbound £29.99 each and £7.99 inbound.
If you add all the extra fees etc will still be cheaper from Leeds.
Are you by any chance employed by DSA?

Tried those dates above and found that Jet2 wants £330.92 and EZY wants £181.28.

This is a pointless exercise quoting fares with one airline against another. Everyone knows these fares vary every day and sometimes several times a day, depending on how the bookings are going. Jet2s fares have been on sale weeks and will have several hundred bookings taken on them by now, therefore the yield management will have pushed the fares up. EasyJet have been on sale 24 hours from DSA. They need to get established. They will dump seats as a starter loss leader to get themselves known and that they are in the market at DSA. Check the fares again after Christmas. My guess is the difference will be negligible.

And you dont get treated like a suspect villain if you turn up with a car at Donny, then you get to fly in a new shiny Airbus...

Flights

Hi

No I don't work at Donny. My money has gone on the EasyJet flights though!

Jet2 was cheaper from Blackpool or Manchester than Leeds, but no where near EasyJet's prices.

Fort Lauderdale

Anyone know what today's flight from MAN-FLL is for?.

A 757 would have to make a fuel stop en route I presume?

Fort Lauderdale is one of the primary US departure ports for cruise ship voyages around the Caribbean. One-off flight charters usually link up with the itinerary of a specific cruise ship. That is the most likely explanation for the flight in question.

I would guess it is a cruise.

I don't think it would need to make a stop. AA used to fly a daily MAN-MIA schedule on the 757 during the summer months which flew non-stop.

AA's MAN-MIA was initially a daily 767 for November to March then got reduced to something like daily for 3 months the following year and then furuther reduced to a 3 or 4 weekly service for 3 months the year after.

plastic AF,

It IS direct, however not non-stop, maybe due to high passenger configuration.

My mistake, the MIA service was a 763. The 757-200 is capable of MAN-MIA however would need to be in a two-class configuration. Delta's 75X's have 184 seats, AA 182 and CO 175. I would make a guess that these aircraft would make the 3763nm route.

Jet2 - 2

More and larger hand-baggage allowance? Seems crew are now being made to leave their bags in the hold whilst pax can now take more and LARGER handbaggage. Only slight problem would seem to be that whilst the allowance has increased, has the cabin stowage been enlarged on the entire fleet to accomodate this change? If it hasnt then the volumetric disparity between 5 crew bags and 143 extra large handbags would seemt to indicate an awful lot of excess gate baggage becoming something of an 'issue'?

Blackpool is closed - does anyone know where the Alicante flight will head to? MAN is it's usual diversion airport but they have said they will not be accepting any diverts until 19:00 (obviously emergencies are exempt from this!).

I assume it will be LBA?

Due to significant snowfall today (Tuesday 5th January 2010) the operations at Blackpool International are currently suspended.

Passengers due to fly today have been transferred to tomorrow's flights.
Passenger and airline safety is of paramount importance and the airport will do all to ensure that safety is maintained.

A further decision about snow clearance on the airfield will take place at 1630 hours and will also take into account the weather forecasts for the rest of the evening and tomorrow morning.

We encourage all passengers flying to check with their airlines for the latest up to date information on their flights.

Further updates will follow and we thank you for your patience.

Does anyone think that Humberside's chances of getting LS are now much reduced following flybe's new Malaga service? I was expecting an announcement concerning HUY and LS for summer 2011.

Regards

Looks as though the AGP service is on behalf of a tour operator and not strictly a scheduled route. I cannot see it having any impact on Jet2 assuming they would be interested in basing at HUY. Even in BE offer more they could not reach the likes of TFS which are historicaly popular from HUY.
