As has already been stated, depending upon the upper winds, it might just be possible to do Florida direct. Most likely though there will be a stop in NE USA.
More often than not, B757s need to tech stop to Florida, but can usually get back to the UK direct.

Don't quote me but I think it routed via Manchester for crewing issues as it hopped around europe picking up passengers, and the same crew were unable to fly the full journey, a two sector jobby in Euro CTA then a hop over the pond is not fun for the crew! MAN-Miami is also pushing it, even for good old G-LSAB with her super duper pair of spoilers!

Jet2 took delivery of additional Boeing 757-23N aircraft today. This one is ex ATA, American Trans Air, N517AT, C/N 27973.
It has already been registered G-LSAK as it arrived into Lasham this afternoon direct from the USA

I would have thought before jet 2 can start operating their old sheds on ETOPS sectors there going to have to get some decent engineering support from a airline thats already got ETOPS approval

757 Etops
AB and AC are both ETOPS aircraft as well as from what ive heard AK will be also!
As for winglets 2 more are to get these whilst on C checks soon, either AA or AE and AD, AK supposedly already has them! and also AD is to finally too get sprayed into full jet2 colours at same time! This is only what ive heard whilst at work tho! so will have to wait too see if true.
The cabin upgrades on the 757s are looking awsome aswell! the 1st to be finished is AG and another 7x aircraft to be finished by may 2010! They make the aircraft look brand new inside! Wish i could show the pictures but dont know how to transfere them onto here!

Ernest Lanc's, Jet2 will look at any flights, the same as any other airline that operates charter flights will.
I am sure if Joe Blogs asked them to operate a flight to SYD and they could get the clearances and had the a/c available they would, the same as mine would.
So you see they are not necessarily looking at the Atlantic, but anywhere they can earn a buck or two.
Plus simonchowder, they have been operating ETOPS for over a year now.

I know that Jet2s fleet of Boeings are getting long in the tooth, but the airline does seem to attract a lot of bashing here on the forums because of serviceability issues. Does anyone here know what percentage of flights get away on time?
Thanks

Well, after last week allow me to rectify that somewhat. Flew to Prague last Friday and back on Sunday. Friday out 5 minutes late arrive 5 minutes early. Coming back I was mightily impressed. In spite of a late(ish) arrival into Prague by the a/c taking us back, all the snow (how do those airports manage it?) AND having to be de-iced at the end of the runway immediately prior to take-off, the old 737-300 (can't remember which - nice seats though!) managed it back just 20 minutes late. I just wish they (Jet2 and LKPR) had bloody e-mail addresses for compliments
