Jersey Flights
Good news about these flights. I do however remember that EU Jet tried the Jersey route and gave up on it after a few months. I suppose the aircraft are much smaller and so may be more viable. We have friends in Jersey so will definitely use the service if it survives.

Travel Show at KIA
According to Kent News, KIA have announced another travel show to take place on January 12 between 10am and 4pm at the airport. It will be interesting to see if anything new is announced. At the time of posting the news was not on the KIA website.
Re: Kent Escapes website, I also noted its absence. Some of the links to Seguro were also down, so maybe it is a general upgrade in progress.

I've also noticed that the Seguro site is down. Wouldn't surprise me if they've switched their servers off for the Christmas break!!!???? No wonder they have trouble filling their aircraft

Thy better get their site up soon as now is one of the busiest times for people booking summer holidays. A limited web page with a phone number would be better than nothing

I would be very wary of a website such as getaholiday It is not a member of ABTA nor, despite its use of the ATOL logo, does it hold an ATOL either. No company can sell flights that do not exist, so be warned!

Holiday Show....
Kent International Airport is hosting a holiday show to give local holidaymakers a taste of what is in store at a host of destinations. The show, in the terminal building, will include French and Spanish wine sampling, on-the-day holiday deals and the chance to win free breaks in Jersey or Verona. There will also be a range of entertainments for the whole family, including displays by the airport's fire and rescue service.
The show takes place on January 12 between 10:00 and 16:00. Matt Clarke, chief executive of Kent International Airport, said: 'We are really excited about the range of destinations our holiday providers are offering for 2008 and anticipate a great response from the people of Kent. The previous holiday shows we have hosted have proved extremely popular and the discounts available make it the perfect opportunity to book a summer holiday.'

I still cant work out why there is no decent advertising in respect of the flights avaliable from Kent International, a big bill board poster on the wall of the terminal building will only be seen by people who already know the airport is there, whats wrong with the bill board at Pegwell !! like any company, advertising in a major part of its development.

Manston Publicity
I am at a loss to understand the lack of properly co-ordinated KIA internet publicity. There seem to be two unconnected websites:
kentinternationalairport-manston.com and manstonairport.org.uk. The second site was updated 2nd Jan 08 by the addition of a press release, which is very easy to miss, in the bottom RH corner announcing the Jersey flights. There does not appear to be any link between the two sites. Manstonairport.org.uk is more comprehensive since it contains all the "piloty" stuff whilst the KIA site seems to be consumer aimed.
Many UK airports have one site with appropriate links to the various types of information, this is what KIA needs. A more professional approach could work wonders.
