If you manage to get lowest fare off their website
it costs £885 rtn inc tax/fees this price is not much
more than other carriers (y) class
not only that but virgin upper class for 02nov
rtn 05nov is £7,071.00 and maxjets available fare
for the same date is £1,053
just looked at flyglobespan and maxjet prices
GLA-las vegas feb 2007 £901.00 business class low cost airline
STN-las vegas feb 2007 £998.00 business class all business class aircraft
maxjet will use B767-200 on this route
This means that MAXjet will be offering the only evening non-stop service from Las Vegas to London.
I see todays MAXJET 101 to JFK is via IAD, is one of there a/c sick

Great news for Stansted. On certain days by the end of the year the airport will have up to 5 daily flights to America.
3 daily flights to New York with Eos (2) and Maxjet (1)
1 flight to Washington (Maxjet)
1 flight to Las Vegas (Maxjet)

Heard talk today that Maxjet are considering BOS and SFO for early 2007,
this would all add up as they are due to get at least two more a/c around the same time, this would be great new for Stansted.
can anyone add anymore ?

The New York flights always seem to be quite full but most days the Washington flight continually says 'Inquire Airline'. Is this due to low loads or any other factor?

Is this the beginning of the end??
With Maxjet now one year old and people not having too many bad things to say about it a few cracks are beginning to appear.
On wed 8th Nov, The inbound maxjet pulled onto stand and as the jutbridge was just put on someone decided to open the right hand side door but forgot to dissarm the door!! consequently the slide deployed to many peoples ammusement that saw it happen! However its been the knock on effect of this that has really given a poor image. They then had to wait for their other aircraft to arrive to put the mornings NY pax on that flight delaying them by some time to then delay the afternoon washington flight.........later on the engineers at STN said it could not be fixed here so had to fly it empty to Washinton to fix it, meaning that WASH flight was cancelled. However it does not end there, as it had to fly back to operate the morning flight to NY on 9/11/06 it delayed it by 7 hours. when the aircraft finnaly arrived the already delayed pax were told that it had gone tech and after waiting all day they were bussed off to a hotel. and i can only imagine how angry some of those people were.
Im not sure if this week has just been particularly bad but i do know similar incidents like this have occured before and can only imagine with word of mouth being a good seller to companies that the word amongst prospective maxjet passengers is not all that good. After all these passengers are all probably regular United, BA, business class travelers and have given the new kid on the block a go but i think for many of these people it will be thier first and last time as they are Business people and they need to be somewere promtly and the service delivery is not upto standard.
I think they really need to get a new aircraft in use as they are now serving 3 destinations with 2 aircraft of which one of them needs constant attention to it and is always going tech.
Only time will tell but seems as if EOS is coming up on top here.

Maxjet's "new", B767 operated its first flight out of Stanted yesterday. N251MY is partially painted with a white fuselage and full markings on the tail.

Friday and Saturdays JFK-STN flights had 15 hour + delays, Sundays IAD flights were cancelled and todays STN-LAS flight is still on the ground more than 7 hours after scheduled departure (JFK was 3 hours late leaving).
So much for the arrival of the 3rd plane improving reliability. Anyone know what is going on at Maxjet? Their 767s seem to go sick after every flight
update - Monday's 1pm STN-LAS still has not left as at 11am Tuesday and Tuesdays STN-IAD is cancelled - again - for about the 3rd day running.
further update- the Monday LAS flight, having been rescheduled to Tuesday 7am, then 8am, then 11.15am has now been cancelled altogether. I guess they couldn't fix the plane -which was the latest addition to the MY fleet - N251MY I believe.
That's now 2 planes out of the 3 currently out of service. Oops.

care to elaborate further?
Actually, they currently have 2 of their 3 planes out of service. Only the JFK flight has operated this week. LAS + 3 flights to IAD
have been cancelled.
I have a vested interest here, as I'm supposed to be flying with them next week to LAS taking my mother for her 70th birthday. Would be a shame having to spend it at STN, so if anyone has any knowledge of what's going on, it would be appreciated!

so. the passengers on todays MY 711 to LAS were called for boarding at 12:35 today.
But good ol N251MY never left the gate and the flight was finally cancelled about 6pm. Since Sunday, all 5 IAD/LAS flights have failed to make it off the pier.
I've now rebooked the outbound for my trip to VS. Still coming back on MY - that's if it ever gets to LAS

If Maxjet are making money on the Vegas route at £950 return, then I hope they are around for a long time. Speaking of which - anyone know why they are timetabled 2 hours longer outbound than return. Is there a refuelling westbound only?
