The fares do seem to creeping up. The cheapest outbound on Tuesday is now £600(exc taxes) for a standard ticket & £810 for a flexible ticket. Inbounds are around the £530 mark.

Have you tried Maxjet and Eos. They will probably be full.
Not everybody will have changed to a different carrier, they might have changed to a later date.
Also remember there is Virgin, Continental, Delta and American from LON.
Anyway, shoud give Silverjet a booster start!

Could LTN have started ANOTHER revolution? It kick started the European LC market with EZY in 1995, could it now have the oposite market up it's sleeve?!
Great to see LTN blossoming and growing while in competition with LCY, LHR, LGW and STN.

Hope it all goes well!! The only thing that can let u down is the aircraft am a little sceptical about a one aircraft premium operation using a 24 year old aircraft with a very dicky history......hopefully u will pull thru the crucial first few weeks without any major technical issues??? Is the aircraft ETOPS on this route??? could add to journey times?

Not only did MAEL fail the ETOPS check according to you , but they failed also to get the contract, full stop.
It's MyTravel who have the contract for Technical Services and Engineering, not MAEL.
Unless MAEL are covering the Line operation at Luton until MyTravel recruit locally, but l don't think that is happening, but what do l know as l only work for them.

No being critical of your post just curious.

Ok Mr @ Spotty M, I bow to your superior knowledge. I was more interested in the fact that Maxjet machines are not ER versions, so Silverjet could shave less time off their route and thus get further advantage.

You might well be correct in that they might not have ETOPS approval yet.
On the other hand they might have only 120 mins or 138 mins, which l believe is the best to go for, on the routes that they have or are thinking of.
On the other hand they might be having a problem ensuring that only ETOPS qualified parts have been fitted to the a/c over it's life time.
This can slow the approval process down a little.

Flat-bed or not?
According to the review of SilverJet in The Times, and confirmed by a reply to the article from another passenger, the bed on the current SilverJet 767 is actually inclined, by some 8 degrees? I found this suprising given their advertising.
Does anyone know if the next two 767's which are to be delivered shortly really will have flat-beds?
