I searched for tfs and you can go on 5th July. £254 one way though. (787)

[oldbalboy]

Samj FAO is usually 737 as very low demand these days, PMI there might be some 788 rotations at height of summer but no planned 767 flying ex LGW only MAN.

Just had a look at summer 2017 longhaul programme. Cun and sfb going weekly from brs.

[MerchantVenturer]

BRS to Florida and Mexico in 2017 has been/is being discussed at some length in the Bristol Airport thread over the last 2-3 weeks.

[valefan16]

Some new destinations to be announced this week according to their Twitter, be interesting to see where, maybe Vietnam or Bali potentially.

St Lucia is already in the brochure for next year as is Cayo somethingorother in Cuba. Strange that the brochures were online the other day for summer 2017 but have now disappeared.

[toledoashley]

Yes, can confirm St Lucia and Cayo St Maria in Cuba are the new long haul destinations for 2017. Sardinia is new short haul.

Bali

Is that do-able non-stop on a Dreamliner ex-UK? (it's 500nm further than CGK, which is now being done by Garuda on a 773ER)

TOM seem to be expanding there presence at HUY by operating Palma and Tenerife on Charter Services for the Summer/Winter periods. Both Services operated by company B737-800 aircraft and so they seem to be testing the water at HUY at the moment, Palma and Tenerife are new charter flights to the area, also both served from Doncaster and so HUY expansion could be on the cards for TOM/FC.

I've got a sneaky feeling that Barbados will also be on the list from Bristol longhaul, as well as the return of Florida and Mexico

I thought the Palma service was operated by the NWI germania aircraft

Does anyone know when the four 767-304's are due back to Thomson?

I assume that they will all be used in the UK for the summer season.

[clipstone1]

both are due back from Germany in the next few days, giving the 4 for summer 2016.

[garry8g]

Thanks clipstone1.

I see G-OBYF is currently in Taipei - maintenance? And G-OBYH is still in Stockholm for TUI Nordic. Are they both due back shortly as well?

[CabinCrewe]

Nice to see Montego Bay back from GLA for short summer season 2017. Previously just associated with cruise trips.
