I wouldn't have thought it would be too much longer - that is of course providing the Board have approved any expansion. Not sure whether it is a good time to expand or not.....

We really should discuss this on the Flybe locked part of the forum. Things like the date of the next board room meeting where the LGW decision will be finalised should not be put out on this thread. Let's go over there for anything that might involve company sensitive info.

It should cetainly sort the genuine cofolk from the sh*tstirrers......

Hi Dash&Thump

Which post confirms the date of the Board meeting? I can't see anything (unless it has been removed) and therefore I see no reason why this cannot be discussed here? I am not trying to be a nuisance, just curious as I make a real effort not to discuss 'sensitive' information on here, only the stuff already out in the open

Flybe's website now shows routes between BHD and IOM, BHD and BLK and IOM and BLK all being Loganair franchise routes. Looks as though BHD - IOM is bookable but the others aren't, as yet. Unfortunately, the less than user friendly timetable doesn't show when the flights start. Anyone any more info?

Anybody know if the bad weather has affected the flybe network too much? LGW etc?

Just like to congratulate everybody at the company on ATW award....a good piece of news in tough times!

Flybe!!

Flybe are saying that they are cheaper than Air Southwest.

Air Southwest from 8th April is starting a new route from Plymouth - Guernsey. Flybe do that route from Norwich.

The same dates:

Air Southwest- £103
Flybe - £203.12


When flybe say there are cheaper
Don't believe them

Can this thread be moved to the flybe thread and not be on its own?

dalej123,

Your point being different routes have different prices?

You need to look at the directly competing routes to get an idea of price. Last time I checked Norwich isn't anywhere near Plymouth so you'd expect the cost to be different.

What are Exeter to Guernsey flight costs with flybe? (slightly more relevant)

First thing tomorrow morning £61.39, seems like flybe are cheaper on that single sample. Not bad for a last minute flight

Firstly surley this should be in the Flybe thread??

Secondly how can you compare prices on different routes?? last time i checked plymouth-gci and nwi-gci are totally different routes!! The airport charges etc can be different. But I suspect the main difference is that Flybe's seats have been on sale for months so therefore more seats sold = higher fares whereas I guess air southwest have just gone on sale so their cheapest fares available?

Last point as far as I can remember flybe have never promised to be cheaper than air southwest on all routes i remember something about offering lower fares on the LGW NQY route only but not an all round pledge.

Am I understanding your post correctly? Seems to have no point to it?

I bet you could find a cheaper fare from LON-AMS than EDI-AMS, or even LON-BOS than MAN-BOS.

Ar least compare apples with apples, or even pairs with pairs
