BHX-French routes and Waterford

As stated by CC the BHX flights have ended for years at the beginning of September and the only difference is the 4 a week Waterford.

Again as stated previously it is hardly going to provide an extra aircraft as it fits into an 8 sector day for the aircraft so unless the other 6 are chopped it isn't going to help unless there is a significant change to the rest of the schedule.

Website looking good. I like the promotions at the top of the page which compare FlyBe journey times with rail and road alternatives. However, did anyone spot the deliberate mistake? Apparently, Manchester to Glasgow by car takes three hours and sixty five minutes!

Nice work, though.

There is obviously a bug which will only be picked up if you dig a bit - when you can select routes to compare journey times airports seem to be duplicated a lot. Maybe it's testing for next weeks launch activities

National Rail / Stena Line via Ayr & Cairnryan, takes five hours, three connections daily, walk-up fare is £29 one way. Don't knock it, it's saved my skin a few times (although it's a shame the new port at Cairnryan requires a bus from Ayr; Stranraer station was beside the ferry terminal).

Interestingly enough, the walk up train fare for London - Belfast (change at Glasgow) is £52. Walk up train fare for London - Glasgow is about double that.

Like the booking options now of "JUST FLY", "GET MORE", "ALL IN" much more easier to understand the fare your choosing i think.

Video posted up on YouTube showing behind the scenes of Flybe's new TV adds, also explains some of the changes with the new tag line "fastest way from A to Flybe"

The general feel is very similar to what Monarch have done - even almost the same shade of purple!

An eye-catching purple aircraft, the Spirit of Liberum, will be the first Flybe Bombardier Q400 to take to the skies in special commemorative livery: and Improved on-board experiences feature the introduction of stylish purple crew uniforms and purple mood lighting as well as daily on-board winners, deplaning gifts and an on-time musical celebration.
All sounds marvellous apart from this.

I used to hate this on Ryanair because as far as the customer is concerned, being on time should be standard and not something that requires a celebration!

''anybody have a picture of what the aircraft will look like?''


There's a brief image at the end of this advert clip. I presume that the front end will stay the same as now, as going by the website and other new material the logo will remain unchanged.

You've got to laugh...

Banner adverts bearing the new strap line for flyBe today on the web proudly proclaim:

"The fatest way from A to flybe."

(Their spelling mistake, not mine!)

So this was posted on the Luton thread for some reason:


Flybe, the low-cost airline that serves Newquay Airport, has bid for and won slots to land at London City Airport from September, the Cornish Guardian understands.

However, there has been no definite report on whether it intends to use the new route.

A spokesperson for Flybe said: "Flybe is in discussions with a number of airports regarding the potential development of new bases, in line with its strategy communicated in November 2013 and during its recent firm placing and open offer.

“No final decisions have been made as yet. Flybe will issue further announcements as appropriate.”




Flybe also obtained a licence for a Luton - Guernsey service a few months ago but seem to have no intention of operating on that route so what's the point of applying for all these routes unless they intend to serve them?


Aren't they doing Newquay from Gatwick & Southend; surely there isn't demand for London City as well?

NQY-LGW is only until the end of the summer schedules and was a commercial agreement between CCC/NQY & BE to cover the shortfall in setting up NQY-LON as a PSO.

The PSO has been given the go-ahead by the treasury and CCC are currently tendering for NQY-LON PSO.

I assume BE will be bidding to do the PSO and if they do NQY-LCY would be that PSO route ? But that's a big assumption on my part.
