Should be positive and say 1 step back 1 forward as we have known that TUI
was pulling out a while ago so Germanwings taking over is a plus

virginblue,

Further to your comment about TUI-Fly pulling out of the UK market completely, are you aware of any official announcement concerning the fate of the MAN-STR scheduled service? Its discontinuation would not come as a great shock, but in TUI's publicity I have only seen references to the MAN-CGN being axed. Does Air Berlin have any intention of adopting this route under their arrangement with TUI? Thanks for any clarification.

SHED.

Any links? Why these dates for the A380?

And schedules for the Germanwings flights to Cologne are nearly the same as Tuifly has/had, except Sunday, when the plane will leave man at 15.55.

Well, winter flights have long been released but no MAN-STR lfights are bookable beyond Oct.30. So not a lot of doubt about the fate of that route - of course TUIfly is not making a lot of fanfare about routes that are axed.

So not a new service as such then...as ever one step forward, one step back.
It is not a new destination or a new route, but a new service anyway as it is flown by an airline that so far has no flights into MAN. Maybe that's why some eagle-eyed ppruners immediately thought that I was indeed talking about CGN.

Don't those SQ A345s now have J class seating throughout the cabin? Manchester United deserve economy seats after their poor showing against Barcelona!

BMI regional are reducing services from Manchester to Glasgow down from 4 to just 1 flight each weekday from 29th June. All weekend schedules on the route have also been dropped.

They'd just pay for an upgrade!

Anyway, thanks Steve - should be good! May look at taking a trip to DXB in October!

Shame to see the BMI timetable fall even further - we'll have to wait and see what LH do if and when they take over. The jets are no match economically wise compared to the turboprops on routes as short as that.

Not according to the FlyBe web-site. They have reduced Manchester to Glasgow from 4 to 3 flights a Day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, onlymaintaining the 4 rotations on a Tuesday and Thursday.

Sorry Ametyst, should have made it more clear.
Flybe will take the passengers from the void left by BMI.

Dash's where never full, might fill them up abit more

Would doubt it although TCX are using a B763 on their weekend departure.
