I've just booked an F class ticket to SIN in September with EK...from LGW.
It is almost half the price flying from LGW in FIRST than it is to fly BUSINESS from MAN with the same airline...
They do make it hard to choose MAN don't they...
*Dear Mods - this is not an advertisement, it is clear proof and reason why 50% of MAN based EK passengers travel south to head to DXB and beyond...

Re EK from LGW Vs MAN fares, probably supply and demand.
QR have also offered some amazing fares ex LGW last year.
Must be struggling to fill them.
Dont know traffic figures but every time I use EK ex MAN its packed, some of my colleagues have had to travel to BHX to get a seat on some days.

Not so. The current prices booked direct with EK for travel 6th Sept. returning 20th Sept. are:
MAN - SIN F Class £3535.69
MAN - SIN C Class £2195.69
LGW - SIN F Class £3733.60
You must have booked a special deal.
MAN - SIN F Class £3535.69
MAN - SIN C Class £2195.69
LGW - SIN F Class £3733.60
You must have booked a special deal.
I haven't booked with the company direct, but with a company who use clouds on their adverts...
I'll send you a PM...

Mr Muirhead's Successor?
There are suggestions on the Monarch thread that their CEO (Tim Jeans) is leaving. I don't know if there is any truth in this, but he would make an outstanding choice for the forthcoming vacancy at MAG. His tenure in the marketing department at MAN was a high point for the airport, and he went on to play a high profile role in the expansion of Ryanair before leaving them to head Monarch Airlines. If his time at Monarch is coming to an end, MAG should give him a call PDQ ...
I wonder if TJ is still on MOL's Christmas card list? If anyone could foster good relations with RYR maybe it is him! Didn't they once 'headhunt' him, after all?
SHED.

Shed on a pole - Just another minor point Peter Brown is the CEO of the Monarch travel group.
Tim Jeans is the Managing director of Monarch Airlines.
It is PB who is leaving. See the Monarch thread.

I'm good, me.
However thanks for reminding of that post, you never did answer my point of how you would make an unwilling vendor sell their shareholding.
it.

Shame it's not TJ though. Yes I did read it properly. Not inattentive: just fond of creative licence. Not myopic: actually long-sighted. And yes, almost certainly conceited, but I'm in good company on Pprune with that characteristic!
I don't know how to force the shareholders to sell up, but as GCX I'd make it my priority to hire someone who did know.
