Virgin at NCL
Just got back from the US earlier today with Virgin. Was chatting to Cabin crew and they mentioned that Virgin were planning a limited service NCL to Orlando in 2013. Imagine along the lines of Glasgow operation. Now that would be interesting if the plans come off!!

Virgin
Long time since ive posted on here so here is my updates to what i think
I thought that Virgin was planning to operate to SFB for Summer 2012 but since they are leasing 2 A330 out they must be short of aircraft instead. Im sure that virgin holidays have seats on our daily EK service. With virgin having a travel shop in the centre of twn i believe that they will start to expand at NCL.
Im sure that virgin would buy seats on whoever starts the NEW YORK service too.
BRS lost there service as they are close too LHR and CO now have slots and flights from there. NCL is a total different area and i think we could get the route this time fingers crossed.
With BA and IB now part of the same group and IB starting flights to MAD from man and glasgow what are the chances they start a MAD service from NCL using the CRJ1000?
TCX for summer 2012 anybody know what the plans are 4x 757 but will 2 of the aircraft be from outside the group?
THink we will see TCX and TOM adding extra flights to turkey next summer but will see when 2nd/3rd editions brochures go on sale at the end of the year.
Im sure JET2 will add some new routes later this year for next summer.
Bodrum Would be a good bet cash in on H4U failure.
What do you think guys???

I can't see the location of a Virgin Travel Shop having one iota of bearing on where they schedule aircraft to or from. If Virgin are or were short of aircraft then they won't be deploying a/c onto routes lightly and I'm sure they have a plethora of higher yield routes they will plough before a new seasonal start up.
There is no NYC service so buying seats is a moot point as most travel operators would buy some seats.

I suppose there is a vague possibility of BMI operating to FRA for Lufthansa, but that will depend on how they view what the effect might be on their DUS route. Otherwise I would expect LH to increase DUS to 3x daily.
We could do with CPN and Italy is not served at all now.

Good news. Looking at the website it seems to become 2 x daily from 4th January.
morning flight...arr NCL 1035...dep NCL 1100
The evening flight looks a bit odd...arr NCL 2150...dep NCL 2155...must be an error there.

BHX-NCL
So there will be 2 flights at the same time BHX-NCL T34626 at 1610, one coming from CWL as T34626 and one from NCL as T34625 arr 1540?
Didn't think the BHX-NCL was that busy.

That's not the kind of news we want to hear Jamie!!!! so Ryanair will be back to 2 routes next summer, unless they come up with something else.
Maybe Norwegian will step in, or Flybe.
