TCX
So does that mean they will have 2x TCX 752s, 1x TCX 320 and the Smart Lynx 320 at NCL for the summer.
Are they there at the moment.

Thomson Summer 2013
The plan will be 3 based aircraft but only 1x757 and 2x738 so a slight drop in seats from NCL for next summer unless we get some extra flights on (w) or a 4th based aircraft?
Good news on MON flights to SFB wonder if we will see any short haul routes from them also??
Still no announcment on the Airport website or a message on there facebook or twitter accounts about the new link to poland with OLT Express!
If they dont start pushing the route i cant see it going to last long if its just the spotters that know about it unless they are hoping for inbound pax to northeast only??

WHY HAS AIRPORT MANAGEMENT DECLINED TO COMMENT?????????
OLT Express launch flights from Newcastle Airport to Poland
by Michael Brown, The Journal
May 9 2012
NORTH East businesses will have a direct link to one of Eastern Europes financial capitals with the launch of new flights from Newcastle.
Expanding airline OLT Express have earmarked Tyneside for a twice-weekly service to the Polish city of Bydgoszcz pronounced Bid-gosht which could see 38,000 more passengers heading in and out of the region.
And that could mean a boost for the local economy, as firms over here benefit from being able to work more closely with their counterparts in a city that boasts 38 different banking companies, 37 insurance firms, heavyweight Wall Street hitters like JP Morgan as well as heavy chemical industry.
NECC Director of Policy, Ross Smith, said: The ever-expanding roster of destinations offered by Newcastle International Airport is a credit to the airport itself and testament to the North East becoming an increasingly desirable place to visit and do business.
Bydgoszcz is one of the major economic cities of Poland.
These new flights not only open up another potential market for regional business, Bydgoszczs rich cultural offer will no doubt attract many tourists.
Likewise the North Easts burgeoning reputation as a tourist destination will bring people to the region.
Bydgoszcz and its near 360,000 inhabitants are found about 60 miles north east of Poznan, and will be a three-hour-five-minute flight from Newcastle when OLTs 180-seat Airbus A320 takes off every Wednesday and Saturday from October 31.
Tickets for the route are already on sale priced from 149 Polish zloty about £28.
It will mark Newcastle Internationals second route to Poland, as Jet2.com already run a twice-weekly service to Krakow and is the eighth new route announced from the city since December last year.
A spokesman for the airline, Magdalena Gordon-Wesolowska, said she thought the new route would meet an existing need for a link between the cities on the Tyne and the River Vistula.
Many people from Bydgoszcz already work in Newcastle, make business there or just visit Newcastle and its area, she said.
But were counting on tourist and business travel from Newcastle as well. And so we hope that Bydgoszcz-Newcastle route will be very popular.

More Polish workers en route to do all the jobs that don't exist
Why don't they ever market the North East/Northumberland etc as somewhere others can visit, as opposed to this one way traffic when tourism is concerned? As an outsider seems a little odd.

Doesn't sound like it's one of those routes which has been lured in by heavy discounts then!

MONARCH NCL - ORLANDO 2013
This route, appearing in the 2013 Monarch Scheduled timetable represents a big expansion from fortnightly in 2012 for a limited period 29th May - 21st Aug to weekly from 28th May - 1st Oct. A huge increase in capacity available.

Yes JamesAir, CWL has also had the service upgraded to a full summer service in 2013 to SFB with weekly departures with MON. Nonetheless, not long now until the 2012 ones start from CWL and NCL. Must have been half decent bookings for this year, for them to launch next year's flights !

Orlando
Yes there has for a long time now been a shortage of seats to Orlando. Hence the very high prices being charged in the past by Thomson.
I see all 3 TOM based aircraft being quite well utilized from NCL at the moment although the season has just started.
However the same cant be said for TCX just now. Perhaps that may change as the season continues.

Hasn't the number of LHR flights regularly changed between summer and winter in the past, in the same way that the AMS does?
Having just launched LBA I'd be surprised at a LHR service from MME, unless somebody is bunging cash at them.

LHR
The number of weekday flights does not normally change between summer and winter. Weekend frequency does slightly change ( 5/6 Sat in winter to 4 summer ) I think Sun is constant.
Other than for a couple of odd months you would have to go back to the days of BKS/Northeast to have frequencys as low as the summer 2013 schedule.
I thought BA were talking about increasing frequencys on existing domestic services with the new slots.
The summer 2013 NCL-LHR are showing very long
gaps between some flights, especially in the afternoon/evening. Its not exactly a good business schedule.
Maybe it will be changed, but BA rarely change schedules once published.
The passenger numbers on this route are usually growing with very busy flights feeding the LHR services, so the reduction is surprising.
