Agree it won't be friends.
The airport speak to many airlines about starting flights so by the sound of things we have to wait and see!
Has little red put summer 2014 on sale yet?

There seems to be a huge gap in LHR flights during the afternoons at the moment, nothing between 12 and 5pm?
Can't imagine that a 0755 departure to LHR is that popular against the train either?

Sorry, that was just an incorrect assumption as to the potential reason why. But as far as I have heard neither Virgin Atlantic or Little Red will be starting flights from Newcastle any time soon.

But not as good as the early mornign KL/AF AMS and CDG departures I
wouldnthave thought?

However my point was that early morning departures to LHR are usually for connections, and not just reliant on O&D who are likely to get the train for quicker city centre-city centre.

As for Virgin - airports are talking to airlines all the time, possible diversion point, long term prospects, etc. Day out of the office, nice lunch, night in a posh hotel - what not to like? Likely to mean nothing.

Somebody is getting too excited about this Virgin thing. The people in airlines who determine operational needs / do route deals etc. don't wear uniforms as they aren't crew. If you say red uniforms on the ramp are you sure it wasn't FLY BE cabin crew?

This mornings Jet2 TFS seems to be taking a strange outbound routing, heading out towards Belfast? Normally they go down to MAN and then over to DUB/ORK before heading out over the Atlantic don't they? Think this is the first time I've seen any NCL-TFS flight come over this way?

10 DME ARC, yeah thought that too, but last time I flew NCL-TFS we went down to Manchester first before heading out over Ireland, just a bit strange to see it come over Dumfries

Yes that would be a Tango routing but getting to/from the routes can be effected by the Oceanic tracks them selves which move so the shortest route to them may have massive slot restrictions hence the longer routing through quieter airspace!

LHR
Reason for length of time between flights is one rotation dropped during Nov, part of Dec, some of Jan and some of March.In fact 2 rotations dropped for about a fortnight in March. The connections then in some cases are terrible.
