Eastern probably overpriced the route though but perhaps if what you're saying is true that might be why! It would be nice to see BA Cityflyer have some daily weekday flights. Very unlikely however.
Also, good to see that BA have re-added the 2010 flight to LHR back on the schedule after having a month or so without it.

Nothing to do with pax loads, It was to recover the programme. The outbound to SZG diverted to MUC due to weather. As the A/C normally does NCL-SZG-MAN-SZG-NCL the 763 operated MAN-SZG-NCL to reduce the delay while the 738 waited for the MAN passengers to be coached to MUC.

P & O cruises have announced that they will run charter flights to connect with 16 sailing of their "Ventura" ship from 7 regional airport, including NCL...flights will go alternative weeks to either Venice or Genoa.
The NCL flights (3) seem to be to Genoa on 16th April, 14th May and 1st Oct, returning from Genoa 14 days later in each case.

Aegean airlines were never planned to operate for this summer.
Last summer Olympic holidays chartered them just before the season started.
Not sure what the loads were but they mustn't have been good enough or they can't get the right aircraft for this summer

TCX Summer 2014
Not sure if its been mentioned on here before, however it looks like the based A321s will be the older aircraft not the new ones with the sharklets. Thats the plan at the moment, dont think it will change.

I thought the whole point of switching from 757s now was because the new A321s ? The SSH flights are already resitricted because of performace ? Seems stupid IMO that NCL has been switched this Summer

The capacity reduction has led to a price increase from TCX as happened when TOM did it last year. Sadly as a result we will be flying from MAN this year.
Will be interesting to see whether this prompts Jet2 or Easyjet to expand further into Greece/Turkey.

Not sure where you got that info but it's incorrect. The plan is to have the new aircraft in NCL from the summer onwards.
Liam, that is a very odd statement. I wasn't aware that people subsidised a company by booking to go on holiday with them? As the planes are coming to NCL does that mean that MAN/LGW pax are paying for the pleasure of 200+ Geordies flying on brand new planes?
How can the capacity not be reduced when changing to a smaller aircraft? What else would you suggest, getting 4 based aircraft so they can charge less for holidays? Also worth noting that moving from 235 seat 757s to 220 seat 321s isn't really much of a cut in capacity anyway.

TCX A321s
Daily Dalman Dave, I really hope your correct and I am wrong.
The Seat maps for the NCL flights on the TCX booking system show 220 seat A321s and 180 seat A320s from NCL in the summer.
The new A321s have I think 216 or so seats. Some of the extra legroom/exit seats are in different rows in the new aircraft vs the old one. I think there are some other differences also.
So if they are using the new A321s why are they allocating seats now using the old map. Surely they will know now where the new A321s are going.
If it does change quite a few passengers will have to be notified of the changes to their seat numbers.
