My landlord was booked with Scott Travel, and he could change his holiday over to another Turkish holiday within 24 hours. Looks like Holidays4U or Goldtrail have taken over the bookings.

Eastern are changing the NCL - SOU flight times from 7th July

OUT.. 0850.....1400....1700

IN......0850.....1725....2015

main difference is the 0700 early departure from SOU

Dear ASH666

Was the sandwich any good?

BTW does anyone know if Uno's (restaurant on the Quayside) have changed their menu of late? After all food matters.

Apologies if this isn't relevant.

"Was the sandwich any good?"

Just back home! The sandwich wasn't at all bad. Not much of it which is all you expect on a 1hr flight. I was very disappointed that that was all I got on the LHR-Rome flight with BA as well.

I never thought I'd hear myself say it but I have found an airport with worse security (efficiency) than NCL -Rome's Fiumicino.
Actually, on my way out NCL seemed to be operating well for once

An earlier post suggested that the Newcastle -Hanover service was not operating this coming Winter.

It will be operating twice weekly on Fri and Sun. Oct till March.

I am afraid you are mistaken Jamesair. The last date you can book flights to Hanover is 31 October 2009. They did release the flights twice per week as you suggest, but they are no longer bookable.

Weren't Air Berlin rumoured to be talking to NCL a while ago?

BTW, what are load factors etc like on the NCL-HAJ service? I suppose they could be high, but it will depend on yield also.

When do tour operators generally release next summers programmmes? Only TUI have their long haul's on sale, but I'm guessing there maybe a possibility that CUN could be pulled, depending on how loads go for the rest of this season and how the place recovers from swine flu!?

Next summer normally goes on sale at the start of May, however I think most tour operators are eyeing launching summer 2010 late July/early August time. Long haul 2010 from NCL isn't looking too good. I haven't found one flight yet.

Also noticed TCX has rather a lengthy delay from KGS. Is the a/c stuck downroute? Anyone know why it's delayed? I'm assuming it's gone tech.

Tom has Orlando, Dom Rep and Cancun all on sale for 2010.

Thomas cook have a brochure out for Orlando with the Mon flight to Sandford in 2010 but the flight cant be booked?.

Looks lile the Limoges and Rennes are combined ie NCL- LIMOGES - RENNES - NCL for the next couple of weeks then they are only available via a connection through SOU or EXE. Have they been dropped or are they full??? anyone know the answer.

Maybe I'm reading it wrongly but the non-stop services to Rennes and Limoges seem to be available on the booking platform and additional services via Sou are offered.

Newcastle still seems to be the only major airport with its airport movements not listed in Aviation News.

Have had more time to look at it and it looks like the Limoges service is opperating, but the Rennes seems to be only via a connection at Southampton. Cant find a direct service!.

I was under the impression that by the end of the summer, NCL will be all A319, with 737's only coming in on rotation from Belfast.

However I think its taken them a bit longer to get the NCL crews through conversion training, so we may see the 73G here for a while. Is it still 3Airbus and 3Boeing at the minute?

RTG!
