I have been monitoring prices and loads for mid July with a view to a possible trip to visit friends in NYC and the loads don't seem to have changed much in the last few weeks, although the front end now has. Are we seeing late bookings with United? Pricing hasn't changed too much either.

I don't know, a trip to the USA is a bit of a big undertaking for a last minute trip. People will make quick trips to the continent at the last minute but I personally don't see a majority if pax being last minute bookers.

I've no idea of the pax profile and the breakdown of those on business or on leisure so I can't be certain and there will always be those who book last minute based on need or work, but I can't see these being in any significant numbers.

United

Going by the seat plans of today flight out. At 2330 last night the seat plan showed the seats not bookable (sold hopefully) at 89%

That's good I'm sure all business and economy were sold

TCX

An expensive day for TCX. A Titan 757 and a HiFly A340 in one day. That must have cost a fortune and that's before EU261* claims are taken into account.

*If applicable

That sounds a bit more like it for CO loads. It needs to be consistent and reliable season long however. All will be revealed at the end of the summer either by stats or availability to book for next summer season

I suspect you already know, but CO was the code for the original Continental/United who operated all the regional 757 EWR ops of course now UA for those who require it.

Ok, well it's almost five years since the merger began. It's a United Airlines flight, not a Continental Airlines flight. It is marketed as a United flight and is operated as a United flight. Continental it is not.

It is marketed as a United flight and is operated as a United flight. Continental it is not.
Although the two airlines are merged, flight operations are still not combined. So technically it's still dispatched and operated by former Continental crew, although now employed and working on behalf of United.

The last CO flight took was around three years ago and there was much ceremony to mark that occasion. This flight is a United flight. CO and UA came together on a common AOC a good while back. It is United. I can't understand why anyone would refer to a flight introduced by United, marketed and ticket by United, it carries a United flight number and United is written on the side of the jet as Continental. Continental it is not.

The route was announced last autumn, by United.

Previous to that Jet2 have done yearly city breaks to JFK for the last few years.

American announced and cancelled the route before starting in the early 00s.

Continental has had no involvement wit NCL to my knowledge.

United

Skipness:
Ooooh you were doing so well but it was introduced by....Continental.

#oops
No - You are wrong! Continental have never been involved with Newcastle (although the route is similar in respect of timings and routings of other former Continental routes out of UK & European airports on similar equipment. Continental was well merged into the United Airlines before their involvement with Newcastle. It may well have been an opportunity to expand their network before merging, and may well have been approached at the time of AA s failed start, but the current venture is solely United post merger.

Jet2 fly into Newark, New Jersey (EWR) - Not JFK

How unbelievably petty.
Here in Ireland, I still know people who refer to the local currency as pounds, despite us using Euro for over 10 years!

Question Wizz from Newcastle ?

See Wizz. Just announced flights from Birmingham.Cant believe the NE,s premier !! Airport can't attract them up here.Must now be the only region in the UK without flight s. Oh sorry. Don't want to spoil KLM,LH,EK !! Connections.
There are thousands of East Europeans in the NE and Borders,Yorkshire.

At least DTV gave it a go!
