In the first week in May the return flights are usually empty as they are taking out the first pax of the season so returning to a different airport wouldn't be a problem

Thomson were the first to offer 10 and 11 night breaks on twice weekly departures which acccounts for most of their program, so wherever twice weekly departures operate then varying durations are offered and have been since the early 80's. Granted not 3 nights which is not a standard 'package holiday' requirement.

Well, hate to say it guys but if anyone is after a holiday duration that isn't the standard 7/14 days, then easyJet and easyJetHolidays provide flexible periods to numerous destinations including NCE, BCN, ALC, MLA, AGP, FAO, PMI, GVA, RHO, SPU and JER.
Maybe next time the easyBashers who want the base to shut might remember that this would get rid of lots of choice.

Easyjet certainly provided flexible periods for my last holiday - a four day break was turned into a nine day one as we sat in the departure lounge waiting for our return flight.... 
They also take a flexible approach to such basic customer service actions as returning money, answering e-mails, etc,

HH... apologies for the delay in my reply, I have just returned from a 4 night break in Alicante! I am not sure what they are as Thomson don't send out brochures to us as we are a telesales and online agent.

Which airline took you to Alicante?
But... I must say I'm quite proud of myself, just booked a return NCL-Shanghai-NCL for September/October... £321
Will need to book my seats which is about £40 but still a marked saving over the next best I found at £420

Emirates flight today operated on A6-EWJ - (Arsenal Livery) (77L) B777-200LR, which has approx. 100 fewer economy seats than normally operated B777-300 series.
(216 v 310 to 330 dependent on configuration of business class either 21 or 42)
Is this a one off due to low demand? or other reason.

Every year we talk about this.
Low demand is MAY/June if I remember correctly but also we have seen 200's before due to operation reasons.
I'm sure that tomorrow things will be back to normal...

Major emergency....
Newcastle airport emergency as passengers are evacuated from plane - Mirror Online
Slow news day, its not even an incident. Pax were asked to leave the aircraft, hardly an evacuation is it? Wait til the Daily Mail get hold of the story, 'Terrified passengers on packed jet leap to safety from inferno onto Newcastle runway.'

BUDGET airline Easyjet has refused to rule out new flights from Newcastle Airport as it seeks to overcome the impact of terror attacks.
She (Ali Gayward, UK commercial manager) confirmed the company was committed to Newcastle, revealing it would announce its next destinations from the region in the coming weeks.

I hope it's just more than them looking for free "good" publicity claiming to be committed to the NE whereas they're actually just filling in for the routes they've cut because Ryanair and Vueling stole their pax
Either way... Variety is good!

This afternoon's LS582 squawked 7700 on its way into NCL, reports are of an unruly male restrained on board. Assistance was requested by the crew on arrival - yet another idiot kicking off. Let's see how slow of a news day it is in the morning
