NEWCASTLE - 8

[ReadyToGo]

I fly regular with T3 and get use of the fast track, but I wouldn't pay for it. Even at busy times, the difference between Fasttrack and normal hardly justifies the extra spend. NCL airport has its faults, but security has been much improved this year

Or have i just been lucky

I see that Air Transat flights to Toronto with Canadian Affair for summer 2011 are on sale.

[apaul]

EasyJet have released their summer 2011 flights from Newcastle. No Rome or Murcia. No Stansted either, but I suppose the route may still run operated by Stansted-based planes.

[Jamesair]

just had a look through the EZY flights....a lot of cutbacks....Bristol very odd with two flights out most days and one return, in September three out some days and seems to end Sept. 18th.

[apaul]

I expect there will also be some NCL-BRS flights with a Bristol based aircraft. They would not run a domestic route with the first flight in one direction at 9pm. Flights after 18 September have not been released yet. The same applies to other bases like Manchester.

Confused by an arrival tonight....due 2200 expected 2231 from Epined operated by flt No. 00ASL. anyone able to throw any light on this?

[mmeteesside]

Presumably Be200 OO-ASL which came from Epinal in France, departed to Brussels soon after. Strange to see it on the Arrivals board though.

[Jamesair]

Thanks for the info m8

[Jamesair]

Anything new expected when Flybe announce their summer timetable for 2011 from NCL ?

[SWBKCB]

Macquarie

The Financial Times is reporting that Macquarie (owners of Copenhagen Airport) are looking to sell their stake in the airport as they look to get rid of some of their smaller aviation interests

[apaul]

Looks like Flybe is dropping the direct flights to Hanover from the end of October.

[ash666]

what is the VLM892 from AMS this morning(8.40)? Can't be a KLM typo as that is due in soon after.

[ncleflights]

apaul - the flybe Hanover service was always planned to operate summer only, see the flybe press release from March

[Jamesair]

re the VLM flight....it said diversion....from where?

[SWBKCB]

was operating AMS-NCL and diverted to MME.

Summer 2011 scheduled changes

KLM changes for next summer, no more mainline. 4 x Daily KL Cityhopper. First and Last flights of day operated by E190s, and the two middle flights by F70s.

AF are back to 3 x Daily CR7s, so a slight increase there.

LH DUS still 2 x Daily, but both flights operated by CR7s with the retirement of the CR2s.

[ash666]

which are the KLM planes that don't let you take trolley type hand luggage on?

[CKT789]

Before the F50's were retired they used to make you leave them at the bottom of the stairs when boarding.

[ash666]

thanks, though I won't be using AMS for long haul any more, thank God.

[Earlyriser]

KLM aircraft that require Trolley Bags to be left at the aircraft stairs for delivery at the Aircraft in AMS are the Fokker 70 and 100.

Same for Air France, Lufthansa and SN Brussels at Ncl!

Any one know who the Titan 763 was operating for at NCL today?
