I'm told from a person who works in the travel agents for Thomson that there is no new routes from NCL.
I'm sure that we have got Dubrovnik back as a cruise and stay but could be wrong

All good news though, Venice is a gaping hole from NCL (I'm flying NCL-BRS tonight and BRS-VCE tomorrow)
Jet2 do well on their city routes so I'd be surprised if they weren't at least looking
If EZY brought Paris back and opened up Venice again, Jet2 did Budapest and someone (EZY/FR) brought Milan back next year... It'd be a good year

Maybe EasyJet could look at and make a success of Copenhagen from NCL.
Looking at Return fares from NCL - CPH the cheapest are with BA via LHR at around £250
Cheapest direct fares with SAS are £320! (various dates from June onward)
EasyJet from Edinburgh to/from Copenhagen is c. £29 each way (£approx. £60 return)
- Wonder how many people get the train/tram to Edinburgh Airport from Newcastle at around £25 return? Much cheaper!
Sure we would also get a lot of Danes traveling to Newcastle at EasyJet fares.
Pity Easyjet don't operate at Oslo, Stavanger & Bergen airports (LCC seem to be dominated by Norwegian), as these were always popular with repeat visitors to the region when Braathens operated daily 737 services - and weren't particularly low cost)

VCE and CDG can be operated by aircraft based in these locations freeing up NCL based aircraft to fly more routes or keeping encurrent setup but with more flying done from other bases. TFS should have increased frequency.
I don't think CDG was a matter of it not making money rather they thought they could make more money elsewhere.
CPH has been done. City places come and go. I just don't think CPH is on trend enough right now to sustain a 156Y service. In fact, easyJet just doesn't have a good track record when it comes to Scandinavia (except for CPH).
easyJet continues to deliver a strong performance at NCL. They're taking the fight to Ryanair. They chased Vueling out of town and are continuing to develop the base. Even the tiny increase of 6 seats on their A320 will help the economics of the base.
Haters gonna hate, but orange tails will be here at NCL in bigger numbers for years to come and staff will continue to be based here. There will never be a fourth aircraft.

I believe in "use it or lose it" so where possible I fly from Newcastle...
However, the better half lives in Bristol so it's relatively convenient for me, and the return fares from BRS were not to be sniffed at, especially with the convenience of my easyJet plus card
We did Milan, Rome and Venice from Newcastle last year with Bmi regional, Brussels Airlines and Alitalia
For routes like Venice, though.. Do people really want to spend hours just travelling to the airport, on what is likely to be a 3/4 day trip. Look at Berlin, it's not doing too badly at all, and I can say anecdotally that a lot of people I know have only just booked up to go, or considered it seriously because of the direct flights (myself included, 29th June I'm off). It was probably the biggest example where people would say "I'd love to go but it's such a pain to get to from here, it's not worth it"
And for anyone interested, quick neb on the computer screens today. EZY569, NCL-BRS, 119 pax (124 with 5 no show) and 13 checked in bags

I haven't parked at NCL before but I was just wondering if I pre-book and give a leave time but my flight is delayed and it's later than that what happens?
Do I put my card in the machine on departure and it gets charged extra automatically or do I have to call for assistance somehow?

If it does, just call for assistance and say your flight was delayed, they'll probably waive the extra charges.
