Thomas cook (vegas)
Hi am looking to book Vegas for early next spring(13), have been looking at Thomas Cook as they seem fairly competitive on price, how have loads been on last years flights, as they do only a once a week flight currently, but have noticed they are going to twice weekly next year, has anyone done this trip with them, or would i be better saving a bit more and going with virgin? Went to vegas last year with American to vegas via chicago, was ok, but connection was bit tight , looking at American is showing a long wait now at chicagoand not getting in to vegas till late at night.

I did MAN-LHR-LAS with BA at a very reasonable price and it as an excellent flight. Worth looking at. Absolutely packed flight but prices a little better now with the 747 on the route. Potentially going double daily next year too. BA Hols did a good hotel/flight package

Thanks for replys guys(gals!), was just looking at tommy cook as an alternative direct from man, rather than doing a change in chicago with AA, while cabin crew was nice, plane left alot to be desired , especially the flight back via JFK, oddly it seemed the 737 we had from LAs to JFK seemed lot more spacious than the 757 fom JFK to MAN, seemed very cramped, going out didnt seem as bad MAN to ORD, anyway Happy Easter

Fuel shortage...
Anyone know why MAN has a NOTAM out about a fuel shortage asking operators to upload as much fuel as poss at origin? I thought there was a direct line from the refinery to MAN?
DW.
DW.
There was a recent issue with a component in the fuel line, which caused a similar NOTAM to be issued.
Maybe the same thing has happened again, and getting it fixed/replaced over a Holiday weekend is taking its time.

"I’m sure I won't be the only one watching it land for the first time on North West soil and it will receive a warm Manchester welcome."

Out of interest how do you find out these things? I see emergencies on flightradar all the time and often wonder what actually happened? Are these things made public at all or do we just rely on someone "having a mate in ATC"?

Good news indeed on TLV. Hopefully there is room for both EZY and Jet 2 on the route. Large Jewish community in Manchester and Leeds should benefit, although I know some still prefer to use LY for security.
From personal experience, having flown Jet2 to TLV many times, I would prefer the EZY offering. They seem to have a slightly better understanding of general customer service and (going by the LTN-TLV route) a better understanding of their Jewish customers (who are just as varied and awkward as non-Jewish customers - if not more so).
Simple things like having kosher sandwiches available to buy, boarding with enough time to depart the airport on time and having modern planes that do not 'go tech' with regularity.
The timings of the flights will be interesting. The Jet2 leaves at 10:00 so arrives into Israel in time for the home time rush hour. EZY leaves LTN at 12:00 so arrives later with an easier journey from airport to hotel or apartment. Many passengers have frequently used holiday homes or children in Israel, so ease of travel once out of the airport is important to those who know their way around.
