Well, confirms what we had seen rumoured anyway.

So, yet another long haul business route lost, lets hope LGW can pull something out of the bag!

Silly Question

Re your Question

Ask Thos Cook or Who ever you booked the flight with they will know

Is SIZE Important ?? They all go the same speed and take the same time +/- 5 mins

Why such a vile response to a question from someone wondering what aircraft type their friends are travelling on??

(It's a B757-200 by the way)

learejet50, for a person who says that they are are 61 years old, that was a totally unnecessary reply. For all you know that person might just be a little excited about the upcoming flight.

May I suggest a quick apology.

Hi Travelleader,

Etihad are actually 10 weekly from Aug 1st, and said that they will be double daily 'by year end'.

This was announced back in January, unless you have seen another source to say Double daily on Aug 1st?

Hi Wanna-be-there

Yes that was indeed their plan, but I think that recent QR announcement has made a change of plan happen in AUH.

Had presentation from EY themselves today and the announcement was only given to the staff this morning

Manchester figures always come out 2 or 3 days into the next month.

They tend to be slight underestimates compared to the CAA.

Ryanair Barcelona?

Hi Guys,

Another long time reader new poster. I was hoping to draw on your knowledge as to whether the following could be a possibility.

I travel a lot for business, usually between our offices in Manchester, Amsterdam and Barcelona. Manchester to Amsterdam and Amsterdam to Barcelona are always fine, but the weak link for me has always been Manchester to Barcelona.

I was wondering what you think the possibility of Ryanair launching the route anytime soon is. Reason I ask is the only direct flight at the moment is with Monarch which usually has relatively high fares, and for 6 months of the year only 3days a week. I know that with the dispute with Girona they have reduced frequency from Liverpool, and when Ryanair used to have a larger presence at Manchester they also flew to Girona.

Maybe it is just my wishful thinking, but surely MAN-BCN fits in with their move towards flying from/to major airports, and they could easily undercut Monarch on the route.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Not at the moment, as I say the details were only sent to EY in MAN today seems will be an AM and PM departure every day to guarantee daily connection to all EY destinations. They realise that the lack of daily connections damages their saleability to the corporate market despite the fabulous product.

Hi Ringwayman, thanks for your response. I just looked myself and yes for the summer months it is daily (as I said 6 months of the year) but throughout winter it goes down to just 4x weekly from November and from December is just Monday, Friday and Sun which whilst great for the weekend traveller, is no use to me if I only need to spend a couple of working days there. I appreciate that this is mainly a leisure route but my question really was whether Ryanair could come onto the route.

I know Jet2 and BMIbaby have tried it in the past, and Easyjet wouldn't touch it with them flying the route from Liverpool. Ryanair though have talked about expanding Spanish routes from Manchester and I just wondered what people's opinion is as to whether this could possibly be a future route, particularly after the reuctions at Girona.
