Wonderful Easyjet schedule to Lgw in the summer. A 10 hour gap in the flights during the day. Sometimes I wonder if airlines try to destroy routes.

Or another carrier to compete with. I hate the way EZY's schedule works like that, BHX is the same, and no Sat flight in summer - this is where BE make their money.

NCE 2x weekly next summer.

BHD-LGW scheduled in throughout next summer. I doubt it somehow. It's IAG who need to surrender slots, I don't believe they have to surrender anything particularly, its the new operator that has to offer BHD/DUB.

Have to say, having looked at a few routes out of Bfs, the Easyjet flight times are anything but business friendly on a number of routes. Have to wonder what the people who put these together are thinking.

Business friendly?????

Actually the more I see of Ezy, the more I am convinced they need some real competition out of Bfs.

BHX

mart901

I think it is just a case that they know the route inside out now and that on a Saturday in summer they can make more money by sending the frame elsewhere.

However saying that I don't particularly understand the summer 16 BFS - BHX timings on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon the departure ex BHX at 17.50 is a little early unless of course they add an additional rotation at similar times to the third Thursday and Friday flight.

What a change with September - earlier this week five out of six consecutive inbounds on BFS-BHX were fully booked a good few days in advance although it was the Autumn fare at the NEC. Mind you no different next week EZY191 sold out Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday £309 one way.

Happy days for easy on BFS-BHX at least.

Thanks for taking up the point. Its a great service price wise I and various friends and family tend to use it over BE, despite it being further than BHD - I can watch the plane land in the distance at BHD from my house. I've someone coming on it tomorrow on a fully booked flight. I would prefer BE as its more comfortable and really fast on and off, EZY are really good though in my opinion for what they do, certainly much nicer experience than FR.

I'm sure it's safe to assume that they are talking about Virgins Summer Schedule.

perhaps not. Just something stuck in my head that they had extended to do 5 instead of 4. Might just have been a senior moment though.

Some good results from the CAA stats for August
Long may it continue
Wizzair good figures 3000 pax per route, surely they will look at some new routes soon

Wizzair sitting on about 93% load factor. Very pleased for BFS. Despite all the competition from DUB the airports still producing good results.
