sun routes

Only responding to the limited level of taste of the average Joe and his family in NI. And tried and tested destinations a tour operator knows work in a tough and limited market. It might seem limited but it works and makes them money sadly. The most exotic BFS gets is SSH

Virgin Atlantic

Has Virgin Holidays released their S/S 16 program yet? Will we see them back year?

From what I remember last few years Thomas Cook has had monopoly on Orlando market and only flew 2 or 3 flights, yet this year when Virgin arrive they double their program. Let's hope this competition doesn't water the market and produce disappointing numbers for Virgin

VS at BFS

Was speaking to VS Customer Services last night, and casually chatting to the operator about BFS flights. They commented that the BFS operation is a typical "toe in the water" and that it has sold very well. So I think we can expect it to continue...I'm not anticipating year round, but perhaps the season will stretch to something similar to Glasgow? And wouldn't be surprised if they try a few Las Vegas rotations.

Maybe Jet2 gearing up to re-launch LBA again now that they are growing strongly from BFS???

Think this is a distinct possibility but I'd heard EMA likely to launch as a BFS domestic for them before LBA.
