Easyjet.
Thanks LAX_LHR.
Can't find any notes for this last winter but as you would expect some frequencies are down from summer. Bilbao and Vienna for example only 2 x weekly for part of the time and Basle 3 x weekly.
Other changes are Geneva which goes from 10 x weekly in November to 16 in January with 4 flights on Saturday.
On CPH, I only found 8 x weekly for some dates in Jan, but 10 weekly in November.
Good to see KEF daily in January and Berlin at 9 x weekly.
The high frequencies are AMS and BFS but not sure how these compare with winter 15/16.

Hi MANFOD.
I searched various dates in Nov/Dec/Jan, and I was definitely getting CPH at 12 weekly, like I say, it was 2 daily barring Thu/Sat which were 1 daily.
Basel does indeed have a couple of weeks at 3 weekly, but does seem to remain daily on the whole.
Keflavik should be interesting. It will be 16 weekly this winter with daily flights from Icelandair and Easyjet as well as 2 weekly Thomson. Can the route sustain that much capacity? I'm not 100% sure.

The coach deposited off at the furthest point possible by were the American Flights normally park and we then had to walk the full length of Terminal 3 to get to passport control.
What a nightmare

This applies to CDG and Milan as well. CDG seems to be 9 x weekly and Milan 4 or 5 x weekly, which should also be a useful boost for the winter.
Gibraltar is new for the winter

I'm getting a daily Milan for various dates over winter.
In other news, seems it's been made public now so the new Thomson Caribbean route I posted a few pages back is Santa Clara. Will be 1 weekly every Tuesday.
It's a Cuban destination, and, will be the only route from the UK. I'm pretty sure Thomas Cook used to serve it though, so, not a 'new' route in the traditional sense

I don' t mind the walk 750XL, but when there are closer options and you are already delayed it does not help matters.
They should have used the quickest and shortest option.

Ametyst,
You are clearly annoyed, and, as a passenger I suppose you have every right to be.
But, I highly doubt that MAN/BE would have inconvenienced you for the sheer sake of it.
I get the impression you arrived late evening. Is it not a consideration that the aircraft you arrived on could have then theoretically finished its duties for the day, and thus the stands at MAN may have been empty upon your arrival, but, needed shortly after you passed through? The aircraft you were on may have been towed off a T3 stand anyway after disembarking, so, with the late running, meant that the original plan could not have been adhered to?
Also, were some of those gates you drove past domestic gates? They again would have been required for a specific flight just after you passed through?
I know it seems like excuses, and, could you have been informed better about the reasons behind the bussing? Yes, they could have done.
However, like I have said, I'm pretty sure someone up in the control room didn't just have a sadistic moment and thought 'I wonder how far we could push these passengers towards the edge', but, there were probably a myriad of decisions taking place behind the scenes which forced the outcome of that night.

Unless you know otherwise, you may well have used the quickest and shortest option.

Gate 56 is the intl departure/arrival bussing gate at MAN simply due to the fact the door leads straight onto the road, where the busses park. It's logistically the easiest gate for coaching operations.
Just in the same way that gate 20 is the bussing lounge in T1, and gate 300 in T2.

Stopped in Cayo Santa Maria, described in the brochure as a 'biosphere reserve' which was seemingly a posh term for a swamp, the clouds of mosquitos had to be seen to be believed.
Old military base so there was the interest of some old Mig (15's?) at the far side of the runway from the (very small) terminal.

Hi LAX,
I accepted the flight delay and remote parking. It was waiting 50 minutes waiting for the coach that really annoyed me and compounded the situation. I accept remote parking but, please, they should have the coaches ready and waiting.
There were three domestic gates free and four of the International gates free. We landed at about 22:35.
Anyway, another one to put down to experience, lol

Is there any gaps in the easyJet schedule that could warrant new destinations in W16/S17 or increase frequency? Or are the aircraft all maxed out and they would need to add another based aircraft.
Also the 2 weekly Vienna service is still very low frequency considering both Austrian & Jet2 are operating the route. easyJet's Luton route to Vienna has increased from 2 to 4 weekly already. Does this answer my previous question of all aircraft being maxed out?

Air China showing how late they get a new route up & going!
credit Airline Route
So there's hope yet that PVG will appear on our boards!!
Air China starting next month will begin long-haul operation from Southern China, as the Star Alliance member plans 3 weekly Shenzhen – Frankfurt operation, on board Airbus A330-200 aircraft. Reservation for this route opened on Friday morning, and the first flight is scheduled on 20MAY16.

Does anybody understand how the FlyBe codeshares work Ex Manchester ?
They seem somewhat inconsistent!
by way of example this mornings Etihad and Emirates show connectivity to Edinburgh at 755am but not Aberdeen nor Belfast at 805 am.
Southampton at 810 shows an EY trip number but not the EK.
IoM an hour later shows EK but not EY.
The new Rotterdam sametime has no connections at all.
Plus none of the DL/VIR connections appear!
The whole schedule appears random and lacks consistency.

EasyJet announces 'shock' bid to snap up budget airline rival Monarch
Not sure if there's any truth in this but it makes sense and would be interesting if it happened? Would it have a huge affect on MAN?

I imagine if it were to happen the order would be cancelled. Also as you would assume the A321 is the next step for EZY, that it is a good way for them to test the A321 with the what would be ex MON machines before placing a what you again would assume would be a substantial A321 order, before phazing out the older MON frames, but keeping the newer ones
