Vueling
Vueling seem to be going through a period of massive growth in the UK. With new routes opening up at LGW and soon to start operations from LTN, they seem to have decided to put some serious focus into the UK.
Makes me wonder what and where next from them from LGW, LTN and elsewhere in the UK?

They operated a series of LPL/BCN flights over the xmas period and are scheduled to start LPL/BCN x3 weekly from March. Must feel fairly confident about this as they are up against both EZ (X12 pw) & FR (x7 pw) on this route.

Vueling will open a new route between LBA and BCN operating 2x weekly (MON & FRI) from March 25th. They will be up against 4x weekly EXS & 3x weekly MON.

Very poorly marketed in Belfast probably didn't help route being pulled. Sad to see it go. Doubt it will be back in Belfast. DUB probably didn't help as they have no APD

I think they should have another go at Southampton - when they first tried the economy was awful and there was no promotion for the route to Barcelona. If it works from CWL it can work from SOU, and with the way Flybe piss around with routes every 5 minutes customers will be more than happy for a change.

I know you cannot get the advertised lead in fares that the airlines publish, but Vueling were advertising fares from £46.99 and Easyjet from £23.99.
Maybe the GB market may be different with greater population

Correct, Northern Ireland is part of the "United Kingdom" but not part of "Great Britain" - the latter only being England, Scotland and Wales.
Hence "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"
Normally a useful one for the Pub Quiz.

I'm seriously concerned that BA LHR shorthaul operation will be transfered to Vueling in the future.
IAG latest presentations clearly states all the shorthaul aircraft in the 4 airlines (BA, Aer Lingus, Vueling, Iberia) will all be configured the same by 2020....e.g. 186seats on A320. Having the flex save spec cabin meaning the rear gallery will be half the current size...making it impossible to offer the current level of service due to space restrictions.
With the significant increase in flights to the UK Vueling are increasing the brand awareness across the uk..... and Alex Cruz (current head of Vueling) is taking over at BA in April.
I worry the direction the company is heading in.
