Just booking our summer holidays in Turkey at the moment. Now we miss the Fr flights to Lgw due to the poor timings by Ezy. On a Saturday, first arrival into Lgw at 13.50. This is their biggest base, they offer this connection service and useless times. Friday not much better, first arrival into Lgw 07.40, next arrival 17.50. Dates 31st Aug and 1st Sept.

There has been an increase in domestic flights for summer 18, GLA,BHX, EDI etc
As reported in Irish News probably Venice as well. Still think Pula or Zadar likely as well

Slots have now all been confirmed so this will be why. Initially they apply for slots at certain times and then get given another time.

Turkey is brilliant. Can you not use one of the flights from BFS?

Bodrum is best followed by Izmir for us. Dalaman is over 4 hours by road, Antalya is the otherside of the country. Our best bet was via Gatwick, now that is more difficult due poor Ezy times. Also a lot cheaper from mainland than here and it isn't all down to the extra distance. Lack of competition a big factor.

Fair enough. TCX do connections using BE if you book through Thomas Cook Airlines website, BHX, MAN or maybe one of the Scottish airports might work and no worries about baggage etc

Current entry on website - arrivals

EDINBURGH EZY484 14:15 ON TIME 15:11

Since when was a flight running 56 minutes late "on time". Airports, airlines etc refer you to their site for information and this is what you get. Is the person you did this stupid, lazy, no interest, all of these? We are almost into 2018 and yet this type of lazy information is still common. And then airports/airlines wonder why pax at times go mad. To me, it says we couldn't care less.

It appears to be the Meridiana Airlines flight, previously on sale for a Wednesday departure. This flight was shared with Thomson / Topflight, as per last year.
Whether it has just been moved to a Saturday, or to allow Tui to take full allocation, I'm not sure.

I presume you know where the updates come from?

Bear in mind also that the airport status pages are sneaky in that they list touchdown time for 'arrival' rather than brakes-on or doors-open time.

A320 G-EZPY EZY37QH / EZY484 touched-down at 15:11:54 per ADS-B.

Oddly enough passengers weren't able to disembark at that time. Listing 15:11 is therefore in contravention of ECJ ruling of September 2014:
The Court’s conclusion is that Articles 2, 5 and 7 of Regulation No 261/2004 must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘arrival time’, which is used to determine the length of the delay to which passengers on a flight have been subject, refers to the time at which at least one of the doors of the aircraft is opened, the assumption being that, at that moment, the passengers are permitted to leave the aircraft.

No it's not - you're comparing apples and oranges. Where does the judgement relate to what must be displayed on arrival and departure boards?

Plus in the case in question even if you add on the average taxi time of 5 minutes there is no claim under EU261
