Bad PR is only the customer reacting to what the company does wrong.

Oh I feel another PM message brewing !

Man is charged £9.00 to park for an hour whilst others are charged £28.00.

I don’t get it.

Is his complaint he isn’t being charged enough or that he feels he should pay zero? Or that they should have ignored the extra minute?

Terrible and typically poor journalism.

I’ve been dropping off and picking up a disabled passenger who is frequent traveller every 6 weeks for a few years. She uses special assistance to travel, It normally costs between £5-10 depending on how long I’m in the terminal. Never thought much more of it, it is what it is.

To my disgust, I picked her up from Belfast City Airport and when I met her with the Special assistance on arrival they asked for my parking ticket and validated it for free. I then found out that this is available at the International and nobody told me. I must have waisted hundreds of pounds in unnessary parking charges.

easyJet - Winter 2019/20

Normally around June/July time easyJet announce new routes for Winter 2019/2020 from their bases.
I know a few months ago they said there was no room left to expand.
But now that Ryanair has gone from two aircraft to only one aircraft I wonder will easyJet want to expand again at BFS?
Has there been any talks of any new routes from BFS?

Wizz Air - Winter 2019/2020

Wizz Air have changed their schedules for Winter 2019/2020 from Thursday & Sunday flights to Wednesday & Sunday flights.

Times change from Evening flights to Morning flights, flights arrive 07:45 and departs 08:15 now.

They also have a flight on sale for Christmas Day this year. Not sure if that one will go ahead as i'm sure the airport is closed!

I found airport use terms and conditions for 2018 and they say that they plan to be closed but can accept flights on Christmas day if notified 2 months in advance and with extra fee of £10000. I have my doubts

BA never operated on Christmas Day.
Think BMI tried it one season but didn't repeat.

I was on shift the xmas eve before. It was one inbound only from LHR for all the overnight long haul connections into LHR. Nothing opened at airport just mandatory bodies and GHA staff on shift. If I recall it was one way only ex LHR.

As someone who is from Belfast, the idea that not enough is being done is laughable. Game of Thrones for goodness sake. Titanic! The travel apps for NI are amazing.

Blame APD but the tourist board is going above and beyond their duty!

Maybe just maybe theres not enough business for a five to seven day daily flight.
