I've just searched for CAX/DUB/CAX on fly dot com for July and the flights come up loud and clear.
Well discovered Harry, but how many old biddies know about fly.com?
My point was that the two airports' websites should both be actively advertising the new routes, and informing people how to book their tickets.
I think I'll go down to the Pygmalion today and bang my head again the Guinness blackboard!

How many old biddies know about Sky Scanner?

So all the people to travel in/out of CAX are old biddies? ... Just how many 'wheelchair assists' can the relevant airports cope with?

P.S. And you should know better tophat that you are not permitted to post commercial URL's here!

I’ll think you will find at least 70% of passengers will be aged between 16 & 50 with the current destinations on offer you will be seeing DUB & SEN stag/hen and day trippers and if things move on to European destinations AMS ALC PRG & PMI any of these would do well with that age group they all fly via GLA MAN NCL as it is anyway.

I have said it before, hardly anyone books a flight from an airports website or ever visits an airports website.

I book quite a number of flights, I booked 2 flights only this morning, generally I google for the airport wiki page to establish which airlines fly which routes from that airport and wiki is around 95% accurate.

Of course how many old biddies are likely to even have internet access mever mind knowledge of things such as dot coms, they're more likely to go to their local travel agent or airport to book their flights.

That's good if the travel agent, or indeed the airport, actually knows of any new routes. I still don't understand why Carlisle is not yet listed on the LSA website. Time for another slurp.

I'm of a somewhat fortunate position where I bought my website building software nigh on 10 years ago for less than 20 quid and were LSA my website I could satisfy you with change(s) in a matter of moments.

Alas many corporate organisations sub-contract such things, every change might cost money and whilst they may notify the sub-contractor to make change(s) these may well join a queue.

I really don’t know why people get so worries about the sen website. Other than us observers and people flying and looking for info on the day of their flights most folk don’t look at an airports website when choosing where they wish to go.

I see that Carlisle is now on the SEN Destinations webpage along with Malta, Catania and Cagliari. No mention of Chateauroux yet though......

No intention to bid statement
Stobart Group Limited ("Stobart Group") announces that it is not intending to make an offer for Flybe Group plc ("Flybe")

Further to the announcement made by Stobart Group on 22nd February 2018, Stobart Group and Flybe have been unable to reach agreement on satisfactory terms. The Board of Stobart Group has determined that it is not in its shareholders' best interests to increase its latest proposal for Flybe above the level which was rejected by the Board of Flybe. Given this, Stobart Group confirms that it does not intend to make an offer for Flybe.
Stobart Group and Flybe enjoy a range of shared interests as well as a growing franchise arrangement between the two groups' airlines and it is Stobart Group's intention to continue the collaborative working relationship between both companies.

I'm sure that's correct from Stobart's point of view. How do Flybe feel about their franchisee right now..........?

That they aren't rivals and as a franchise partner can keep them in check.
