When did a Jet2 base look likely?
BOH stood out as the company first started at BOH and had some head office facilities until around 2005/2006. It also makes the most operational sense as they can't realistcally enter BRS/SOU and LGW, but can still capture a significant chunk of the southern market.
It would then only leave a couple extras in the likes of BRS/CWL/EXT/NQY and they'd have the whole country covered in some form
I’m really not sure Jet2 have ever looked at a passenger base at BOH. I could be wrong, and I’m certainly not privy to such information, but it just doesn’t seem to be somewhere that would be on their radar. Growth with Jet2 will most likely be centred upon maximising their new bases, and trying to acquire even more slots at their destination airports. Possibly even opening more crew bases at their busier destinations with ‘brexit’ in the near future. The only source for this BOH rumour that I can find is an article including an interview with their former commercial director which was taken widely out of context.

It’s no secret that Jet2 were targeted big time by Rigby. takes two to tango however.
regarding Ryanair S19 I would be very surprised if Ryanair doesn’t sell PFO
By the way: Southampton city centre to Bournemouth took me 51minutes with traffic today but only 1hour 9mins to Heathrow a few days ago! If BOH has any hope of attracting the Southampton and Portsmouth catchment they urgently need to address the infrastructure and road networks.

Thats brilliant news and a welcome return of that particular destination , albeit that it stopped in 2008 when Thomsonfly 737 300 last operated the service
Its a Prague based aircraft that will operate the route .
Still a gap on Saturday morning so hopefully the Paphos service will slot in to that , summer 2019 shaping up nicely now

Great news to see some city destinations, if the yields work then fingers crossed for some German routes and maybe Sweden!
Great to see BoMo quietly rebuilding routes despite not having a fanfared masterplan launch - it’s real routes and bookable now that matter, fingers crossed Paphos is added shortly! The adiditional winter Alicante flight (making 3 weekly) came alive quietly after being unbookable for a while, excellent value seats to grab, not sure word is out that they are life! £70 returns atm, I just bought one! Great city break if you haven’t been and Tram let’s you explore all the way up
to Altea and Calpe in a day trip!

Excellent news. Just booked. Hopefully Brexit won't muck everything up as there is some nice growth going on at BOH now. Over the next couple of weeks perhaps more FR routes will be released for BOH.

MARKEYD can you confirm if the TUI flights to Corfu are being operated by a 757 next year?
Also when will the carrier be confirmed for Antalya and Dalaman, it still says 'TBA'

Have a look at LGW or say BHX/MAN - CFU flights on the same day and see if that seems obvious.
Or it may position into BOH from say LGW but that is a costly business to do those empty flights.
Turkey flights may well be given to Freebird to operate for them again as per this year, and increasingly from the outstations...

It will be a 757 from one of the 757 bases...I think BRS lose theirs for S19 so LGW or MAN?
BTW how do you check the seat plan before you book? Or have you booked already?
Cheers

I didn't see the plan but it was prompting me to opt for extra 2'' legroom seats (which they have on the 757 and not the 737) and also extra space seats which don't get prompted on the 738 services. It is also the only in-bound turn with 1hour 15mins on the ground which they allocate to larger aircraft. All the 737 and 320 flights have turns of 60 mins.

The aircraft will be CWL based and I'd be very surprised if they based 757 at CWL so it should be a 737.

Sorry to disappoint but its a 737 based at CWL as previously discussed
TUI do indeed have 9 extra legroom seats which are 2 " more on their 737 aircraft rows 2 / 3 / 4 DEF
The 1 hr 15 min turnaround is to allow for a longer crew change from another base
