You can park for a week at Gatwick at the end of June for that!

They are £30 for a week, I have just booked. They should see a nice increase in business.

Yes did see it was £30 last week.....left the booking until last night and it had increased to £40 - seems the 25% off promotion had finished over the weekend...That will teach me to put it off !

Must be the only airport in the country that doesn't seem to be able to sustain a simple bus service. This new route is good for employees (who leave the office damn early at 17:24) but is totally useless and pointless for passengers. I haven't really understood why the bus doesn't do Poole>Station>Hospital>CastlePoint>Ferndown>Airport>Christch urch and back again as a loop which would be self-sustaining in terms of non-pax use.

It is an extortionate charge levied by the Airport operator in an attempt to raise some revenue lost by having to comply with its deal with RYR.

Surely it would make more sense to give a completely FREE deal to Ryanair to allow them to provide a million pax rather than the paltry half million they are doing now and then the car-park revenue will increase automatically without any fee increases

Your going to have to give us a little bit more information than that , as much as I want that to be true , it has been mooted about before a few times

If its true though , then it will be a game changer for Bournemouth , that s for sure !!

Jet2 holidays and some new IT destinations would certainly be good news. TUI have had a monoply for too long and have been happy to just sit on fat routes with high load factors and take a significantly higher fare than the same holiday from other regional airports.

In view of the Jet2 announcement today that there will be no new bases in the UK for 2019,what news do you have on BOH jet 2 flights in the future?

Bit to keen , and jumping the gun to be making comments like that on numerous threads in the first place with no credible source it would seem

To be fair to the poster but would Jet2 announce a new base via a site like TTG and he said Jet2 are releasing flights imminently so that could imply non based flights or possibly a charter for someone else.
