I have a couple of Britannia Airways Britannia one's in my possession plus British Eagle Britannia, and Dan Air Comet & 727.

i remember the map being passed around the cabin on a dan air 737 in 1986 and then in 1987 being amazed that Britannia 737’s had these little machines fixed to the cabin roof showing height, speed and flight time.

even the route map in the Tui magazine has been shrunk so much that I couldn’t even point out to the kids the large Greek island that we were flying to!

I can’t help thinking though when flying Tui it’s so sad that the two best holiday airlines (by and amm) have been condensed into a copy of Jet2. Some may say had to be done to cut costs etc to compete but Tui and even jet2 holidays aren’t cheap and their profit figures are quite impressive so a moving map (or decent printed map) is a nice little extra!

Can anyone help me, I have a friend about to book with TUI from MAN-ACE
19th March - 26 March flight 2250/51.
They asked me to find the aircraft type as during the booking process it is not shown.
I have looked on the likes of skyscanner etc, all other airlines list the aircraft type but not TUI.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Anyone know what’s happening with BY1386/7 EDI-LCA-EDI. Was meant to operate yesterday but cancelled (presumably due to weather and the fact that the aircraft diverted to NCL on the earlier PUY-EDI). The aircraft did position back up to EDI fairly soon after though so crew may have been out of hours? Is this flight going to happen at all this week?

[CabinCrewe]

I would doubt it. They dont often reschedule a formally cancelled flight to later that week, the logistics would be a nightmare.
Cancel, rebook, alternatives or refund.

Daz,
According to flightmapper.net, this is currently operated by a 738 aircraft. This schedule may be altered given we are still 6 months away.

G-OOBG is now on its way, over 24 hours late. Will probably end up sitting there over night.

Thank you Chillip and welcome to the forum.

TUI have also used a B787-9 this year on the MAN-ACE route.

Both legs scheduled as a 757-200, but as others have said it's always subject to change.

Rmours abounding about a second aircraft is earmarked for the BOH base. Some saying it could be a 787. Any weight to this rumour?

[MARKEYD]

TUI have slowly built up the BOH base with next summer seeing at least 3 extra flights using 3rd party carriers and a W pattern from Cardiff

I think its always been on the cards for a while that a 2nd aircraft 737 800 possibly could do a small amount of extra work in the summer and share it with Cardiff or Bristol

Regarding the 787 I doubt it , Bournemouth does incredibly well with its fly cruises to Barbados with P&O and Hays travel and regularly go out full , but they have a good year or so sell those seats . This year there are about 5 flights over the season

Who knows , would be great to be proved wrong !!

There might be some moving around next summer. Reports suggest that BRS will lose its two 757s next summer as the type is gradually retired from the fleet, with two 738s as replacements which would leave it with four 738s (in addition, the part 'based' 788 will be at the airport five days each week next summer with six rotations two of which will be short haul). That would leave BRS down on seat availability so there might be some mileage in the suggestion that a further 738 might be used around BOH, BRS and possibly CWL, although the latter is expanding next summer anyway with a third based 738.

Can anyone confirm if CFU-BOH-CFU next summer is operated by a 757?

It's operated by a Cardiff based 737.

G-OBYF

Positioned in to St Athan on Monday.
Is this off lease or for maintenance?
That leaves YH as the only MAN based B767 i think as the other two are still flying the Scandinavian routes.

Probably to configure it for winter.
