Yes the publicity by RJ has been absolutely on point.
3 months in advance and across numerous platforms.
My point was about MAGs publicity surrounding the route not RJ.

Two cities 30 miles apart is pretty incredible in the annual TimeOut survey of world cities
But maybe there is a singular failure to capitalise in terms of passenger's using both airports ?

Academic with a diversion but interesting nonetheless.
...and it was westbound.

How heavily loaded out of LUX would it have to be to require a top up at PIK on a flight to West Coast USA? Unless it couldn't uplift required trip fuel at LUX for some reason, or was needing to offload cargo in the UK anyway.
Hardly anybody will be doing connections between T3 & T2. T3 will be Ryanair and they don't connect with anybody - including themselves. More or less everybody arriving at T3 will need to go through immigration / baggage collection / transfer to T2 / re-check baggage / re-clear security.
You may get the odd person that is hand baggage only wanting to transfer from Ryanair to another airline on separate tickets, but they will be few and far between.

Ryanair’s demands seem to be constraining connectivity and an outcome of that is a passenger can only book what’s visible in a GDS and that limits their ability to connect at MAN.
Look, Ryanair may not want to offer the connection, but that doesn’t mean a passenger wouldn’t want to use it.
It seems to me there is little the airport can do about O&D, the traffic is either there or it isn’t.
A big problem here is that a huge amount of connectivity is available that just isn’t advertised.
Is there anything the airport can do to encourage a GDS to offer the self connect?
Can they do anything else?
If the airport could both provide the connectivity more conveniently, and advertise it, then it wouldn’t matter nearly so much what Ryanair will pay for.

A private terminal at Manchester Airport closed and mothballed since the coronavirus pandemic is poised to open again in the summer, the Manchester Evening News understands. The 'PremiAir' terminal - which offers added luxury to passengers on participating airlines - opened in January, 2020, but was forced to close months later due to the onset of Covid. The Manchester Evening News understands a date in early September has been penciled in for the re-opening, with tickets likely to go on sale months in advance of the planned date.

MAN has a huge network.

There must be other airports in a similar position.
It can’t be beyond the whit of man to pull together a consortium and spend a few million each on creating and promoting such a service.
Or can it?
