Newcastle-10
A comment......I spoke to a NCL couple on a cruise last week and asked them how they travelled to BCN to join the ship. Answer...."with no way of getting there direct from NCL we had to drive to LBA to get a direct flight...only an hour and half drive".....did you know that Ryanair flew from NCL direct.?..."NO...do they...wasn't in any of the information I looked at ?"
A little example of 'airport drift' and passengers lack of information on their local airport and what routes it serves.

LY-CHF seems to have been parked up since operating an inbound charter from Paris last week. Assuming it’s tech given another Klasjet positioned into operate the return after the game last week?

It was Cunard who use BA and would have routed them via LHR. They were 'cruise only' passengers who wanted a few days in BCN before joining the ship. The wife told me that she did all of the flight bookings herself.
I see St.James has been chosen to host Some games for Euro 2028..
Do you think the airport will extend available apron parking?…no development for 20 years..wonder if the government will provide funds to expand! 😀😀😀 ?

Good to see! To be honest I’m surprised it isn’t BCN x4 and BGY x3 but I think it’s an absolute given that there’s much more to give on NCL-BCN so all but guaranteed growth there, and if BGY has performed strongly enough to justify 4 weekly, and holds it up. Then brilliant!!
Third aircraft would be fantastic, let’s see. I hope Ryanair are looking at onboard spend because Geordies spend onboard like nobody else.
I wonder if Riga will come back, fares were always quite low from what I saw and it is a long-ish route. Fingers crossed, it’s nice to have a bit diversity.
A return of Madrid, Warsaw and Cork would be top of my wish list if we are in for any new routes. Closely followed by a couple of either Rome, Venice, Budapest, Pisa, Berlin, Hamburg, Brussels or Valencia. A bit of competition on a Greek island or two, maybe Corfu or Rhodes, wouldn’t go amiss either.
Ryanair have potential at NCL, and they will make money. We just have to convince them to stay, because as we know, there is always *more* money elsewhere. But there is still money to be made out of NCL.
I would really like to see NCL-STN come back as well

Totally agree about Bergamo, a much nicer place to stay than Milan and also very easy (and closer than Milan) for day trips to Verona and Venice
Milan itself in my opinion only needs half a day for the main sights but is a good base to explore Lake Como and Maggiore

useful tips guys - but I still can’t see the flights 🤯

I should add that it was my first experience of Ryan Air and they were excellent.
And by Bergamo I, and probably GayFriendly, mean the higher part called Citta Alta.
But train journeys to Verona and Venice look quite long, but that's probably getting away from the NCL forum objectives.
