Can't say Lenny Henry's favourite chain my hotel of choice for a holiday though!

They're there for people who can't be bothered or won't risk leaving the hotel.

Jet2 / TUI
Two new routes for next summer, Mytilene (x1 weekly) and Tivat (up to x2 weekly peak summer) plus a few increases on some other destinations. With Ryanair adding Seville and Valencia it’s nice to see some slightly obscure routes being added. With the addition of Mytilene it now leaves Mykonos as the glaring omission in the Greek network.
Elswehere TUI reintroduce La Romana for Winter 24/5 - x1 weekly from Christmas Eve.

Some of the increases next summer
Catania increases next summer from 25 May to 2 per week (We & Sa)
Kalamata inceeases next summer from 29 May to 2 per week (We & Su)
Thessalonki and Chania start at 2 per week rather than just high summer - the former from April
Split shows an increase to 3 per week this year from Thursday 3rd August and then next year from the end of May (Tu/Th/Su)
Paphos increases to 5 per week from May next year
Nice restarts from 11 March twice a week
Alicante - extra Tuesday from end of May
Almeria - increases from 23 May 24 to 3 per week (Tu/Th/Sa)
Reus - 3 to 4 weekly high summer 24
Krakow, Budapest & Prague next summer operate longer ending 15/7 restarting 6/9 same
Probably more increases but Jet2 don't like me checking their website for more than 15 minutes and I get access denied (not on the App) after about 20 or 30 searches which I believe will be to stop green-scrapers. Not great to deter people booking although they didn't lose my business because of that but despite offering 6 per week Corfu they don't offer Paxos so another company got my money. I suspect lack of accommodation is the problem on Paxos not Jet2's unwillingness to offer it but a great Greek choice in general.

It's possible that the extra frame is the one that is removed from Edinburgh around now, it comes back in September. We're coming to the end of the holiday period in Scotland.
Actually I've realised that 2 are transferred- there seem to be only 4 Jet2 flights out of EDI tomorrow morning.

Luxor was operated way back by Thomson I think using a 767. Maybe BHX will be added once they've trialled a season from MAN and LGW?
Am also surprised that Goa is not operated from BHX, along with Banjul

Don't understand. I was observing that Jet2 has removed 2 frames from EDI to cover the English peak holiday season; I don't know to which other Jet2 bases they are sent, but BHX is a possibility. The same has happened in previous years and the frames return at the start of September.

Aren't there 3 Fuel suppliers, Shell, Valero (Texaco) and World Fuel Services, surely it is quiet easy to get delivery from a different supplier? I assume a Aviation Fuel Tanker driver is quiet well paid so don't know where the Union are going with this, these are not minimum wage or zero hours guys.
Menzies could quiet easily close the fuel operation down if this is just from the on site storage facilities run by someone else to plane, but I am willing to be corrected.
The airport is saying contingency is in place anyhow.

The strike is on rejection of a 9% pay offer which has been improved to 11.5% so why not re-vote first, especially as negotiating is on going?
