I dont think they will enter into a booking engine with another company , Bath Travel are completely on there own with no ties to any other company , they tried years ago to share a charter with another company aircraft i think it was Monarch 757 aircraft to Tenerife and half the cabin had Palmair head covers and a different service all very awkward
I can see where your going on this as it makes sense to get as many seat s as possible on board but there aint no way Palmair would do this
They are however finally entering into the Website era this summer by launching " FLYPALMAIR " .CO .UK , which is a seat only sale to fill some of there seats
They are actually doing quite well with bookings this summer so far with quite a few already sold out , but have cut back on a few services though
Believe the aircraft to be a 737 300 and it will just have Palmair markings on the front as in previous years , bit bland but hey .....

Not technically true....the current Jet2-operated flights are being marketed as seat only also by Teleticket Travel, as has been reported within the travel trade press. Whether this will continue with the launch of their own online booking engine remains to be seen though.

Spoken directly to Palmair flight operations plus have friends / crew who are involved with this and they are being assured it will be Viking throughout the summer operation and the crew have been trained up and ready to switch over from Jet 2 to Viking ....
Remains to be seen i guess but all will be revealed soon i hope

will flight deck crew be based in BOH or will they be stationed at LGW and ferried? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but never know what commitments they might have at LGW. I think they also have a based unit there.

Going back to Jet2, I'm sure if the hours per month worked for this type of aircraft they would be doing it - the simple fact is the hours per month dont stack up for a profit making and well run airline like Jet2.
Hence the other names being banded around, perhaps one flight a day works for them !

MARKEYD I am afraid your friends have given you wrong info.
TITAN are my favourites as they have a QCB733 based there that ops PO flying overnight. TITAN would make sense as Palmair programme is low hour utilisation so difficult to make work for a sensible seat rate.

Hmm, the usually reliably informed Rainboe, mentioned a B737-500, G-STRF/H are both B737-700 and, i would imagine, pretty maxed out on the Iceland express routes... looks like an addidtion to the fleet...?

Markeyd,
I have spoken to 2 directors at Titan and there isnt any money in it for them and they have a based B737 QC aircraft in BOH.
Therefore anyone else would have to position in and out of BOH (costly) or base an old type of airframe with no finance comitments on it..DC9, 737-200 etc or it could be an Icelandic group with lots of money behind it ???
Whatever happens it's going to be an interesting summer for the Palmair girls !

the palmair GIRLS!?
may i remind you this is PALMAIR operating from BOURNEMOUTH.
The GIRLS as you so loving call them are, in actual fact, all over the age of 50 aren't they???
Now if Bournemouth was more like Las Vegas, we're talking...
