so is this why they secured slots for MAN - BOH? or is this still to be announced?

Quote [London Gatwick is Jet2.com’s tenth destination from Manchester. For fares, timetables or bookings on its routes to Budapest, Faro, Geneva, Malaga, Murcia, Nice, Pisa, Valencia and Venice, click on www.jet2.com or call 0871 226 1737.}

Think someone should tell them that this will be there 11th destination, they seem to be missing Alicante from the above press release.

It is great news and one in the eye for BA who I bet are fuming as their earlyLGW is quite a money spinner for them!

I am however, rather sceptical about pax using Jet2 to connect on to long hauls from LGW. Locos are notoriously unhelpful if the plane is late, and if you are due to connect on to a long haul or any other flight from LGW, I would give yourself a minimum of 5 hours and just hope that the plane from MAN isnt late!!

Any more routes to be announced do we know?

Question....

How the heck did Jet2 get peak time slots at both Manchester & Gatwick - both for winter and summer, before the Slot Conference?

Now let's wait until after the Slot Co-ordination meeting this weekend in (I believe Boston) for the rest of next summers news!

gayrugbybloke 16th Nov 2004 22:13

No!! Let's speculate like mad!!!

eggc 16th Nov 2004 22:29

lol gaybloke...it's part of the fun

I want to throw a new name in to the hat that I am told is one to watch.....Bangladesh Biman.

Scottie Dog 17th Nov 2004 14:21

Oh No...not Bangladesh again!!!!

Have they not been rumoured for almost more years than I can remember? Well, maybe it will come true?

loveJet 17th Nov 2004 14:48

Does this mean BOH is still on the cards or not?

Didnt they apply for 3 man-boh slots, and 3 lba-lgw slots with the full intention of only operating MAN-LGW!?

I'm mad!

Isnt there going to be a Manchester - Bournemouth Mail flight in the new year with a jet2 737

eggc 17th Nov 2004 15:07

Personally - i think the MAN-BOH & LBA - LGW applications were back door into MAN - LGW slots and neither of the original two
applications will materialise or were ever going too !!!

Could be wrong but it smells like it to me....

How well are the QR flights doing now?

Speedbird777heavy 18th Nov 2004 12:54

Or howabout the loads on RB......

gayrugbybloke 18th Nov 2004 19:40

RB seem to be doing pretty well, with a large amount of transit traffic using the service.

What announcement is due tomorrow?

gayrugbybloke 19th Nov 2004 13:50

are we sure it isn't Ryanair who are to announce expansion from Manchester, rather than EZY today?

ManofMan 19th Nov 2004 13:54

Gaybloke,
Thats a strange statement to make !!!!, care to tell us what you have heard, or are we on the old red herring trail again here.
