Its a 767-300 doesnt it have 315 seats in two classes, Cattle class and slightly better cattle class

just arrived back from puerto plata on the 10th, 312 pax on board, and as for comfort pretty good for a britannia/thomson aircraft

Yes the flights from Doncater are on a premium configured aircraft (315 seats). Only G-OBYJ, G-OBYI, G-OBYD are premium all others are non-premium with 328 Y seats!

a DSA/LDE Thursday 29 June arr 09.00 dep 11.00,
does anybody have more info ? is it full ? etc.
This will be interesting !

Its a charter for the local Roman Catholics and is instead of using two A320's as they did last year, although apparently two A320's may be used on the return leg

Hi

The rumored Doncaster/Sheffield - Belfast City flights have been taken out off the on-line timetable on the flybe website. There are no longer showing.

Anyone know whats happening??? Will it Happen.

Yes it will happen, notice Belfast, Norwich, Exeter and Birmingham has dropped off the list totally.....

Looks like its being worked on!

Well on flybe homepage there is a flash that titles MORE NEW ROUTE this list's Belfast City to Doncaster!

The flybe Doncaster -> Belfast City route has now been uploaded onto their booking system!

Donacster has also appeared on the route map, and the offers promotion under Belfast City.

The only thing left is an official announcement!


Doncaster Sheffield's Official website has an article stating: First ever Domestic service and new airline from Doncaster.

747 at DSA TODAY
 

What a fantastic sight.
Is a shame that Thomsonfly dont use this aircraft.
All at DSA must be really pleased that all went so well
today.Lets hope we see 747s regularly.:)

Is there any reason why the Thomsonfly Flight from Faro (ETA 17:30 TOM3574) is diverting to Leeds this afternoon??

Currently this flight is showing on the LBA live arrivals due in at 17:30 along with are normal based B757 flight which is due in at 2105 as the TOM5634 from Palma.

LBIA, Thomsonfly have subbed in a Jet2 aircraft to operate the route. They managed to position it to DSA to fly the outbound as normal, however, Jet2 require the aircraft at LBA to operate an evening rotation, hence the return is to LBA with pax then coached to DSA.
I hope this is of some assistance.

thats excellent - perhaps they will choose LBA next time

Nice for DSA to have a slip up, especially with TOM :p

Have heard that TOM are facing delays with the delivery of one or two of their new 737-300s hence the sub-ins, can anyone confirm or deny this?

All I can say is thanks for all of the Flybe fog diversions we get from LBA, it must have done the trick.

Maybe Air Southwest will take note from their visits......

As an LBA follower/supporter I'd like to distance myself from RobT100's comments...no need for L vs D arguements. However [gary4444], I'm interested to know how many BEE flights have diverted to DSA from LBA? Have there really been many?...Honestly I don't know, give us a clue.

14 loop

There is every need for DSA vs Leeds comments. Admitted LBA aint exactly MAN but it should be. DSA is a threat to LBA (although you would hardly think so by the start they have made) and I will treat it as the enemy because of this.

Thank you

There is no need for any LBA vs. DSA comments unless you are insecure about something. Forget about DSA if the start its had hasn't affected your guardedness for LBA. But to say LBA should be like MAN is ludicrous and shows how in touch you are.

14 loop, there have been a good half dozen Flybe diverts due to fog, and two Air Southwests plus others.

Gary4444

A good half dozen? Please back your claim with stats? I know of none while I have been on shift:hmm:
