Wikipedia- wot a hoot.
Anyone can add anything they like. Not the most reliable in my experience:bored:

Well in this case all the info seems to be spot on.

liverpool to newyork
 

does anybody know where flyglobespan are getting there 757 from for liverpool to new york next year

May not be a 757 but a 767 because they are flying a three-class configurated aircraft.

It's def going to be a 757, possibly wetlease Icelandair a/c at first and then proposed to operate 3 757's.

jetstream

is wetlease with there crew and flight deck

when are gsm getting there 75,s and where they coming from

please dont say excel, dont they have 3 there getting rid off...:*

My info is that as things stand, there is no requirement for B757's

MY information is that at least 1 B757 is coming. It will be two-class operating LPL-EWR-LPL and will be crewed by MAN B767 flight deck and cabin crew. The MAN based 767 will be operating MAN-CPT-MAN and will be the 2nd 'Big Boeing' to arrive due Sept/Oct 2006 with the B757 arriving Spring 2007 ready for the April launch of the EWR service.

Don't think it will be XLA's old machines as the 2 a/c destined to leave are only 104,326kg MTOM aircraft where as GSM will probably need 113,800kg machines as they maybe regularly going out at 79,500kg ZFW needing a full fuel load of 34,500kg to get to EWR with standard IFR reserves especially if the service is going to run year round with those notorious NY Area snowstorms.

:ok:

Liverpool/Newark
 

Why then are Globespan selling (and advertising the fact widely) seats in a three class configured aircraft (up until recently it was selling two classes only)?

They are also looking to fill vacancies at Liverpool with the line in the advert "All crew will be Manchester/Liverpool Dual Based operating on both B767 and B737 aircraft".

Just to confirm Liverpool to newyork is in three classes my relatives have booked business and premium economy in june next year .

So where ar ethey getting three class 757's from or could they be the existing 767 although jhon lennon airport states 757.:ugh:

Jethro reckons that they will not go ahead with the 757.

Also, people who have booked can select their seat, ask you relative to go into the Globespan website and look at the set-up of the seating to see if its a 767 or not.

pontious, thanks for reply

think this is going to be interesting to see what aircraft they use.

with 3 classes been advertised you would think 767

but there only getting 3

1 x gla/sfb daily
1 x cpt 3 weekly only fri spare in the summer
1 x gla/las 2x week gla/ bgi 1x weekly

so the third 767 wont have enough time to do a daily new york from lpl

if that makes sense...

diesel 36

Manchester to Cape Town is a winter only rout and finishes on 15th April 2007 So that would realease a '767

on there website under timetables it states cape town summer 07..

diesel 36

What it actually says is Summer Timetable (April 2007)

If you open the timetable you will see that the last Cape Town to Manchester flight operates on 15th April 2007.

There will be 3 B767s and 2 B757s:

1 B767 will operate GLA-SFB daily based GLA
1 B757 looks like its operating LPL-EWR daily based LPL
2 B767 completely free just now - will have to wait and see what S07 brings

1 B757 free - S07 destinations to be announced.

GSM are releasing S07 schedule at the moment, so it won;t be long till we find out what these planes will be used for.

longhaul
 

I would have thought that stansted would get something
as the only summer flight is chambery and you cant even book it
the talk was that stansted would get upto 2 daily newyork flights
from GSM does anyone have any info ?

How financially "secure" are flyglobespan? The flights compared to other Loco airlines are priced at very low prices. Does this mean low bookings or genuine low fares. Especially last minute bookings. Tried to book for STN-ATH flying tomorrow for 1 week duration - £67 inc taxes!

av8767
 

av8767 not that cheap !
I hope you booked it as i have just looked at same route
flying tomorrow for 1 week and the price is £214 inc tax

Got to be kidding! Most of the time GSM are so expensive that I rule them out as an option altogether if I'm looking for flights to a destination they serve... I can only really comment on the prices from EDI and GLA but maybe that's down to their popularity here.
However, I get £214 for the flights you mention too, not only that but ATH-STN appears to be sold out until 5th September, I wouldn't call that low bookings or low fares!
