Lo-co timings
 

MAN777

As a good comparison the new Ryanair flight to Milan Bergamo arrives at 23.45hrs to we will see what the loads are like on that. Granted, Ryanair are more of a household name that Volareweb especially in the UK, so I expect it will be better supported.

I presume that will be a Bergamo based Ryanair aircraft on its last rotation of the day ? Midnight, an hours drive from Milan ! Dont think there will be any business users on that flight then. It will have to be cheap to attract the PAX that will put up with that inconvenience, the Volare web tickets were given away and still there were only 30 on board !

Ryanair has a lead over Volaweb already, Press coverage! all over the Evening News, BBC and ITV local news and of course it is all free as well

Arn't we expecting an EZY announcement today?

tommorow. 1st jan

I would have thought that the 1st of Jan would be a poor day for any announcement, arent people nursing hangovers, tucking into leftover turkey and watching crap tv repeats ? Why would anyone be taking notice of easyjet on this day ?

when are people most likely to think about holidays?

In between xmas and new year when you are rushed off of your feet trying to sort yourselves out whether it be returning gifts, planning parties, xmas sales etc? No.

New year, new resolution, new holiday. The week after new year is probably the most likely time people look for holidays (correct me if I'm wrong) as the festivities are over and the new year looks bleek without a jolly to look forward to. Step in EZY.

Big announcement, ITV, BBC etc. over next couple of days not to mention all the publicity they will be slapping around Manchester! Personally, I think their timing is perfect and if they are to launch in Feb which has been said then they need to get the seats on sale as soon as possible!

I'm seriously looking forward to tomorrow. What time are the flights announced? 6am? 8am? Planning on being one of the first to book flights (permitting my condition after midnight tonight! ;)!)

Hope everybody has an excellent new year tonight and hope to discuss the EZY routes tomorrow!

yep lol. my friend works in a travel agent and JAN is the busiest time of year to book holidays there even open longer than usual.ezy could not be better timing and good on them,it will bypass ryanair.

OK, I will have it, but it better be cheap ! or thats all I will be doing, "thinking" about a holiday !!:)

EZY Flights from Manchester
 

Is there going to be an announcemant tomorrow or is it just that the GB Airways flights will go on sale as Easyjet flights as from tomorrow.

Reading other posts I dont think we will hear of any additional flights, but please let me be wrong.

Gordon

The GB S08 MAN routes are on sale now on BA website, and will remain so until the aquisition of GB is complete at the end of Jan ?
Therefore, I take it that if seats are on sale tomorrow on EZYs website then either A) GB is theirs early and it is the GB routes or B) Its not GB routes yet, but a selection of other new routes. You decide...or better still wait till morning :ok:
Happy New Year :}

Saw a poster today EZY, MAN-TFS £44....
Presume it's a Gerbli a/c

ezy
 

I am afraid the routes for sale are only the GT routes .

Now showing on Website

TOM have reduced Venice from scheduled LoCo to a once weekly charter next summer

Going into the easyJet system you can also book flights to Innsbruck up to 13th April (Sundays only I Think) and Malaga daily from 1st May

TOM ex MAN
 

Yes TOM dipped their toe into lo co schedules at MAN last year, but have now well and truly retreated.
They have basicaly kept MAN flights as holiday charters, with spare seats filled up via the Thomsonfly web site.
I sampled one of these flights a few months ago, where the IFE was aimed exclusively at children & the pre paid expensive meals were abysmal.
Another missed oppurtunity to develop some much needed city flights, even if they are not daily. At least we know where we stand with TOM now.
TUI fly (HLX) seem to do a much better job & Air Berlin seem to have pretty good consistant loads.

EZY
 

Very much as most people were expecting only the old GT routes plus AGP.

Unfortunately even they haven't got off to a good start as nothing has been loaded properly on the website. Nothing showing for PFO and only outward flights for remainder. HER seems to be the only Destination where outward and return are showing.

I would have thought that EZY could have done a bit better than this and added a least a few destinations other than GT ones using non MAN based aircraft to start off with.

Any further news on the new WW destinations.

Viscount

AGP is a re-introduction of the route GT cancelled, even down to the timings, when they went down to one based aircraft.

Back to two based aircraft, so the route returns.

so the routes are
CRETE - HERAKLION
CYPRUS-PAPHOS
INNSBRUCK
MALAGA
MALTA
TENERIFE SOUTH
not bad.
