Has it not surprised anybody that MAN has no direct link to Vienna?
Flights to Vienna courtesy of Air Sylhet, and onward to Dubai. Check out the website news but be ready for the music blaring round the office :uhoh:

The cheapest return fares MAN-VIE with Air Sylhet is £351 so don't expect a stampede.

Does anyone know how you can book SV MAN-GVA tickets? I understand they are offering returns for around 80 quid, but can't get an answer on how to bok them!

Etihad are sending a 777-300ER in on 27th.

Dunno why. Publicity perhaps. :confused:

MUFC_fan 22nd Oct 2008 22:34

Seems it is being sent from now on.

I looked at the Etihad website a few weeks ago and it showed the 77W all through to the summer IIRC.

MAN - GVA with SV can be booked on OPODO. I'm flying with them tomorrow, £95.17 single.

How about EI to take up MAN-ORD when BD finally give up the ghost on long haul ex MAN ;)

steve wilson 23rd Oct 2008 18:08

Are BMI pulling its long hauls out of Manchester then? No doubt the A330s will be off to Heathrow then !?!

eggc 23rd Oct 2008 18:43

BMI apparently have an announcement tomorrow as well as EI. I think BMI's 330's will be based ex LHR by S09 ! 2+2=3

Fuel Boy 23rd Oct 2008 18:53

BMI
 
I hope they don't do anything mad, I have booked tickets to LAS in May and I don't want to have to go through LHR.

I hope it isn't to bad for those who work for BMI fingers crossed

Rumours at MAN today are very strong that BD might well be moving the A330s to LHR, but I have not heard anything about EI taking over.

BYALPHAINDIA 23rd Oct 2008 20:11

Well if they do and (I hope not) then they will not be able to come back and retake those MAN slots.:ugh:

akerosid 23rd Oct 2008 20:17

EI has recently entered into interline agreement/codeshare with UA; possible, if not probable, that there's a co-ordinated move here: BD out (well, to LHR) and EI in.

EI is talking about setting up a cabin crew base in the US (which has been greeted with less than complete enthusiasm by EI staff), so maybe this is involved as well; the new CC bases will be SFO and two others, which I can't recall (JFK and ORD, I think); if these are correct, two - ORD and SFO - are UAL hubs.

EI has two new A330s coming next year (although it is losing two older ones) ...

You appear not to be able to book MAN ORD on BD from the end of March on Expedia....or is it me?

Oh dear....

toledoashley 23rd Oct 2008 21:09

If think it is just you - I am getting BGI for May, so could it just be ORD?

My god, have you even tried booking on flybmi.com, I'm sure that would be more reliable then expedia??? Flights are bookable to ORD throughout Summer 09. I love the scaremongering on here....!!!!!!

BYALPHAINDIA 24th Oct 2008 19:15

Don't know what's happening at MAN at the moment??:confused:

With BA's last NY flight tomm, And now widespread rumours of BD pulling out??

Who's next??:hmm:
