...................and nothing for poor BFS and NCL

GAZMO they are still finalizing their schedules so there could still be something for BFS and NCL as there's still a few gaps in BFS schedule not sure about NCL but. :)

Unless they are going to operate BFS from ALC I cannot see any new routes.


But fingers crossed as it would be nice to see a few new routes operated by Jet2

Hi all, is anyone able to tell me the aircraft being used on 26th May MAN-AGP LS809? I am unable to select my seats because of a need for 'operational flexibility' ? Hoping on the 757!

The seat plan for the return AGP-MAN flight on the 26th May is showing a B757.

Thanks for that!

Early Morning AGP
 

Flying out next Tuesday morning on the silly o clock to Malaga..will be checking in about 5am. Anybody with recent experience of what the departure lounge is going to be like at that time?..Appears to be about 8 flights going out between 6.30 and 7...so expecting a bit of a crush :{

Any tips or advice appreciated..thanks

Give us a clue from which Airport you are departing ?

Given his location on his profile I assume he means LBA.

I flew LBA -AGP on the 0700 a month ago. Guess what, the terminal is busy. Shell out for a coffee at one of the first two outlets you come to and sit there until boarding tiime.

Sorry guys, was early (for me) when I posted..Yes it is from LBA but thanks Tyke I suspected that might be the case and thanks for the advice :ok:

I flew last Friday to Amsterdam.I arrived at the Airport at 05:45 went straight to the security gate..There must have been about 200 in the queue.Give yourself plenty of time to get through security.

Book yourself into the Yorkshire Premier Lounge - calm atmosphere and a bit of brekky to boot - and the odd wallop if you want.

Anybody know why G-CELH 737-300 has its titles removed at MAN:

Gone into Air Livery for respray.

EXS300T?
Is that a training flight ?
G-CELT just overflew my house routing MAN-NQY ?

Just curious, obviously it could be off for storage, the apple hangar isn't yet open so it's not for maintenence I wouldn't of thought.

Are Privilege Style taking over most the flights from MAN to IBZ this Summer then?

I am off on 7th July and Flying Wild informed me would be a privilege aircraft.

Anybody know which one?
Are they decent planes?

Jet2 do not have a CELT. The flight number ending in T is normally indeed a training flight.

Sorry typo
It's CELK

757s are ex Iberia and the 767 is ex LOT, saw them around Manchester a lot last year not sure what the interiors are like though

Just an update to all those kind enough to give me some advice.Departed LBA yesterday at silly o clock..Cant say enough about Jet2..outstanding. The check in hall had loads of friendly staff on to help..Airport was busy but we bought fast track security, know it sticks in the throat, but we breezed through so would say its money well spent.Leeds would struggle at really peak times but otherwise fine. Didnt rate the exec lounge as good value, due to the glass wall which is like sitting in a goldfish bowl!!

Flew on 733 G-CELJ pushback on time and 10 mins early into AGP excellent crew (2 captains on flight deck) the breakfast was actually really good, proper bacon and beans that were`nt congealed and worth paying for. Although old the 733 looked in good condition, good legroom and seats ok, but wouldnt want to spend too long in them..

Overall Jet2 and LBA are a good fit long may they both prosper

Note your comments Paully, am travelling GLA-HER in August on I understand a B738, hopefully the mixed reports about seating comfort are favourable for me. First time on Jet2 since a Palma trip on a B733 in the early days of Globespan/Jet2.

Then again, when I was younger my very first GLA-HER was on BY on a B732, though I was, in the Fast Show tradition, very very drunk.... :}

G-CELK was conducting base training at NQY.

Are these Privilege Style planes any good then?
Ive heard theyre well old and knackered.

THe 757s were built in 91 and 99 so not bad for the type. Cant comment on the interiors. We flew on the Titan 757 last year and it had Jet2 seats fitted, they were ok if a little hard on the back after a 4 hr flight.

Cannot enlighten you about the Privilege Style interiors but several Spanish La Liga clubs use one of the B757s or the 767 to take there teams to away matches in La Liga, so I would say if it is good enough for them it should be good enough for you!

Anyone no when Las Palmas and Zante will go on sale from BFS for Jet2? They are listed in the Jet2holiday Brochure but not on sale on website. :)

Thanks. :)

BFS Dude

Maybe jet2 staff at HQ don't view this website!!!!

Ncl doesn't have zth, mla and lca on sale yet either

On line check in "not available"
 

Just tried to check in on line for tomorrow's NCE-MAN flights. Not available due to the requirement "to maintain operation flexibility".
WTF. Does that mean?
Dont look forward to the usual handling agent chaos at the check in desks.

"to maintain operation flexibility"
 

Expect it means the type of a/c hasn't been decided yet, so no seating plan, etc.

Go on Priveledge Style's website. It's got some interior shots. Reminds me of American pre 2000. May not look cool but looks comfy enough. Let's face it, with most airlines these days in main cabin it's the same sh-t but with a different uniform and seat cover. I've seen their 757s up close these days and whilst their colour scheme looks like something from MS Paint 95 they looked in good condition.

G-LSAE (LS517) has diverted into Sofia while running PFO-NCL, any news on how she's doing and the nature of the incident? Looks like a decompression due to the rate of descent?

Operational flexibility??????
 

The NCE to MAN flight on tomorrow (Thursday ) cant do on line check "For operational reasons" It has been suggested that the type has yet to be decided. Not unreasonable. However, as a wheeze, I decided to try and book another seat. Results: Flight full. So the type has been decided. It seems the " take me there " "great deal friendlier" chickens are coming home to roost. Time for a PM rant perhaps.

Im no expert Ivan but maybe its scheduled for a 737-300 which is full but may change to either a 800 or 757, hence they cent take any more bookings in case they do use the smaller aircraft

It looks like G-LSAJ has been scrambled from MAN to go and pick up the passengers, so hopefully not too much disruption for them, presumably also taking out spare crew and mechanics to tend to LSAE and bring that home when they can?

Looking at LS516 on Flight Radar24 playback - landed at SOF squawking 7700. Rate of descent up to about 7000ft/min so probably a depressurisation just after it reached 38000'

Jet2 already have Titan Airways Boeing 757-200, G-ZAPX on lease based at LBA due to a shortage of aircraft. Wonder if they'll have to lease in a further aircraft to replace the tech G-LSAE now as well tomorrow?

Where are the PS 757s at the moment, could one of those be brought in? Also if G-POWJ is available they could utilise her but G-POWH today at least was working for Thomas Cook and has been for a little while due to their staffing issues.

AH operated the NCL-FAO-NCL route a few days back, also positioning in from MAN with only an hour 30 delay so is there any slack in the MAN schedule?

G-LSAE was actually due to position back to Leeds tonight as EXS49A after operating the Newcastle - Paphos rotations.
