Looks like NQY is about to receive EI weather diverts from BRS and CWL.

Makes sense for EIr who have handling and fuel contracts in place at NQY already.

Makes sense for NQY as every penny helps. Being open to accept diversions can provide a welcome additional income.

Just want to say I had a great experience going through NQY for the first time. A great little airport with friendly people.

The only negative of the trip was my experience at the other end of the route (@LGWobviously)!!

BE was great and LF looked decent for a mid-week flight.

Looking to take the family back next time.

Why is it that the LGW security scanners won't read the barcode thingy, on the return boarding cards that NQY checkin helpfully print for you?

DUB (2017)
 

Service will run x5 weekly (+1) in March/April, x7 (+2, apart from Jul/Aug +1) in May-October.

New 09.00 ex DUB daily (excl SUN 19.15) so would expect BOS, EWR, JFK, ORD, BDL to be offered.

That's good news for Summer '17. I understand that loads on the service this winter are not too shabby. The new LBA service seems to be doing well. Only 4 seats shohwing as available northbound on todays flight and some flights around Christmas already full.

I wish BE would make the BHX route year round, whenever I fly on it in summer there always seems to be a decent number of Cornwall residents on board. With BE now offering so many connecting flights from BHX themselves and with code share partners this must also stack up the need for a year round BHX route?

surely its just a matter of time before BE make NQY a base and operate more year round and seasonal routes.


Germany is a huge market here so would be surprised if another German route isn't added soon

If the summer17 flybe schedule does in fact release tomorrow as suggested elsewhere what do you guys think that NQY will look like for BE ?


cs

I expect it will be similar to this year, although what I'd like to see is a mid-week (Tu,We, or Th) added to the Saturday only routes to enable shorter 3 or 4 day breaks.

Similar I'm also hoping but like you some additional midweek frequencies on the Saturday only routes.

Perhaps a German route ? And hopefully see sense and up rotations to Manchester.

Quite disappointing looking at the flybe summer17 release assuming it's complete which I don't think it is.

However based on current release STN dropped. MAN down to 1 daily.

Marginal increase on GLA and BHD


cs

STN shows as operating if you view online timetable with it as departure point.

Some additional freqencies (eg, EDI midweek, GLA on Sat and Sun) and earlier starts (eg, BHD from 1st April) but NCL is showing as 1 rotation only in Sept'17, so would say this deffo isn't finished yet.

There's also the LBA route increasing to 5x weekly, which didn't exist at all last summer.

Yes suspect that flybe schedules aren't fully released as yet as makes no sense to have 1 single NCL per year !

Looks like the gap exists between BHX-NQY-BHX to fit the STN in but will be interesting to see a proper finalized schedule

Newcastle thread reckons

"The Flybe schedule is also out, with Exeter and Newquay as per this summer"

Summer '17
 

Flybe seasonal weekends all on sale.
ABZ,EDI,GLA,NCL,LPL all from 27/5
BHD From 1/4
Additional to S'16: EDI Wed from 3/6, GLA Sun and extra Sat BHD in peak.
Other changes to MAN,BHX,STN and LGW still to come I expect.

Good news for NQY.
Aer lingus will be making onward connections via DUB available for travel from March 17

Just noticed the charges for taking photos at the airport including the cafe, departure lounge and car parks etc. They are taking the p**s at £200 a go. Rip off Britain what! How much! I will just have to have a glass of red wine to get over it, 1 Euro (85p) a bottle from the local Lidls!

Why only one glass at that price? Better than what the pubs charge = around £5 a glass.
