So according to Wikipedia Ernest Airlines are operating Verona. It was Thompson at one stage. Is there a Thompson based aircraft this summer as the Palma flight tomorrow appears to be a 'W' pattern in at 1245 out 1410 unless there are 2 Palma flights on a Saturday and the morning flight is missing from the departures board.

No based aircraft as of yet but we will have one from the 18th of May (I think) The Verona flight has always been a TOM but it is chartered by other airlines, last year for instance it was Meridiana.

Also just have a look on social media about Dublin airport security queues, people blasting them over the last month for lanes not open and huge queues

I went through Dublin T2 at 0530 last Friday morning, it was painless except for the idiot ahead who thought the rules didn’t apply to him. Expectations set by a board before entering search area displaying estimated security transit time of 15 mins. Was through in less.

Credit where it is due, at BFS on Tuesday morning (0730) things were flowing and it was packed. The Fast Track ticket purchase machines were switched off and people told they could not buy because it was too busy. Approx 15 mins to pass through Fast Track lane.

If I’m not mistaken, Air Italy are wet leasing A320’s from Qatar Airways at the minute. Thats a bit of a step up in comfort!

Flying from BFS on Monday and wondering if I need to be there three hours before!

Monday always a busy day, plus many extra pax heading to GB after the North West 200 races. Always better to be on the safe side

Cheers. Fastrack security is not on sale for my two - three hours before flight too, so an early start it is... (!)

Fast track is cheaper purchased at the airport rather than online (there be logic in there somewhere). The machine in the check in hall doesn't seem to take new £1 coins though.

I was told that Fast Track machines were turned off on Tuesday morning because it was too busy. Might be worth checking if that is happening and purchase in advance if it is.

Someone I know almost missed his flight because he could not purchase Fast Track. His own fault, I’d agree but worth being aware of.

Fuel stop only. No issues.

West Atlantic's newest B738 freighter G-NPTA on the ramp this evening. Stunning colours, could teach 'proper' airlines something about branding. I wonder if Boeing provided some design assistance since it's the first -800 conversion and it has something of their house-colours 'wavyness' to it.

A bit odd, an A332 can do West Coast USA to London non-stop loaded. Maybe they didn't get a full uplift in Orlando?

Sunwing B738 C-FEAK arrived in just after tea-time tonight from Canada. Presumably for the TUI full-season kick-off tomorrow.

There was also a TUI-bluey B738 doing pilgrimage runs today.

Agree - it was training at PIK and one of the best airline liveries I’ve seen in quite some time
