There are advantages to the passengers of away-based rotations. They avoid either an early departure or a late return, often requiring an overnight stay, and they are likely to be passing through the airports when they are less busy.

And on the Edinburgh thread, discussing the loss of Norwegian flights to TFS, there is a poster lamenting the fact that the four alternative operators all fly at inhumane times. He doesn't like arriving home in the middle of the night, or I guess having to be at the airport before 5am.
I think there are plenty of people who will prefer civilised flight times. |
In Scotland we can pick our airports for suitable flight times to holiday destinations. With regards to my previous point, if a holiday flight fills both legs with passengers from a particular country, then the aircraft should be based in that country, else they will be flying in the passengers holiday time.

Booking a flight the times are clearly shown to the customer, the customer makes the decision if they want that flight. IMO I'd rather a flight at 10 or 11AM etc any time meaning I can beat the early 6AM charter wave and not getting out of bed at 3AM. |

If the times aren’t what you hope for, go elsewhere. The market will determine whether the flights are maintained in future. There’s nothing stopping people taking the outbound of one airline and the inbound of another if it works better for them. |
I get that some customers will compare flight times if the prices are similar in order to maximise time on holiday but this is secondary to the price.
If an airline planned flight times in order to allow everyone to maximise time abroad there would be hundreds of planes sitting on the ground doing nothing for large parts of the day. People who are that concerned with time will most likely flight private! |

That’s a flawed arugument. In that scenario the passengers should bare the cost of doing that, and you would then get shouts of “why does it cost us here in XXX hundred more than XXX”. There is a long tradition going back well into pre-LCC days of Air 2000, Britannia, LTU, Air Berlin, Transavia, Scanair etc etc across Europe flying from primary cities and areas of good catchment down to the sun and then back to base. Air Europa, Spanair etc on the other hand would start their day in Spain and head to the likes of Norwich, Humberside, Saarbrucken, Kristiansand. So those communities “lost holiday” as you put it, but as none were of them had the market to support a based aircraft it’s a shortened holiday, a long drive elsewhere, or no holiday at all. If the times aren’t what you hope for, go elsewhere. The market will determine whether the flights are maintained in future. There’s nothing stopping people taking the outbound of one airline and the inbound of another if it works better for them. |

Trying to book a flight but all flights are showing as sold out?
|
SIX MORE
Six new 737-800s delivered to DUB in 2 days, 4 in one evening being as close in time as you'll get to arriving in formation. Are these replacements or additions? A few of the older ones seem to be departing the fleet, but not many. |
DUB-TFS cancelled according to a review of my forthcoming reservation this winter. I then looked at the website and there's nothing at all throughout the winter on this route.
Is this a website mistake ? Edit to add - 20 minutes later - my flight is now back on the website but saying sold out. |
