A350 Bhd LHR cant wait
|
if Virgin see a value in handing over slots to Flybe, it says a lot about the profitable use of shots for their existing long haul network, I would imagine a slot would be better utilised to a north American destination... Should A220 become a reality, could see these on the LCY that seems to be performing well. I know a few separate people that fly to London weekly, and have swapped from BA Heathrow to BE City, esp as can continue to collect Avios. |

incredible that Flybe have been able to get their hands on LHR slots, if Virgin see a value in handing over slots to Flybe, it says a lot about the profitable use of shots for their existing long haul network, I would imagine a slot would be better utilised to a north American destination... |

Wonder longer term will the slots revert to long-haul. Perhaps aircraft shortage with DL / VS is the reason.

New member 4 posts in.. A refuelerman or a watcher ? Tourette's is defined as part of a spectrum of tic disorders, which includes provisional, transient and persistent (chronic) tics. Tics are often unnoticed by casual observers. While the exact cause is unknown, it is believed to involve a combination of geneticand environmental factors Anyway BA are upgrading their lounge soon. |

BBC are reporting that CWL, DSA and EXT routes will all finish from BHD, starting to think Connect will literally just connect most airports to hubs. Thin routes will more than likely to go.
Seems like a good opportunity for Loganair to jump in now and starting picking up any loses to the Scottish regions |

Anyway, my point. BE have stated that jet operations at those bases would cease. Isn’t EXT operated by a Dash 8? Ok, CWL and DSA are jet ops but the press release also states an intention to keep open routes using Dash 8’s from other bases. Now unless BE can magic up some more Dash 8’s at short notice, it is safe to assume that capacity will need to be lost somewhere in the route network. But, that remains to be confirmed by them. If the BBC reported exactly as you say, the facts out there now do not support their article. |
EXT has some jet operations - namely the positioning flight to/from NWI for the sun routes for each airport.
Looking at CWL departures yesterday, apart from Anglesey all jet operation. That is some cull. |
Why does BHD not allow regular customers to buy fast track? I would like to buy a ticket. This is the only airport in the UK that doesn’t offer this facility. |

So what? BFS and other major UK airports allow you to purchase a fasttrack pass and they have business passengers? Don’t defend the indefensible. |
Don’t defend the indefensible. But we will because it's fun ! |
Don’t defend the indefensible. |
BHD were selling fast track with parking, not sure if that applies but there's probably little or no value in it now given the speed of security.
On the point of propaganda more power to their elbow, better to push yourself forward with positive news than be ridiculed on social media for security queue's and ramp incidents... . 🤔 |
