Any sign of the Madrid flight happening.
|
I think it was only due to be a short-term thing while they operated to the Canary Islands over Christmas and New Year, so I guess that horse has bolted.
|
Thanks, both airports only seem to cater for the bucket and spade holidays even before the pandemic.
|
Ay, capital city routes seem to be short-lived, except the hubs like Paris, Amsterdam etc. Once everyone who wants to 'do' them has done them, the demand dries up.
|
Even Dublin seems to struggle
|
Too much competition from Carlisle? :-P
|
Dublin doesn’t struggle - did well pre-COVID and I’m sure it will once back running.
|
I was once told that NCL<>DUB was Ryanair's highest revenue route in terms of onboard bar sales per km flown.

Pre covid it was only a daily FR 738 and daily EI ATR. It used to be double daily Ryanair and up to 3 daily EI (Mon, Fri and Sun) |
Yes true - however the mid week evening rotation loads did not work, the same could be said about EasyJet's and Flybe's evening domestic services during mid week. Hence why Ryanair cut it back to double daily on Fridays, Sundays (and I think Mondays too).

JET2 are launching their winter ski flights programme today.
Grenoble, Salzburg and Geneva. |
Frankfurt looks good on paper. Anyone any experience of using it as a transit hub or long haul Lufthansa?
|
Yes, numerous times. All very well organised etc, great views at the gates and LH offer some good deals in premium cabins to The States and Asia.
|
Thanks, good to hear.
I nearly had to change to them from SWISS in January coming back from Asia but ok in the end, apart from the carnage that was LHR border control, though a lot of that was down to the stupidity of the people arriving. But on my entire trip there was no such thing as social distancing. Waiting times recently there up to 8 hours so I will never complain about NCL again. Maybe.... |
Its very good - things work there - but allow plenty of time - there are some long walks - like Schipol
|
Thanks again.
I used to get on very well with AMS but the ridiculous amount of security has ruined it. I don't know any other airport that makes you go through full security as soon as you get off the plane just to enter the transit area. It rules out short connections. But maybe that is all Germany now? |
AMS entirely depends on where you are coming in from - this is due to how the transfer system works there with passengers freely mixing airside. Trusted countries Schengen/UK/US/Australia etc do not need baggage scanning on arrival but come in from places where the Dutch do not trust the security and they want your bags scanning. Years ago things were different and there was a non-Schengen>Schengen bag scan but it was changed in 2015.
|
I can understand that. But it's still a pain.
Still, I might give Frankfurt a go. |

Heathrow even from a domestic flight. https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb...ht-connections |
KLM return from monday.
Early days, but it also looks like they are increasing frequency this upcoming winter from 3 flights a day to 4, matching the normal summer schedule. |
4 flights a day is the normal winter schedule pre-covid.
|
Normally just 3 flights a day in the winter, with the lunchtime flight not operating was it not?. All 737 operated apart from saturdays which see's an E175 on the late afternoon flight?
|
No, it was definitely 4 flights a day last winter and previous winters. The lunchtime flight (KL960) is normally an Embraer, it’s also normally the first one to be cancelled during disruption.
|
Klm
KLM normally did 4 x daily in winter and 5 x daily summer

Sorry, been offline a couple of days. Not sure about the data but my perception, and this is all based on pre-Covid, is that the number of folks going for weekends in Dublin has dropped in recent years. Maybe it's 'cause I'm getting older, I don't know :) Personally, I think it is the most overrated city I've been to, but there you go. |
Dublin
The pendulum has swung in favour of Dublin - originating traffic. Newcastle is now seen in Ireland as a proper party town, so there a decent two way flows to sustain frequency and capacity on the route.
|
New twice weekly Chania with Ryanair from 4th July.
|
I doubt the date is an accident, looks as though Ryanair has a heads up that foreign leisure travel is going to be banned until July. The Government line has been that "all will be revealed" in April.
|
I wud say your rite and that's Greece that's talking travel corridors
|
Very good news, especially as it is an unserved destination and Ryanair seemed to be reducing ops at NCL. Let's hope there are more new destinations to come.....even an eventual base now that EZY have left (except for BFS and BRS.
It should do well. |
ATNotts
Or as they saying goes "air on the side of caution". They don't want to go full scale operations with new routes such as this before July when many believe that is when the ramp up will happen. I still believe we will be flying from June. If we don't get flying until July don't expect much of a summer season considering the logistical nightmare it will be to get everyone back throughout the whole of the industry. |
Turkish Airline CORENDON start routes to ANTALYA and DALAMAN from NCL May 2022.
|
2 flights per week to both.
a nice add to the airport. let’s hope there is more to come and maybe another airline which will add more to ncl in the coming years |
Another new Ryanair route, weekly to Zadar from July 2021.
Correndon now on sale for 2022, 2 x weekly to both Antalya and Dalaman, flights start from April 2022. Thanks to SeanM1997 for the headsup. |
|
Ryanair.....all routes are operated by Ryanair except the Polish routes which are operated by Buzz and the new Zadar route which is Lauder Europe.
|
Another string to the RYR bow then on Zadar...Estee!
Apologies...delete...too much sun! |
