Ryanair - Winter 2021/22
 

Looks like all Ryanair flight from BFS have been removed from sale for Winter 2021/22.

Has someone told True Blue? He/she can extend their general warmth at the news FR are canning BHD, through FR canning BFS

Again not unexpected news. Probably did not get a deal from either Airport

Does anyone know when the lounge is re-openeing ?

Anyone know what company Ryanair where doing the Milan flights for in the Winter Season?
And if the company will find another airline to replace Ryanair?
As Ryanair never put them on sale, always showed up as 'Sold Out' on app.
So must have been for a touring company.

And another story today. Belfast International Airport queues described as ‘bonkers’ as passenger criticises lack of social distancing - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

Maybe the other security personnel are working from home!

I flew Belfast International to Gatwick yesterday and at around 5pm there was a bit of a queue at security. They had one passenger X-ray machine in use and two machines for checking bags. It felt busier than Gatwick had been at 6am. However often it's difficult to tell. There was however a lot longer wait at BFS for security and those Disney style queues where you go up and down the line inside a taped of area are enough to drive passengers mad.

When the flight was called there was no gate area as such, and no speedy boarding. I can't remember the gate number but it was a set of stairs next to the causeway lounge. Passengers stood on the stairs and when they got to the bottom of the stairs their boarding passes were scanned and they went straight to the plane.

I guess both of these situations cause people to panic a bit and then social distancing goes out the window.

Try Luton, tinned sardines have more space.

Can't believe people are still moaning about social distancing when it comes to airports.. unfortunately there is a lack of staff within all areas of the airport as with most industries, many took the offer of redundacy during the pandemic. It will take months to even out with recruitment, even with this it'll still be challenging at times due to those having to isolate.

It will only get worse as traffic light system changes along with testing requirements in the future, not to mention seasonal Halloween and Christmas traffic.

My advice is if you need to travel, brace yourself for a few months... we will more than likely see queues out the door, limited opening of security channels, it's not going to be nice..

jobs fair - 160 jobs available...

Maybe they need to look at the reasons why the existing staff our leaving,who in right mind would work for this company the way they treat there staff.

Vueling starting Paris Orly to BFS early November. Sat and Tues evenings.

Great to see VY at BFS. Prices quite keen £35 on way out and can get £9 flight back from Paris Orly.

Will they move BCN to BFS for next summer season?

Looking at the seat maps, it seems to be an Airbus A321 operating the ORY route which is capable of carrying 220 pax.
