Where are they going to put the passengers? The gate lounges with 40 seats for a 180 seat 320 are a joke. You spend most of your last 30 minutes stood in a stairwell before the long trek to the steps. The old international pier isnt used much (at least when I'm travelling), but there seems to be no separation between international and domestic any more.

I don't think waiting in queues to board is unique to BFS.

TUI/Freebird - Summer 2023
 
TUI have added a 2nd weekly flight to Dalaman on a Thursday for Summer 2023, operated by Freebird Airlines.

BHD2BFS 18th Jan 2023 20:20

Does anyone know who will operate for TUI this year from Belfast ?
I hear sunwing won't be coming back and wonder if they will put in an actual tui aircraft for a change ?

The new 3x weekly EDI flights now on sale.

Jet2 Antalya & Tenerife
 
Apart from previously mentioned extra flight to Antalya, Tenerife gets extra flight in same period. Source BIA website

• Antalya – additional Monday services operating from 27th March to 24th April, meaning three weekly services in April.
• Tenerife – additional Friday services operating from 31st March to 28th April, meaning six weekly services in April and including two daily Friday flights during this period.

I wonder if T3 will now move back to BHD now BE gone.

OneBellEnd 29th Jan 2023 19:34

Indeed.

Depends I’m sure upon how peeved they remain with the actions of BHD management in inviting both Emerald and Flybe onto SOU at BHD, when Eastern were the saviours of the link after Flybe fell over (the first time).

Also, going back to BHD to compete head-on with Emerald on SOU may well be likely to see EZY join the fray on BFS-SOU now that Southampton Airport is upgrading its runway. Not sure that would be a great development for either Emerald or Eastern?

Think EZY BFS-SOU will be one of their first routes announced post runway extension

That was one of the routes that was going to start but then covid came and it was removed from sale. So could be it!

SWBKCB 14th Feb 2023 16:31

Where do they fly to on Wednesday's from other bases?

inOban 14th Feb 2023 17:20

At EDI, there's always been a day when one frame is rested, I had assumed for maintenance. Usually Wednesday although I think it was Tuesday in S22

True Blue 14th Feb 2023 18:14

Izmir was also planned and on sale, but never started. I was booked on one of the flights.

BFS BHD 9th Mar 2023 17:44

Looks like Ryanair is delaying the opening of the base by two days. Was meant to start 26th March now looking like all based flights will now start 28th March with non based still starting 26th.

Yea the Saturday flights where added on Thursday.

Will be interesting to see what Ryanair have planned for their first winter season back for W23/24. I say TFS, ACE & LPA are most likely routes if any new ones are added. Hopefully they put W23/24 on sale soon!

True Blue 23rd Mar 2023 20:48

I see Bfs is forecasting that they will break the 2019 pax numbers this year. If it happens that would be a fantastic recovery.
