Does anyone know what the Centralwings loads were like? I could see a problem straightaway with running a scheduled service that left at 0300hrs (though at least the Leeds Outer Ring Road is relatively quiet at that time).

Warsaw doesn't have the same cultural draw of Prague, nor (yet) the attraction to stag parties. This is sadly due to it having been almost totally flattened in the last war and replaced with Stalinist concrete monstrosities. The beer's cheap though. If anything, I would have thought that Krakow would have been a better bet.

My money would be on (1) LCA , (2) LPA and (3) MUC but I'm only guessing.

With a bit of luck there will be sweet FA for NCL :ok:

:D :D :D

Excellent. Let's have some local rivalry!

LBA: We are Leeds, we are Leeds, we are Leeds, jetting off together etc.

NCL: Toon airport! Toon airport!

Everybody: Stand up if you hate MAN

According to CAA stats 2180 pax flew to/from LBA-WARSAW in April this year, there are no stats for May yet!

Now by my reckoning and it is only a guesstimate there were 24 flights in/out in April. Not sure what Centralwings seat configuration is but lets say 150 a plane thats 3600 seats! So just less than two thirds used.

In previous forums about Centralwings. Advertising at this end was not at it's best as I understand. That, and as you mentioned the god awful timings were probably contributors to these figures.

I'd still plum for a Jet2 route to Poland, be it Warsaw or Krakow. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Hey Robo.....

MAN : COME ON CITY !!!

Some of Centralwings flights were standard Lot equipment so business class at the front.
Krakow had more visitors than Prague last year and is becoming the stag party capital of Europe.
All the bars and clubs are very close together not spread out like Prague or Warsaw.
Many passengers on flights to Warsaw continue on to Krakow by plane or train.
Krakow was the original capital of Poland.

Krakow it is then....:D

The curse of the low cost airline - we are populating great cities of culture and history across Europe with Britain's distinctive export - drunken, idiotic, ignorant fools. At least package holidays kept them confined in Mediterranean resorts well away from anything civilised and worthy. Probably best for another thread I guess.....

I'd swap Krakow for Gatwick / Docklands any day - I loathe the slog through Heathrow.

What are you trying to say about the LS clientele then? ;)

OK...OK "Two new routes to be announced shortly"

I'll be the first to admit, maybee we were a little too premature with out dreams/ hopes that Jet2 would pick up Poland, Cyprus or Las Palmas.
Maybe in the pipeline at a later date perhaps Summer next year..who knows?

Hey, its still excellent news for the winter ski destinations. Salzburg ( brand new), Geneva, Barcelona, Milan and Chambery to come.:ok:

What next?

No mention of Chambery in the Dear Leader's press release....
Just goes to prove that those in the know keep things well under wraps. Quite right too....don't want those upstarts Flybe muscling in :hmm:

Jet2 have now put the Leeds/Bradford - Dusseldorf and Belfast Int'l flights on sale for this coming winter.

Dusseldorf stays 6 times weekly. With no changes to the times.

Belfast Int'l stays twice daily on weekdays and once daily Saturday & Sundays. Note though the Sunday evening flight has been retimed and will now be operated by a Belfast based aircraft Crews instead of the normal LBA based B737's

Always one or two idiots that spoil it for the rest of us. We arnt all like that, im sure you have these type of idiots at your company, we all have um!

GLOPESPAN
 

JUST WONDERING IF J2 HAS ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
ON THE GLOBESPAN THREAD THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED FLTS TO NY FROM LPL AND ARE LOOKING AT DURHAM TEES/ NCL AND POSSIABLY DONNY FOR SHORT AND LONG HAUL

Wish jet2 would get their fingers out and get a 767 into MAN and LBA to get some long haul, before GSM get all the good routes, besides i want a bit of long haul again i miss the beaches of far flung islands lol :)

So far Jet2 have done fine by doing their own thing rather than by knee-jerk reaction to other carriers who might or might not know what they are doing :hmm:

I'd like to see 767s out of LBA but at the moment the infrastructure is creaking at peak times. Until PM totally takes leave of his senses I think we have to trust him :cool:

Does anyone know the exact allocations of the 757s?
Have heard that the next 757 online will be based at MAN, with the 5th 757 going to Blackpool which will be the 757 that may well be doing the TFS W patterns in the winter.
Other i heard was 3 757s for LBA, 1 for MAN and 1 for TFS
any ideas? anyone know of anymore aircraft have been added

Last rumour I heard was 8 757's summer 2007
