GB Flying to Sharm EI Sheilk and Hurghada

[flyer55]

Just read in the paper that GB are flying to the above destinations from LGW , which is good for staff travel!!

Hmmmm - You may find that actually operating one of these sectors is sufficient to cool the enthusiasm. If GB flight crew do not already understand the rules relating to FTL/discretion then they shall do very shortly.

What will frequency be like on the route and will they be using A320s or A321s? I'm assuming it'll be a triangle route e.g. LGW-HRG-SSH-LGW or LGW-SSH-HRG-SSH?

[SPFlyer]

without any real knowledge of the GB programme, id say operating in triangle pattern would be near on impossible within a standard FDP.

Remember every sector reduces ( on average ) 45 minutes from the allowable FDP, coupled with the extra down time id say you'd struggle to operate this in 12:30 minutes ( which is the most allowable if the flight departs LGW between 0800 - 1259 ).

Like i say, just looking at the crewing side, but its gonna be close!!

Discretion, discretion...!!!??

[c.r.m what is it]

I belive the flights are due to run

LGW-SSH 3 x weekly
LGW-HRG 2 x weekly

Not w pattern flights, departing around 09.15 in the morning!!
