I didnt say XLA flew 753s, I said TCX fly on a Sunday with 753s as does Excel. Sorry I should of put ‘with 738s or 752s or 762s!’.

Excel don’t fly 753s!! It is the same with Cyprus, TCX are Tuesdays in Paphos, BY are Wednesdays and Saturdays, FCA are in on the traditional Wednesday and Sunday, and Excel are in Friday, Wednesday and Sunday.

I think each airline has certain days, for example in CFU, Friday is mainly Britannia day.

Thomas Cook flies to ZTH on a Sunday with a 753, as does Excel.

OK, why is it that FCA go to Zakynthos on a Sunday and TCX with their 753s on Monday and a Thursday?

A Tristar was one of the unluckiest things that has happened to me!

I have also been on G-JMAB which was sub for a MyTravel flight, so I was lucky as well!

The luckiest thing was getting a Tristar as a sub for a Monarch flight in 1999 was great 🙂
