I have just caught up with the report of the inaugural flight by Jet2 from Newcastle to Tenerife in the Feb Airliner World. I read that this was an inaugural flight, and carried about 123 passengers on the outward bound flight, then on the return leg it was almost full with about 223 passengers. (Sorry, magazine not in front of me, so not typing exact figures.)
Question – if this was the inaugural flight, where did all those passengers for the return leg come from? Did they travel out on another airline?

I regularly fly to my Villa in Lanza on a different airline to which I fly back on. Just last thursday I went to sort out building work, Flew out of BHX on a Air Malta 320 at 06-25, then flew back on a Monarch 321 at 19-00 the same night.

End of season. Inbound seats utilised by tour operator to save them running an empty aircraft out to repatriate customers. Win/Win situation

The good thing about Jet2.com is that you can book single one way flights from TFS, LPA or ACE back to NCL!
I am in the summer! Flying into TFS with TOM and coming back with LS!
Good thing? Don’t all airlines do that :confused:

Last summer, I flew to Alicante from Glasgow on Easyjet and returned on Fly Globespan. This decision was based on the individual flight timings as much as the price. Perhaps a similar thing here….?
