Leeds Bradford to Krakow

I think companies like Ryanair just would not look attractive in the long haul market.

Where the…. did you read that!? Let me guess, Pprune :rolleyes:.

The EZY 747 was an April Fools joke that people took far too seriously!

More likely here, as this is where most of the rubbish rumours come from 😉

EasyJey long haul, no chance. Ryanair long haul, no chance.
Jet2, long haul, just maybe 😉

Easyjet have looked at long haul with A330’s, don’t know if that would work though.

I remember reading that about EasyJet in Airliner World a few years ago.
So I dug out my Airliner Worlds, and in the April 2004 magazine, it shows a picture of what a Boeing 747-200 would look like in EasyJet colours (Designed by Bmussed55). It stated that it would have been used to increase capacity on some routes during the summer, aswell as possibly operating a transfer service for passengers using EasyCruise.

And if you look closely at the registration it is I-GOTU (i got you) as it was a april fools joke lol 😀

Did easyJet not have fairly advanced plans a few years ago to use a 747 on peak routes in the summer? I assume that must have fallen through though.

They won’t.

😀 Never say never….

Look at GSM!
(Not wanting to open the usual Jet2/Longhaul can of worms :diablo: )

Hopefuly JET2 will consider long haul market soon.

They won’t.

Hopefuly JET2 will consider long haul market soon.
Orlando is well worth considering, many people have villa’s in florida.

It also appears thet they operate the route from NCL!

In addition to LBA? Good news for NCL as well then!

I thought it was twice

We wish mate, we wish!

Excellent news for JET2 and LBA. It almost feels like LS are announcing new routes every month. Long may it continue!

Paul

Hope this is a sucess.
So are they looking at Larnaca, Paphos or Las Palmas yet ?

And they are selling it for £2.99 on the first two flights!!!

Some information about Krakow.

Warsaw was systematically destroyed by the Germans street by street during the war whilst the Russians were sunbathing on the other side of the river.
So not much left to see but still interesting.
However, Krakow was the original capital of Poland and it was never bombed by the Germans as it was considered to be part of Germany.
Jewish people from all over the world make a pilgrimage to the city. They even visit in huge groups from as far away as South America. Leeds also has a large Jewish population. And, also many Poles.
And of course, now the inevitable stag parties.

The People:Very friendly and helpful. Amongst the most highly educated in Europe.

Climate: on the same latitude as Jersey.The summers are usually warm with lots of sunshine. This year so far, 25 – 35 deg for the last 3 months. However, the winters can be cold when the airflow comes from Siberia.

Popular? I would say so, more visitors than Prague and in a survey conducted by a well respected UK travel journal, it was voted number 5 in the most desirable cities in Europe even beating Paris.

The city: vibrant beautiful and compact. The market square being the second biggest in Europe after Venice.

Eating out: Fantastic selection of restaurants. Polish, Italian, or whatever you fancy. Most are very high quality.

Nightlife: Bars galore and quite a lot of clubs.

Must visit: Auscwitz – Birkenau and the amazing Salt Mines.

Public Transport: Plenty of trams buses and taxis for very low cost. A new underground railway system is also being built. The rail network also excellent. You can take a direct train to Prague or Berlin for example.
The new station shopping complex will dwarf Meadowhall.

Skiing: Many Poles are accomplished skiers. The main resort is Zakopane one hour south from Krakow.

Hope this information is useful,

I thought it was twice daily from Jonathan’s post! Turns out it’s twice weekly.

Still – all good news for LBA!

Confused? I was!!
The flight ex LBA at 0600 to Krakow & return is Tuesday only
The flight ex LBA at 1800 to Krakow & return is Saturday only

Also Monday & Friday from Newcastle

Hmm, I’m slightly surprised they went for this and not for the old Centralwings success of Warsaw. I’m not complaining though, I’m sure they will fill the flights as did Centralwings.

Krakow is a lovely city as well, so it will possibly appeal slightly more to Leeds based pax as a tourist destination than Warsaw maybe would have done, particularly as the timings are a lot more sociable!

It’s in Poland.
