I am flying to Malaga on the 8th June for a week with Excel Airways (dont worry, i am getting out of the costa del sol!) Does anyone know what type of aircraft will be operating the service? I fly back a week later (Flight no’s XLA2214/5). I am amazed they only fly to AGP once a week from MAN! – but still – half the price of a low cost carrier, i am not complaining! I am guessing it will be a 767 (200 or 300) or a 757 (fingers crossed)!
Cheers!

The last time i was in AGP we followed an Excel B762 there and back from Manchester. I’m sure one of the manchester locals wil be able to help you out!

Well, I have been on a 762 already with Excel – was impresive service for a charter flight! But i would prefer to go on the 757 or the 737 – just something different! (not that its makes any difference as long as i arrive there in one peice!)
I would have thought that with Malaga being such a polular route, the aircraft would be a larger one?! Or at least the frequency higher than it is at the moment (just once a week!)! I dont know what Excel do with such a large fleet in May/June and Sept/Oct, considering frequency to the really popular destinations is quite low! I know the larger aircraft are brought in over the summer from Air Atlanta though!
Does anyone have a schedule that lists the type for my flight!?

If you go on the Boeing 757-200, it is very nice. Sadly for you, Malaga is nearly always served by a 738.
