I think I might go on a TCX A330 next year to Calgary fom MAN or LGW as Air Transat aren’t doing any winter flights!

I’m more worried about what those animals are about to get up to on the inflight entertainment system… 🙂

I wouldn’t be so sure! 🙂
An excellent report, topjet330, and a very nice selection of photos, too!

The route is affected by the NAT tracks in use. These depend on the wind etc and change monthly. The pilot probably just choose a more southerly one as there are something like 15 in each direction!

i wondered if it could have been that the airways above Ireland were so busy that a mere charter operator had to go the long way around. In total that route added 26 minutes onto our journey.

Well, I wish I could give a definate answer. Looking at it seems even more odd to me because it is going to MAN and not LHR/LGW which have had incomings using this approach to the U.K. The entire routing system is very complicated, I really would like to learn more about it.

strange though someone else did this route in may and they came in over Ireland

first of all i though she isnt tall enough, but there must be height restrictions, so i really dont know, i had my bags in there and there wasnt nothing else in.
anyway she made it quite clear she had slept a full hour on the flight back home to manchester.
i also wonder if someone can explain the route on the way back, because i havent seen that before.
The route does appear differnt to me too. The most probable reason could be the fact that because of the southen location of your departure routing up all the way to New Foundland and over Ireland was not very practical. So routing was placed more to the south. Of course it was also affected by ETOPS restrictions. I could be wrong though.
Hope I at least helped a bit-
