Ah yes, but look at the screenshot. There is no tariff for the outbound leg. No Tax, nothing. The only fare and tax is for the inbound leg.Besides, Jet2 don’t fly to Edinburgh

You will have the services of myself and my car for the good photo spots at Belfast City and Intl and the hire of my ladders (magic ladderS) for £10 an hour :D. That is assuming the fecking Police Service of Northern Ireland Lisburn Division Crinimal Justice Unit get their fingers out and send me a fooking reply if I am going to get fooking points!
Otherwise Walter will drive us 🙂 Also need pics of the SIm which will be done then

Thanks for the welcome. I’ve been a regular reader for some time, but decided the time was right now to start contributing. Glad the comments are of some interest.
BTW, don’t miss out on the opportunity to visit BHD and BFS if you can. And don’t forget that the Ulster Aviation Society have a museum at the old wartime Langford Lodge airfiled not far from BFS – prototype Shorts SD330 and Tucano, as well as Jet Provost, Buccaneer etc. Well worth a visit (by prior arrangement).

Good information.
Welcome to the forums Dee747!

With Loganair having pulled out of the initial plans to take over BA CitiExpress’ GLA/EDI to BHD flights, FlyBe have now increased their frequencies on both routes to fill the gap.
The company I work for would typically have between 10 and 20 commuters travelling each way between BHD/BFS and GLA every week day, and the removal of the BACX flights was going to be a huge headache. The fact that FlyBe have now included flights at times which make a normal ‘day away’ on business possible, is a great relief. Their first offerings on the BHD-GLA route were out of BHD before 07.00 and not returning again until around 20.00 – far too long for regular travellers. Good to see that they have the capability to adapt to the new opportunities opening up to them.
Interesting to note as well in a recent Belfast Telegraph article that they are also considering opening up a scheduled BHD-PMI flight each weeknight, using one of the BHD based 146s. This would leave BHD before the night time closure of the airport, returning from Palma by breakfast time to allow it to recommence scheduled intra-UK flights. Wonder how much those flights might come in at?

I’ve just booked for two relatives staying with us in July, and who want to spend some time in Edinburgh. Total cost from BHD-EDI including taxes was £97-odd return.
No wonder FlyBe call themselves Northern Ireland’s original low cost carrier.
