Very bad news for Norwich Airport.

I’ve heard NWI mentioned several times in articles about LTE. Did they have a big presence there?

My understanding of it is that there will be no reduction in routes or frequencies, but that the cabin crew base will close. Flights will be operated by LHR based cabin crew.

Apparently whatever the tech problem was also meant that a tug couldn’t be attached.

Does anyone know if I will get anything to eat/drink onboard or not?

I would think food and drink will be available to buy.

How complicated can bmi make catering?

Also don’t forget that huge areas of West London and the M4 corridor have developed because of LHR and rely on it for their existence. To simply get rid of LHR would devistate commerce and society in these areas.

Possibly due to the type of ticket you are travelling on, some airlines keep things like choosing your seat (and sitting at the front) for those on full fare tickets.

You can still request a change by going to check-in although this rather defeats the point of trying to avoid the queues.

Have a good trip.

Am I missing something here, or how can Seguro blame the demise of Futura for their own demise?

I wondered about that one too.

You can bet your life that Seguro weren’t paying Futura up front, so the only thing I can think of is that getting replacement capacity on flights at short notice means having to pay extra, and this has proved to much for a company on the edge.

Or there’s my original thought which was that Futura going was a good opportunity to call it aday or a good excuse to hide behind.

is this a daily service?

Do you mean the LHR MAN LHR being on the 767?

The Shuttle, as it was once branded, to LHR is usually on 319/320/321, however when the MAN JFK MAN 767 aircraft needs to be changed over the replacement aircraft comes up on the first LHR MAN departure, the crew then swap the aircraft with the one that has just arrived from JFK for the return to LHR.

On that day the aircraft was late in from JFK causing a one hour delay to our 0815 departure to LHR.

Does that answer your question?
