This is one apsect that makes things like capacity available, catering, etc. difficult for an airline. On the up side they can charge more for flexible tickets.

What a lot of business people with flexible tickets do is book a flight planned around the latest they are likely to finish their working day. Invariably they are able to finish early, so they try their luck on earlier flights (either checked-in straight away if seats are available, or on standby if they are not), safe in the knowledge that if all else fails they still have a reservation on the later flight they originally booked on.

On key business routes around the UK and Europe, the passenger loads on flights departing around 1600 are generally higher than booked, whilst those departing around 1800 are generally lower.

I’m happy to be corrected, but the last I knew 3 of the 8 Dash’s, G-BRYU/V/Y were still in utopia colours, Benyhone, Colum and Rendezvous respectively. Perhaps our MAN regulars are the best to say if they’ve seen them recently.

Not sure what the 4 aircraft referred to in the article would be. Where is the article from?

But surely an Argentine A320 wouldn’t have the range for Gatwick. 😉

I was really just talking about recognising the tail from the drawing.

However you do see Aerolineas Argentinas shorthaul aircraft At LGW, usually an MD-80something, operating their flights to MAD, which is probably what the Air Plus Comet aircraft was doing.

Aerolineas Argentinas?

So Judas was right as well, same tail logo!

Is it just me or is Air Plus Comet a really naff name for an airline? I always think it sounds like they thought up 2 names, couldn’t decide which to use, so stuck them both together.
