Great report – packed full of top details!! 😀

Shame about the lack of pictures but security first etc. 🙁

I know exactly how you feel with people not obeying the rules!

Great shots! 😀

Love the summer feel they have, wish there was a bit more of it in the UK right now… :diablo:

Did easyJet not have fairly advanced plans a few years ago to use a 747 on peak routes in the summer? I assume that must have fallen through though.

The 737-600 has high operating costs per seat as all ‘shrunken’ varients do – they just can’t offer the same economies as a RJ, for example. Hence why the A318 and 736 haven’t sold in huge numbers, and have sold to airlines that have other NG varients and are used to retain commonality, for the most part.

Any substantial order for replacement aircraft for Thomsonfly will most likely form part of a big order for the whole of the TUI Group.

Ah yes but a simple typo can turn 155 into 255… 155 would be more realistic. Whereas it would be a pretty big typo to turn what should have read B767-300 into B737-800. 😉 However, knowing journalists when it comes to aviation stories I wouldn’t be surprised if both seating capcity and aircraft type were wrong….!

😀 😀 Getting their facts right has never been a priority for many journalists!!

Whether or not a 737-800 will make it or not, the article says that the service will carry about 225 people, and as LBARULES has already pointed out – that’s just not possible:D

Not even the charters could cram that many seats in 😀

Great shots as ever Lance!

BBC News dubbed Manchester yesterday
“The UK’s largest regional airport”

Anything outside London being regional, obviously :rolleyes:

To uninstall Flight Simulator, go to C:Program FilesMicrosoft Games and delete the folder named “Flight Simulator 9”.

I don’t know if that’s the recommended uninstallation procedure – but if nopt I wouldn’t do it – it still leaves all the information in the registry which can confuse the computer if it’s reinstalled.
