Good catches, Andrew.
Thomsonfly’s G-FDZB took me to/from Greece in 2007 so it’s always nice to see it in pics.

Very good post above, Andy.

I just hope for everyone’s sake that the reliability & availability of their website improves. Ever since they changed the booking system last year, on quite a few occasions I have tried to access their site and found it’s been down. Seems very poor for such a major web-based company to have a faulty website.

Regarding the actual closing of the desks, I can’t really see any reason why they wouldn’t. Ryanair definately need to save as much money as possible in the struggling market and all these new planes arriving, for example, will not help.

Well done on the offers. Just hope that you don’t miss out on the uni-life by living at home rather than living in halls!

I wouldn’t mind seeing Flybe now expand at LBA. A possible link to LGW is a good start, but as someone pointed out who really wants to fly to LGW, especially when it is a good 40 minutes out of London, but you never know BE could make this route successful.

Arguably the journey into London can take just as long from LHR. Gatwick Express takes only 30 minutes to Victoria station.

I agree that LHR is more useful for the connecting passenger, however. Trouble is the slots, or probable lack of. The facts are that there’s more money in long-haul operations than a little trip to LBA.

To be honest, I’d rather eat mud than any of those flavours. Give me a pack of Salt & Vinegar and that suits me, and I’m sure a lot of people, fine.

Anyone reckon there’s any chance of maybe FlyBe moving in and operating a similar LGW service to what is offered at NCL?

That is what’s going through my mind. I’m sure they’d make a success out of it, and Flybe are certainly keeping everyone waiting regarding their supposed expansion from LGW. Definately a potential new route.

Never knew it existed, to be honest. Just shows how much attention I pay to the sticky threads! :p
