Sure the 738s would be cramped, but, like Preston says, the charter configurations are tight and people are willing to go that route.

If the price is right, people will pay it, I’m certain.

I’d love to see them give it a go, it would really give BA/VS and the American’s a run for their money!

I say go for it Ryanair because if you don’t, someone else eventually will.

Oh, and, do it from Teesside. 😀

Very good 🙂

Hi,

NCL is the largest airport in the NE.

Its scheduled services include the following destinations:

Belfast City (BE)
Isle of Man (BE)
Heathrow (BA)
Gatwick (BA)
Southampton, Bristol, Aberdeen, Birmingham (T3 & BA)
Dusseldorf (LH)
Paris CDG (BE/AF)
Dublin (BA & FR)
Alicante, Stansted, Belfast Int, Barcelona (EZY)
Amsterdam (KL)
Stavanger

All of the above use standard turbo-props and narrow body jets.

Two Britannia aircraft are based there in the summer (one a 763), two My Travel aircraft (both airbus I think), one TCX 757.

Excel and Air Scandic also have regular services out of NCL as do Air 2000. The usual array of visitors also arrive weekly; the TCX A330 from Florida, the TSC flight from Toronto, Helios, Futura, Iberworld, Spanair, Air Europa, Hola etc etc.. doing the usual runs.

Great viewing too (except for the fence). A dedicated viewing area is next to the cafe in the main concourse.

The front of the Thomas Cook brochure explains this perfectly.

They offer three types of holiday:

Economy/Standard/Extra

For economy – meals are extra and have a 15K luggage limit
For standard – meals are included and have a 20K luggage limit.
For Extra – meals are included, the luggae limit is £25K and pre-bookable seats are also included.

Basically, the holiday companies are trying to offer more choice and are stripping back the cost of most things in order to make holidays look more attractive. What used to be standard, quite often, now comes at an additional charge.

Excellent piccy softlad.

Just to add, Pembo330 😀 appreciates a good A330 pic too!

I’ve learnt something there too…didn’t know Skyservice had A330 leant out to MYT over the winter months.

I personally would say thats enough time. If there is a delay, BA will probably put you on the next flight anyway.

As much as I love being at airports, after just coming off a red-eye there is nothing worse than hanging around for several hours for a connection, so I think your timings are perfect.
