They also had A350 ads plastered around billboards with the airport.
Well punctuation has really gone out of the window recently.
BLE is Air Med.
Well they really think they are above and beyond the rest of us just because they can afford 2 weeks in South Africa playing golf.
5 hours on train from MAN-CWL!!!! Would a direct air link work with a small aircraft Dash 8, Fokker 100 or 737?
The A330 flies DUB-CPT and back no problem. It was when it was operated by a 767 the year before LTU started it had to stop in PMI. The LT flight is non-stop in both directions.
As regards the loads they are just like any other charter route. Slow at the start and at the end but in the middle that flight is always filled to capacity and they even offer a premium economy product which sells incredibley well. Ive seen people come to check in asking if their was any seats left even offering to pay but they never have any luck.
Its great to have a DUB-CPT flight but I work for their handling agent in DUB and the passengers on it are a totally different breed.
Do SAA still have A330s or have they all gone back to lessors? I know one was a BD machine.
How about MAN-CWL the long way around? What type do you think?
Im going to LGW and back and am really looking forward to flying with them I paid €40 extar to avoid Ryanair. On a side note do BA sell aircraft models on board?
There is demand for a DUB-CPT service. LTU restatrt their weekly A330 flight in a few weeks and alot of pax transfer through various hubs. Maybe 2/3 weekly would be sufficent.
Apparently its doing quite well and they are making a bomb on cargo.
BA is crap? Dont say that Im flying them for the first time on tuesday!
The AA flight from ORD-MAN diverted to DUB and I belive we had a TOM divert aswell. FR,EI and LG flights from MAN were all delyaed. I had a poor woman come off an FR flight transferring onto US to PHL-She didnt make it.
Sorry I couldnt make it I had to meet bro and sis from school after work. If I did come I could have drove you a little futher up the road which is alot better for photography espeically for 10 landings and 28 take offs. Just a pity its so far away.
Great to see another new route EI do quite well on DUB-TLS in the summer but drop it in the winter even though it provides good access to Skiing resorts so I wonder if LS will be summer only?
Now now children!!
