Route Development & Rumours

Dear lord, how on earth is an airline dropping 7x weekly flights from an airport national news?!

Its also irritating that they quote all the bad stuff perfect, but then when they say something positive about BHX they cant even get it right. For example BHX now handles more than 11.6 million, it also has a flight to Boston which was not included and is now served by x 2 Emirates A380s every single day.

Oh and also one of the most punctual UK airports.

And the fastest growing.

Shame the Torygraph did not bother to visit the BHX website. The headlines on there suggest c400,000 seats added from Jet2, SAS, Pimera and now TUI.

After a fairly abysmal (but not all bad) October I hope that this will lift some spirits

Langkawi will also be our longest direct flight, outdoing Phuket by just over 150 miles.

 

[Brum X]

I think this is great news Ray, Its certainly put a smile on my face

 

[Ray Finkle]

Mine too.

After all, it's not every year that you get new regular flights to New York, Boston, Toronto, Bangkok and Malaysia

 

[Ray Finkle]

If we add the other cruise flights that we'll see, as well as Phuket because it still hasn't actually started yet, it's looking pretty good

It’s just nice to see BHX included rather than the usual LGW/MAN combination.

Seems we’ve missed out on the Iceland flights again. Find that a strange one when smaller bases such as EMA and BRS will see them next winter.

Did the New York flight dissapear that was seen briefly on the schedule?

Indeed and that is the game changer in my opinion.

The only NY available on TUi is via FRA or BRU, nothing direct.

EWR is listed on the flight menu but not available to book from anywhere, similar to Trivandrum and Denpasar.

I thought the same but when you look at Bristol and see that they are losing WOW Air (they do have Easyjet to KEF mind) it makes me think that it may put our Icelandair under too much pressure.

Agadir is the one I want back, Morocco is so underserved.

 

[nwoody2001]

Have I missed something? What's this about Iceland???

Reykjavik is a winter destination for TUI from several UK airports.

 

[nwoody2001]

Ahhh I see ...well no reason you can't fly icelabdair and stay in a TUI hotel.

A great destination with regular food guys from bhx

I think you do get food with our regular flights with Icelandair ?

Im assuming Icelandair is a full service airline ?
