Flybe

Now through US pre clearance which took quite a while! Also been through 2 security checks so far. Just waiting to board my flight to San Francisco now!

Yet Faro is onsale? I wonder if those routes are under review? Maybe swapping 2 of the jets for 2 Q400s? I hope not as it would be a bit of a blow for CWL to lose those European routes!

I’d be very surprised if Rome and Venice were dropped. MUC i can understand. Verona does ok too though even at low frequency I seem to recall?

Yeah I'd be surprised if they did as well. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

The gaps on Wednesday and Sunday have now been filled

The Wednesday gap is now filled with a 2nd daily flight to CDG. Increasing flights to 11x weekly.
The Sunday gap is now been filled with a 3rd daily DUB. Increasing to 15x weekly

 

[Jerry]

That just leaves the Saturday gap where DUS was.

Flew back from the USA today and my last flight was with Flybe on the E175. 82 passengers on the 88 seater jet. Unfortunately though my luggage wasn't on it! Not blaming Flybe. Culprit is most likely Aer Lingus again. When we got on stand at CWL i thought they were going to use the airbridge on stand 7 but they moved it out of the way and used steps instead.

I’m unsure what the crack is with the airbridges. I have seen the KLM this week not using the one in 9 and regularly see the Flybe not using them.

I wonder if this is a training issue with certain staff members or at the airlines request. (I will try and do some fishing)

Yesterday seen the last Flybe Embraer E195 at Cardiff.

G-FBEJ positioned from Cardiff to Birmingham at 07:11 as BEE031M and was replaced by G-FBJF which arrived from Birmingham at 09:06 as BEE032M

It's last scheduled flight was the BE4514 from Glasgow on Monday 7th January 2019.

Although for most of the routes the E175s are better suited it's a shame that we'll not see the E195s based at CWL anymore especially the purple livery ones.

Do flybe/eastern offer online check in on the angelsey services?

Do flybe/eastern offer online check in on the angelsey services?

Yes. I checked in online for both of my flights and printed the pass at home.

 

[Jerry]

One thing I forgot to mention when i flew from Cardiff last was that it looks like Flybe will be using the new bag drop machines as well as TUI. They are over to the far left up against the wall but weren't being used when I flew from there last.

 

[aviatorconcorde]

Yes. I checked in online for both of my flights and printed the pass at home.

Was hoping to do a back to back at VLY.

Anglesey? Easy there is a small check in area a security scanner then a a small lounge. It's bigger than i thought it would be and your not crowded. It's a nice little airport. Whole process is pretty quick.

Ahh ok thanks. Was hoping to get off the aircraft and get straight back on in a quick back to back. Should be possible.
