No problem. At least it shows you not missing much. I just thought I had to say some thing.
 
Although I haven't booked anything yet I'm hoping I'll be using this route in September. Got an itinerary planned out and AGP-CWL would be my flight home.

It will be interesting to see as well how much it helps malaga grow as a route and if it will encourage them onto the other Spain sun routes in the future.
 
Summer 2020 starting to be released. BRS appears to be on sale but as yet nothing for CWL. Hopefully CWL flights won't be far behind.
Any predictions?
 
Brs only has Ali, pmi , agp and fao so far. If like last year it be sept before the rest is released
 
Keeping my fingers crossed for Rome and Venice!
I would expect an extra flight on Faro to take it to 3 weekly though it would be great to think they'd go 4 weekly. I'd expect the others to stay at the same frequencies.
New routes maybe either Alicante (Vueling do seem to have put that onsale on it's own a bit early i think), Mallorca (lack of a flight on the weekends from a LCC) and maybe Lanzarote as TCX have dropped it and it could be a good all year round route.
Other routes i think would be unrealistic at the moment, with Milan MXP launched to BRS that may give an indication that they think pure city routes won't work from CWL and their focus maybe on the bucket and spade routes. Maybe they'll surprise us like they did with Malta!

Totally agreed, as far as any additions go it's only going to be bucket and spades from Ryanair at the moment. As things stand, even an optimist can't imagine a 189 seater getting 90%+ occupancy on a route to Milan, Warsaw or even Munich from CWL regularly. I would bet that Ryanair are holding off on any city routes from CWL until APD is gone, we could see an explosion in routes, both sun and city, if and when that happens.
 
I saw a post online earlier today that the Captain of the first Ryanair Malaga flight a few weeks ago hails from Lantwit Major and used to work for BMI baby and I think was based at Cardiff.
 
Ryanair CAA stats for May 2019
Barcelona 2426 152 passengers per flight with a total LF of 80.2% of seats onsale.
Malta 2950 163 passengers per flight with a total LF of 86.7% of seats onsale.
Faro 3267 (guestimate) 181 passengers per flight with a total of 96% of seats onsale.
Tenerife South 1754 175 passengers per flight with a total of 92.8% of seats onsale.
Roughly 10,937 passengers used Ryanair at CWL in May.
 
Vueling have released Summer 2020 for Malaga and Mallorca and I'm really hoping that the reductions are in response to Ryanair taking Malaga all summer round and launching Mallorca when they release Summer 2020.
 
How would Vueling know that Ryanair are planning to expand and why would they back down so quickly after so many successful years at Cardiff? Is the airline it’s self decreasing operations throughout its whole summer 2020 program or just at CWL?

Maybe they've been tipped off? Ie seen slot allocations or something?
I believe Cardiff is the only UK destinations they operate from these airports.
 
I don't know when they did this but Ryanair seem to have shifted the Thursday flight to Fridays for the winter. The route will operate Mondays and Fridays. It maybe that was how it was released and i just missed it.
So we'll see Ryanair flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays through the winter. I had a quick look at the prices for Malta and they seem to average around £25 one way through the winter.
 
Reported on ***Links to other Social Media platforms are not permitted***- that Ryanair will close its Faro base in January 2020.
So will be interesting to see if it gets taken over by Malta Air or if airports like Cardiff will lose the route.
 
So unless Ryanair open a base at Cardiff it sounds like the Faro flights will be lost.
2019 is not being kind to Cardiff airport!
