Just returned from Malta and I was staggered at the amount of new hotels being built up at St Julians at least four under construction including a 400 room Hard Rock Hotel due to open this summer. The island for food , drink and taxis is very cheap and would appeal to the Welsh pocket ...

Probably nothing in this but my company had an invite from Emirates to send a proposal for catering services, we are Cardiff based and have never received anything like this before . It is genuine as the Vendor Procurement offices name is correct and the e mail address stcks up . Fingers...

Munich from Bristol , how excellent, a couple of football weekends coming up next season.

The Holiday Inn Cardiff N is full of them too

This approximates to 8 flights daily throughout the winter, somewhere along the line questions have to be asked by the taxpayers whether propping up the airport is a worthwhile use of ever scarce budget money. There seems to be a conflict of interests between the climate concious in the...

Per the upcoming Swansea Air show,, as the Red Arrows and Memorial Flight are flying both days will there be a chance of one or both overnighting in CWL ?

Even Exeter gets a daily flight, Bristol over two . Shame

When the Welsh Government are advising in a tweet this last hour for everyone in Wales to holiday at home this year and to avoid non essential air travel, this sends out a pretty clear message to airlines that they will be better off basing aircraft where they can maximise revenue.

There is a tread on twitter this morning from a concerned Ryanair pilot who is convince there is going to be a slashing of pilots over the next few weeks. I really hope this isnt the case but he seemed really worried. I know its twitter but there maybe a grain of truth in it.

A week in Sharm in the winter will be great.

With the news for the winter getting worse and the number of flights reducing, I would imagine that like my badly affected business, once furlough has ended there will be a number of redundancies or temporary lay offs as the taxpayer cannot be subsidising staff that literally have nothing to do...

If Wales were independent there would have been no furlough payments, Mr Drakeford admitted this. The consequences would have been horrendous. Wales and Scotland need the economic clout of the union.

Apparently a great place to go ski-ing , very very reasonable for accommodation, passes and food and beer. Would love to see them organise a couple of flights to test the water.
