Yea! Just remember that member said last year Ryanair were about to move all operations from Bristol to Cardiff, everything should be done to keep London city and Thomas Cook were about to launch Orlando. He was the reason I stopped commenting on there as all he wants to claim rumours as fact...

There are a lot of people who seem they want this route to fail. If the cargo uptake is as big as people think then they will need the 787. Maybe it will evolve into a mix of 787 and a321NEO

Drove it last year. Cardiff to Gdansk. 3 tanks of fuel there and back plus £80 for the ferry. Flying there from Stsndted next week £200 return for 2. Bristol was £600!

Looking good. Sadly lots of people saying the flight prices will be going to pay for it. Shame the airport is struggling to shake off this image but some people don’t understand and some people won’t listen.

They are dowm to one route at Bristol now Katowice. When I first started traveling to Gdansk it was handling 700,000 the same time BMIBABY were operating, its now going for 5 million this year. I think there is huge potential for a few routes at 2 weekly and with 280 planes on order and their...

Off to Gdansk in 2 weeks. We travel here 5 or more times a year and quite often from Bristol with Ryanair although we have used KLM from Cardiff a few times. It always amazes me how may polish people on the flight are from South Wales and it has always got me thinking. We know BMIBABY made a go...

I’m sure there’s more behind this route than just passengers. I think there is a lot of politics between the countries going on in the way of business deels to.

Back a few weeks ago there was a post showing the layout. It looked like the airbridge will be able to move to two stands allowing the current stand set up to be used or changing it when a widebody is on the bridge

As somebody who works on the A350 I can’t wait to see it at Cardiff. I guess it will be on the new airbridge so will be easy to see from the road?

The 787-8 is comparable to an a330-200 as where the the a350-900 is comparable to a 777-200 and the a350-1000 is comparable to a 777-300

Yep and the retweeted by Qatar twitter feed. Nice little treat for Cardiff and will look good in front of the media.

Would TUI want all of the agro of flying the aircraft to Cardiff when they can just sell this route from Bristol. As we know people will travel for long haul flights. Realistically I think Thomas Cook is the only operator that makes sense.

This news is far better than a weekly Orlando flight. If Cardiff wants to secure an Orlando flight I think it’s far better coming from Thomas Cook oR Virgin now they have A330-200 to compete against TUI

Thanks Jerry. Nice to see a proper air bridge back that can kneel right down

Do you have the link to the photo Jerry?

I think putting it on 9 would be a good idea. Meaning that Thomas Cook and Vueling continue using 10, then 9 and 7 can be used for anybody like klm, TUI and Flybe if they ever wish.

What was the airbridge status Jerry. When we were there in end of feb looked like new foundations were going in.

A year ago we were traveling to Norway when all the welsh fans were traveling to Rome and there was a lot of security staff with Bristol airport shirts on.

More likely things like roads like 5 mike have 7 foot drifts on them and are closed meaning crews can’t get to the airport. Easy for Vueling to operate as long as the airport is open. Also TUI only need to get one crew to the airport not 3 sets like Flybe.

Looking at the forecaste can’t see much moving in and out over the next few days. Looks like there is potential of some serious snow.
