Not to mention that some time ago they were "very optimistic" about re-gaining a direct link to NYC. Haven't heard much about that since, although I suppose it might be a bit too early for spring route announcements yet? (Here's hoping)

Oslo? That's fantastic. Just missing Stockholm then :) Now that easyjet fly to Vienna, Bratislava probably doesn't make so much sense any more, Vienna is too close and much better connected regionally.

The web booking engine offers flights on Thursday+Sunday though, not Monday/Friday.

I was wondering: what's the situation like in terms of aircraft stands? How many aircraft are parked at the airport overnight on a typical day? And how much more space is there to accommodate additional jets? At first glance it doesn't look like there will be any additional stands on the eastern...

Are you saying it would not be possible to fit them now? Legally? Or just because no provision has been made at the time and there's not enough space? I would be very surprised if that was so, and I seem to remember claims that passive provision has been made.

To be fair, my impression is that chit-chat by SLF and enthusiasts is frowned upon as somewhat off-topic in said other forum. Besides the usual moaning about charging for drop-off and pick-up and trolleys and such in the Bristol Post forum, the main complaint seems to be the lack of...

The short video clip on the BBC Bristol website made it sound like the roof terrace would feature a bar for hoi polloi and a premium restaurant. There was a mention some time ago that the extension will feature a second executive lounge which according to the airport will be "a more premium...

The new airport website certainly has a fresh look, and it looks nice and works well on my mobile devices, but on the desktop it looks very confusing, all those squares, floating menu bars horizontal dividers, I actually thought my browser messed up at first. Weird. It also appears there's a...

As I understand it, these additional closures will be around days where there's a closure anyway due to Green Capital events. The Portway gets closed for other occasions as well, and also when there are accidents. The A369 route is pretty straight forward really, the difficult part is making...

Interesting comments on that photo thread too: the lounge is not going to replace the existing Aspire lounge, but will be a "more premium" second lounge. There must be something in the works to justify that (not sure if the current mix of routes does?).

There appears to be some ground preparation / construction work in the south-western corner of the main car park - is that already for the hotel, or completely unrelated? Looks a bit small, but in the right area if I'm not mistaken.

Will there be interlining in MUC, MXP, DUS, and/or CDG?

One strange thing I noticed: the journeys that include a transfer onto the A1 at Bristol Bus Station include 30 minutes transfer time, when that service runs ever 8-9 minutes during the day. That seems rather a lot and a bit unfortunate, since 1:58h would probably look much better than 2:18h...

It's going to be NationalExpress according to the airport's twitter post: I don't know about Wales, but I think in general NationalExpress has much more brand recognition than Greyhound. Also, this is only Cardiff - Newport - Bristol Airport, without the Swansea - Cardiff bit, which must have...

It was based on an article in bristol-business.net.

Who's brilliant idea was it to call this A2 instead of, say A3, A5 or whatever? If I'm not mistaken there used to be an A2 service into the centre that would run along Anchor Road, and there are still websites that imply A2 is a valid option to get into Bristol city centre.

Certainly hope the snow situation is going to improve a little, flew into Geneva on Sunday and it was the lushest green as far as the eye could see, poor skiers

Maybe that needs to be read in conjunction with Cardiff Airport to get loan fund of up to £13m to attract new airlines. £3.5m in the first year alone! That's much much more than what was deemed to be required as subsidy for a NY route in a report a while back, if I recall correctly. And the...

One question (apologies for straying a little off topic for this thread) is if bmi regional would operate such a route 3-4x per week rather than the 5-7x they do for other destinations. They don't seem to do these 'three times a week' routes, perhaps because they're primarily targeting business...

Shame, I was hoping to use this service again later this year. Zurich Airport has excellent ground connectivity, especially into the rail network. Unfortunately the Wednesday and Friday flights were schedule to arrive quite late this season: with an arrival time of 22.20, you're looking at...
