20 on the flight I took down to LHR on Wednesday. Looked at early trains from Leeds to London, all well over £100 one way. I paid £43 with FlyBe. If this route was advertised this week it would be full!
Flew down to LHR this morning to pay my respects to HMQ. About 20 onboard. Door closed at 0645 but then delayed for 45 mins because the Swissport push back truck had a flat battery 🙄
Poor FlyBe, they can’t win can they. No trains to London tomorrow with LNER. As a result the 0645 looks to be selling quite well. Only trouble is you can’t return as the LHR-LBA flights for this week have been removed from sale because of Heathrow caps on the number of passengers allowed
Just returned from my latest trip to Argentina. It was the SwiftAir ATR on this mornings LHR-LBA. Flight on time. Nice clean cabin. Friendly service. 51 on board. I’d say a good 15-20 were off to the cricket. Heard the cabin crew supervisor talking to one of them as we were waiting for the...
The seat map for my flight north on Saturday morning has changed again…back to a Dash now. Will see what shows up at LHR on the day. You never quite know with FlyBe.
I’ve just checked again and Saturday is definitely showing a 68 seater…with a 1C&D showing. The dash doesn’t have 1C&D. ATR72’s are usually 68 seats aren’t they?
Yeah….I’m so glad I decided to get the train down from Leeds this afternoon. Let’s see if my return flight up to LBA on the 25th operates.
BTW, I’m staying at the Premier Inn T4 and the views overlooking 27L are amazing.
Well I’ve bottled it for my trip to Argentina next week. I’m taking the train to London on Monday afternoon and staying at a hotel at LHR on Monday night. Flight to Miami with BA at 1330 on Tuesday. I just couldn’t risk the Tuesday morning Flybe to connect to BA.
I did have train tickets for...
When I flew to LHR last month I was in the queue for 1hr 30mins. Jet2 staff were calling forward their pax. I saw nobody from Swissport calling Ryanair pax forward and it was only Ryanair pax I saw being told to return to check in because their gates were closed.
Well I’ve done my bit again to support the route. Flying down the night before my BA flight to MIA/EZE next month. Didn’t quite trust the 0645 to connect with the 1415 from T5. Flying back to LBA on a Saturday morning. Land into T5 at 0620 and the LBA flight is at 0945…hopefully should be ok to...
Very quick flight back to LBA. 35mins. This evenings crew had today operated BHX-BHD-LBA-LHR-LBA. They will night stop in Leeds tonight. Then tomorrow lunchtime get a taxi back to BHX…and do the same flights again!
Little trip report for you all from this morning. Got the A1 Flyer from the train station at 0430. About 15 got on which was nice to see. Arrived LBA just after 5 and straight into the queue which was at the Jet2 check in area. I heard no complaints at all in the queue, I think everyone was...
