Manchester already features prominently on Jet's homepage.

That same article also suggests that, if a success, Delhi and Amritsar are also possibilities. Daily flights intended from March's summer schedule - which is absolutely fantastic. Bangkok now has to be our top target, with Shanghai high on the list. One would hope the one remaining...

I think it's perfectly reasonable for Jet Airways to go to Manchester, considering Birmingham already has two destinations served by Air India (ATQ and DEL) and Manchester-Mumbai is one of the largest unserved markets from Europe at present. I believe Air India are doing greatly at BHX, with...

Absolutely fantastic news for Manchester! Two winter starting, long haul routes in one week!

The CEO has seemed to suggest that, if a success, Manchester could be de-linked and go direct as early as next year.

A New Route to Manchester: Addis Ababa. The new service will operate 4x weekly, initially via Brussels.

Just been to Antwerp and I second that - brilliant city. Bruges is also extremely popular and notoriously hard to get to by plane but marketing will be needed to raise awareness. A great day for MAN; five new routes!

I changed between MAN-LHR (BA T5) and LHR-PHL (AA T3) last year on one booking and the whole process was relatively easy. You won't collect your bags - instead just follow 'Connections All Terminals' and she will have to catch the airside transfer bus. I did it in just below half an hour.

According to User on PPRUNE, Boston and Seattle will be added in due course. He also expects JFK to increase from the listed six weekly. 8.5 aircraft are expected to be based for long haul.

Further to the above, in addition to expanded frequencies on JFK/ATL this winter, some of the services will be operated by the 747 fleet. Good news - with this we are starting to level out the seasonal capacity fluctuation in JFK and ATL.

On a separate note, Virgin's US website prominently features Manchester:

Baltimore is certainly a bold move. I am more concerned over the invisibility of Boston & Seattle at the moment - this is how Miami got quietly dropped despite reassurances that it wouldn't be.

I don't know on that one. The flights to ATL and JFK are scheduled to be operated by the -300 from Oct onwards.

Two new routes to New Orleans and Baltimore are apparently on the cards for next year.

Virgin seem to be increasing the ops on the MAN-JFK and -ATL routes for this winter. MAN-ATL ops Mon, Wed, Thu, Sat MAN-JFK ops Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sun Although slightly disappointing that this hasn’t increased to daily, an increase is welcome nevertheless. Obviously this cannot be carried...

If it’s good enough for Berlin, surely it’s good enough for Manchester! The UC seats aren’t that bad from reviews I’ve seen and Economy offers a similar product. Maybe the 332s would be better fitted to the Caribbean Gatwick routes?
