Typical! This years summer holiday saw me stateside using AA. When I started the planning of it AA54 was a 787, then when I booked it it became a 763, and by the time I flew it was a 752!
Buyer beware!
From experience having been on plenty of early morning DUB-MAN flights with EI I'd say there are plenty connecting onto the MCO and LAS Virgin flights out of Manchester.
I was on the AA54 out of Chicago on Saturday night (3 spare seats in J).
The 752s previous flight was AA2535 from DFW-ORD.
I checked of FR24 to see if it flew that leg yesterday but can't find a mention. Anyone got better access who can check?
I was on yesterdays AA735 to PHL. Imagine my surprise when I woke up to see if the 734 had departed and it showed an A321!
Flight was a little late, nothing major, made it up cross the Atlantic.
The most impressive thing was that I was at my hotel downtown less than an hour after landing...
My MH flight from KUL to MAN back in May 2000 remains my longest ever logged flight at 14hrs 40 mins!!
Thankfully it was on a 777 with a bulkhead economy seat.
Not sure I'd fancy it in a squeeze-em-in Air Asia X A330 or one of their 350s on order. Six hours from KIX-KUL was fine, I doubt I'd...
I'm on the reverse AA735 MAN-PHL next month and currently the seat map shows half full in J class. Not looked at the rest of the plane as yet
Coming back from ORD on a plane that started out as a 787 then a 763 and now a 752! Again the seat map shows half led the seats have been selected.
Listen I'm all for the MAN cheerleading that you do, but to complain that CDG and AMS get services from an airline that doesn't serve Manchester, just seems like moaning for the sake of it.
Not really, they've downgraded to a 752 from a 763 for all of June and a little of July. Seems to me they are just about holding their head above water on the route.
You can add the recently announced Royal Air Maroc service to Casablanca.
I can't see 2017 bringing us any new routes to the US or EU because of the issues mentioned above. However it could bring us more niche routes further afield, just not as many as we enjoyed in 2016.
