“In response to local measures introduced throughout Spain to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including the closure of bars, restaurants, shops and activities including any water sports, we have taken the decision to cancel all flights to Mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands with immediate effect. We know these local measures will have a significant impact on our customers’ holidays, which is why we have taken this decision.

We are contacting our customers who are currently in these destinations, and who are due to travel, to advise them of their options, so we urge customers not to call us.

This is a fast-moving and complex situation and we are reviewing our programme as a matter of urgency, so that we can fly customers back to the UK.

The health and safety of our customers is our number one priority, and we would like to thank our customers for their understanding.”

So that’s 3 of the new routes for S20 now gone. I wonder how many more will be knocked on the head? Or we think all the Greek will stick around given no TC?

Zadar & Tivat but that begs the question, which destination was the 3rd route?.

Zadar & Tivat but that begs the question, which destination was the 3rd route?.

Lisbon.

 

[lbaspotter]

Lisbon.

Ah yeah, forgot about Lisbon.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Ah yeah, forgot about Lisbon.

They canned it few weeks back. Isolated. Along with a few different route pairings (GLA/BHX-BCN and STN-MLA).

I swear they tried years ago and pulled out. With easyJet serving the route also I wonder how they’ll perform.

With Covid19 they probably feel there'll be more demand for routes like Jersey.

It would be nice if Easyjet launched Zurich from Manchester next year. Swiss have the monopoly on this route and it can be costly.

There are one or two posts in the BRS forum that suggest the prices for Jet2 flights and holidays that have recently been put on sale at BRS are noticeably higher than those of easyJet. MAN has a significant Jet2 and easyJet presence. Are Jet2 prices generally higher than easyJet at MAN?

Quick Check for x2 Adults - adding nothing on so base fare.

Jet2 - Monday 5th July OB, Monday 12th July IB.
AM flights - £560 for the couple.
PM flights - £406 for the couple.

easyJet - same dates. No choice of flights (terrible timings)
£361 for the couple.

The trouble is @TheLocalYokel with the press attention and what not coupled alongside the vaccine the website is going to be overloaded with people searching. Algorithms will send the price upwards. I've said it before and I'll say it again, leave it till December time at least then in a couple weeks prices will have come down due to searches not occurring in their highest frequency.
