How funny is this, just as Im talking about Easyjet, they have just emailed me with a change of flight time for my day return plane spotting trip in May 2022. I was meant to go on this flight in May 2020, lol

Hopefully by May 2022 EDI will be back up to almost normal operations

New itinerary​

EZY502​

Depart​ 1hr 15min​ Arrive​ Birmingham​ Edinburgh​ ​ ​ FRI 06 MAY​ FRI 06 MAY​ 08:20​ 09:35​

I wouldn't be surprised to see PMI, AGP and/or FAO, especially after recent articles suggesting expansion in Europe.

Not sure about CFU, I think it did okay considering the circumstances but it's whether they can accommodate it without a BHX base. NQY will be a big loss if it's gone.

Sorry to see them drop Jersey, although I suppose it was inevitable. Went over half term and the flight was full both ways. Be nice to have them back, although keeping Newquay would be rather nice too.

If Flybe2 happens Jersey and Newquay are tailored made for the DH8.

Summer 2023 holiday on sale and the only option from BHX is AMS !
So no Palma etc - yet ?

And now Flybe are back, I suspect Easyjet will continue its expansion at airports like BRS where they have alreday added an extra aircaft for 2022 whilst at BHX there is talk of an extra 1 route to PMI if we are lucky.

The exact reason why I see the return of Flybe as an irritant rather than a with high fares and plastic props buzzing around.

 

[IanFarquharson]

Yes aircraft number 17 for Bristol - nice !
No sign of any BHX expansion any time soon.
Cant see Flybe2 having any impact on any EZY decision at BHX

 

[Paulsstrange]

EZY is away based at bhx so it will depend on when all those other bases are confirmed, my personal view is s23 earliest for any type of bhx based units

you can now use easyJet flights out of BHX to connect onto Virgin services. The example they cite is BHX-MO in July.

What you do is this....


easyJet departs Birmingham at 07:50 arrives Manchester 09:05
Virgin Atlantic departs Edinburgh 11:20 for Orlando 16:15
Virgin Atlantic departs Orlando 18:45 arrives Manchester 07:30+1
easyJet departs Belfast at 09:30 arrives Birmingham 10:35

Have taken a screenshot of this before they change it

I think you mean dept BHX arr EDI not MAN !
I would prefer a Virgin aircraft actually at BHX - but little chance of that despite the demand being here.

I'm baffled!
The return route would seem to indicate MCO - MAN - BFS - BHX (although I've net checked flights to see if the times work). I can't see many people being happy to do that.

Just get in the car and drive to MAN / LHR :-(

 

[David_itl]

Its got to be one of the biggest PR errors by an airline. There's no way you could do either suggested route if you have a "missing link" to negotiate before the final flight.

It's definitely got to be BHX-EDI-MCO return MCO-BFS-BHX

Ian,

David isn’t the one who made the error, that is exactly what the Virgin press release states as an example routing. And hence why he has pointed it out as rather baffling.

Malaga & Majorca have appeared on the drop down list of my easyjet app...

 

[nwoody2001]

Palma will have up to 5 weekly flights, Malaga up to 4 weekly

Let’s hope there’s more to come!

 

[Nethercote2019]
