If they start any long haul flights out of BHX at all I think I'll be like

The S19 timetable is now online and no Comiso.

Unsurprisingly it's similar to last year but with an extra Lanzarote (Tue) and two extra Tenerife (Sat, Sun).

Still plenty of time for change though.

I should hope so. This time last year we were not even aware of Monarchs long haul plans.

According to a post on the Bristol forum it seems further S19 announcements are indeed being planned for next month per Ian's post on the TUI thread.

One to watch definitely...

Not sure if it's correct to quote yourself but it sure looks like the Pope is a Catholic, all hopes on Tui now, well maybe Jet2 or even Primera?

 

[jfy1999]

BHX has lost its A320 and will have four A321s operating for this month at least but there are rumours it will continue through the whole summer which would be a nice little bonus.

Morning,

Would anybody know where G-NIKO is at the moment? I read somewhere the remaining non-new painted ones were off to EMA for a respray.
Might it be there?

Cheers

Karl

A320 takes over from this Saturday, so the rest of the summer will see 3 x A321's and 1 A320.

LY-NVX is in full Thomas Cook colours

 

[Ray Finkle]

Winter sees a new Thusday flight to Hurghada taking it up to 4x weekly.

 

[rollo]

I see Scottie Dog has posted on the MAN forum that Thomas Cook are increasing MCO to 13 weekly next summer Grrrr.

That's not an anti MAN dig before anyone starts just frustration.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Well Birmingham will have 30 flights to Florida, sadly that is the total for the whole of 2019.

Ridiculous!

I better stop now as this could go on all night
