Perhaps they’re only going there once!

La Palma is rather up market compared to Gran Canaria !

It also very much a winter destination popular with Germans and weather much better

Depending on which parts you go to we visit twice a year to Puerto Mogan pretty much evenly split between British and Norwegian/Scandinavians with a good sprinkling of Irish a lovely quiet family /adult resort we are going in April and October from BHX of course, La Palma is nice also, don't understand your comment re the weather

Primera Air fly to La Palma and Gran Canaria (Las Palmas) so that is why La Palma is on there website. Its still shoddy work from BHX. The team at BHX should be well aware of the destinations that Primera Air will be serving so my annoyance still stays im afraid Matt

La Palma avoids much of water that drops from the sky’s between November and February in Northern Grand Caneria and Tenerife.

Primera from BHX is Las Palmas NOT La Palma - 100%

Yeah we know Ian, thats why the quote is shoddy work from BHX. Do they not get there stuff double checked by other people before posting ?

Really ?? But why ?? I dont mean to sound sarcastic here but if there is a deep depression over this part of the atlantic it would just engulf the entire group of islands including La Palma so i dont understand why this particular island would be saved from this weather.

Anyway i think we are going slightly off topic

Airbus flew an A321LR on a record flight of 4109nm from Seychelles to Toulouse.

Not that I'm getting my hopes up but Birmingham to Orlando is roughly 400nm less.

That's why the vast majority of the tourist resorts are in the south then, as I said depends on which parts you go to.

Lol

That'll be the same expert team that informed us that there were no direct flights to Orlando.

Was the 321LR carrying a payload of any kind do you know Ray?

Apparently the equivalent of 180 passengers.

 

[rollo]

Thanks, so Orlando might just be possible at least in summer.

 

[Ray Finkle]

I'm not qualified to say for sure but it appears so, although it could be right on the limit?

Some stats based on the above

A321neo Range = 4,800 Miles / 4,100 NMiles (11 Hours)

Speed = 430 mph / 370 nmph

BHX - MCO = 4,250 Miles / 3,700 NMiles

Difference = 550 Miles / 400 NMiles / 1:15 hrs of flying time.

Ok this flight was a test flight and may not be an official Range but if it were, carrying over an extra hour of fuel would be more than enough to overcome the considerations you discuss!

Other potential destination in that range?!

BHX-ATL = 4,200 Miles
BHX-MBJ = 4,600 Miles
BHX-ORD = 3,800 Miles
BHX-CUN = 4,800 Miles (pushing it)
BHX-DXB = 3,500 Miles
BHX-ATQ = 3,900 Miles
BHX-DEL = 4,200 Miles
BHX-GOI = 4,700 Miles (pushing it)
BHX-NBO = 4,300 Miles
