Thomas Cook schedules a one time Manchester-Odessa flight in Dec with A321 Sharklets

Probably be a Man Utd supporters flight as they play Luhansk on 8th Decrmber

A stunning city indeed, i'm sure the supporters will be pleasantly surprised if they get chance to enjoy it.
Maybe not so in December though!

Looks like TCX are increasing MAN-MCO in August.

Either 8/9 weekly, not sure if this has been picked up or announced yet?

 

[ethanegcc]

Is it bookable?

And, also, any idea when CPT will be announced as MRU already has?

 

[Dobbo]

No idea.

The only thing I've seen I s a fractional increase from 1.0 to 1.2 for the month of August.

I have just checked and it seemed to just be 7 weekly, but that could change.

 

[David_itl]

Didn't they go through this phase of lopping on extra flights to a "known" destination before revealing the new destination?

The second Orlando will be Tuesday's:

MT2604 departs 1015
MT2752 departs 1155

Serious Orlando capacity...

MRU is now bookable in the GDS - although it's right on the very edge of the 330(-ish) day window so I can't see any later to tell whether this is indeed the regular schedule.

First flight 15th Nov:

23OCT17-19NOV17 MTWTFSS MANCHESTER /MAURITIUS
15NOV 15NOV ..3.... MAN MRU 2230# 1405 MT3512 332*C

23OCT17-19NOV17 MTWTFSS MAURITIUS /MANCHESTER
16NOV 16NOV ...4... MRU MAN 1605# 0035 MT3513 332*C

Yes I noticed the flight was on Amadeus earlier on. Supposedly bi-weekly but can't see TCX doing such low frequency, they don't have any other route that does that, so, should be weekly.

I think CPT is a Dec start similar to LGW, it's certainly not showing in Nov yet but know it is 2 weekly through the winter.

Great to hear information about CPT. I expect this will be announced in Jan/Feb?

Just as a heads up, TCX will be having a flash US sale soon:

How long have Thomas Cook had an arrangement with JetBlue?

I'm pricing up flights to Chicago for next summer and now I'm getting TCX offerings via JFK from MAN! Some search engines even place a TCX code on the B6 flight.

Is this a new development? I don't recall seeing it mentioned anywhere before.

 

[User001]

It started a few months ago but now offers a very comprehensive codeshare.

It's also one of the reasons JetBlue strongly rumoured for MAN. The partnership with TCX means JetBlue has strong data on the MAN market and as such, has a good idea of what to offer.

 

[ethanegcc]

JetBlue could possibly be well placed to take over TCX's BOS flights when it receives it's A321NEO but on a higher frequency and route more passengers through B6's BOS hub.

The TCX/B6 tie up in my opinion is extremely good and makes them look like more of a 'professional' airline, rather than a 'charter' which is a view unfortunately some people still hold.

 

[User001]

JetBlue won't take over a route. This is a codeshare, not a joint venture.

2 very different things.

 

[Dobbo]

Good for feed...

A bit more clarity on MRU frequency - at least initially, it is scheduled as fortnightly on Wednesdays.

03NOV17-30NOV17 MTWTFSS MANCHESTER /MAURITIUS
29NOV 29NOV ..3.... MAN MRU 2230# 1405 MT3512 332*C
