Leeds Bradford: Jet2 Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[AirBingley]

Having moved to in particular the cruise industry but to an extent packages its all about the critical 'balance due' date and low deposits mean cancellations in some cases which can free up late availability space - some cruise lines have backed away from this as it upsets too many regulars but airlines need to 'fill em'.

My son and his wife have just booked return flights from LBA with Jet2 to Ibiza in October next year for £203 for the pair of them. Triple the price for the same dates flying from Manchester!

£203 seems more than reasonable to me. If its triple the price at MAN they must be giving them away over there.

£50 each….each way, that's cheap!

 

[Finger66]

£203 in Jet2's bank earning them interest or usable towards other things as necessary. Also goes some way towards healthy forward planning as to how specific flights may be selling, or are going to sell. Lot of logic in enticing customers early

Not clear that statement as I read that the prices 3 times higher at MAN not that they are
3 times less

Now you mention it, yes, it could read either way.

 

[Len Fish]

For clarification the price was three times more flying from MAN.

For clarification the price was three times more flying from MAN.

Which sort of destroys the argument that its always cheaper from MAN. Clearly not always.

Boo! I really like the A220. Great looking aircraft.

Be nice to have air Baltic as a regular, am sure they could make some routes work out of LBA

How it'd be good to have them on Vilnius... we've been sorely missing that route for a while, RYR made it work brilliantly. Think we've got Riga covered though, which would be the obvious choice

Air Baltic can`t make anything pay at the moment and are reducing the fleet by 20 or so aircraft this winter as quite a few are in store at present

Pretty sure Vilnius to Leeds would pay. Ryanair flights were generally full on a larger aircraft. I dont understand why neither Wizz nor Baltic have given it a go before now given the passenger numbers Ryanair had.

Good news is that this appears to have changed and is now staying to operate flights tomorrow.

Currently down to operate the LS271/2 LBA-ALC spin at 07:00 then the LS265/6 LBA-AGP at 15:45

Likely as there’s still 2 737-300s tech.

Not sure whether there is anything in it or not, but tonight, someone in Blue Sky Aviation's live stream at LBA, stated that having spoken to Jet2 staff on the South Side, there is talk of A321s at LBA from next March (not NEOs).

Well we shall see. If 2 x 733s are retiring, we need a couple of something to replace them.

I suppose that would be good in terms of passenger uplift but they are just as noisy as the 737 800's, which wont please the airport.

Nope. I posted a comment about the video, which I had out on their Facebook page, but my comment wasn't read out. The ones before and after were, so it seems that maybe there is a policy of not mentioning anything viewed as possibly contentious. Normally, I would say my comment was just missed, but it has happened each time I have posted about it, which seems a bit of a coincidence.
