I'm pretty sure we stopped at Humberside when we did that flight a few yrs back. I wouldn’t know. I went on a 737 a few years ago from Ronaldsway to Majorca with Freedom Travel, which was direct, and it was 20 kg allowance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely a market and it’s not directly cost centric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These flights even with Jet2 the flights are in normal daytime. During the summer, the returning flight lands at Manchester at stupid o’clock.
