On return, I enquired as to how you pay for the parking, to be told you must download an app before you park and follow the instructions? Well, I said, how was I meant to know that? "It's been in operation since May, you'll have a parking ticket from the parking controllers!" I haven't been away since April, how can they issue a parking ticket if they don't know whether I have the app or not? "Well you'll have to take it up with the DoI!!" Aren't you the Doi? Not getting anywhere, I picked up a leaflet and left! Making parking simple said the leaflet, simple for who? A typical IoMG wank fest, I bet they creamed themselves over that new app thingy!

You can pay at the information desk after parking but before flying & they put your registration number into system, it’s been well advertised for several months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A typical IoMG wank fest, I bet they creamed themselves over that new app thingy! what you can do is call at the information desk on arrival at the airport , give your registration and pay for a days parking , My phone wont take the APP its 5 years old , but the lady at the desk is most helpful and you get a proper receipt , I cant believe how insensitive the DOI have become , there are lots of people you cant download the APP ,its a disgrace that we abrogate the operation of our airport carpark to a UK company just because the government couldn't be arsed to collect the money and maintain the system , I just hope the internet crashes one morning and the good and the great commuting all get booked , but I hear the crayonistas at the sea terminal are looking to introduce this parking system right across all the government car parks , incidently the senior civil servants and MHK's have an area of their own where they don't pay , no fairness or justice left in the world ! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually 'from £34.99' and I've flown Leeds - Heathrow a few times with Flybe and paid less than 40 quid each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll require @Chris Thomasto get some cash for it at a guess. I agree, a more conventional system is required. I - like many - have 'parked' for 6 months in the app because its cheaper than checking in multiple times. The airport must be losing a lot of parking revenue.

It saves me money now, but the more the airport loses money the more of our tax money they need to support it. I'm paying for it one way or another. I'd rather the parking was just run properly and then I'd go back to using Athol or Speed Park personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 From pprune: Flybe are back at IOM: BHD-IOM starts 30/10/22 BE606 BHD 1420-1500 IOM (Mon-Fri) BE608 BHD 1805-1845 IOM (Sun) BE609 IOM 1920-2000 BHD (Sun) BE607 IOM 2015-2055 BHD (Mon-Fri) IOM-LHR starts 31/10/22 BE725 IOM 1545-1720 LHR (Mon-Fri) BE726 LHR 1805-1940 IOM (Mon-Fri) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Flights now on sale. Definitely no £35 fares, seems lead-in on IOM-LHR is £71.99 and LHR-IOM is £76.99. Random dates out 3rd Nov, back 8th Nov. Comparable fare which inc 15KG case. Flybe - £184.98 (£148.98 with carry-on only) Loganair - £210.23 I guess from new Flybe's point of view, there's very little need to incentivise lead-in fares so long as their revenue managenent keeps it competitive versus the competition.

I quoted their press release, not really sure what else I could quote without the flights being on sale yet! Calm down. Still a sizeable price difference especially if more than one person travelling and I think it'll cause problems. Are Loganair still leasing their slots from BA too?

Calm down. Yes indeed you did quote their press release which was for a range of destinations not specifically the Isle of Man routes so as ever misleading. For anyone who even begins to understand the airline industry it’s fairly obvious that ticket prices of £35 to Heathrow are never going to happen !
