New Routes thread

[FlyGLA]

EZY's GLA schedule is a riot. I had to fly BRS-EDI a couple of weeks ago due to the first BRS-GLA flight not being until the afternoon. 0 flight in the AM then there are 5 flights in the PM.

easyJet have added routes to PRG, RAK, FUE and ACE from the start of the winter schedule.

Sadly all routes either operated or announced by other based airlines with the only net gain being Prague from S25

Yes, it looks like a pretty obvious attack on LS, particularly given the head to head same day ops on RAK and PRG, I don't believe that's an accident! How long before LS quietly drop these routes?

As usual it's always one step forward and two back with EZY, because LIS appears to be suspended for W24 (although given the fares over summer I'd be very surprised if it's dropped completely) and we're left with a patchy SOU schedule and weird seasonal BHX schedule which will drive pax - particularly biz pax - eastwards.

I think the chances of getting EZY to launch the likes of MAD and CPH are realistically zero tbh - which make FR all the more important, but that seems like a dead end too.

Realistically, there is a limit to the demand for holiday destinations, and we are now moving back to 3-way competition in the package holiday offerings. So, new services from one tour operator may lead to reductions from others.

I have to agree with this. The domestic schedules are all over the place these days.I'm going to STN in July, leaving on the 0700 from GLA. The only return flight on this day (apart from the a/c going back to GLA) is 2205 ffs. . Come on FR, there's real business available on this one route alone.

Have to agree with you. The Birmingham schedule has been reduced. Southampton went to daily (ish) but every day has a different flight time and some days like Tuesdays and Saturdays had no flights. The fares have shot up too, surprise surprise.

Been saying for a while now that EZY need a good kick up the arse at GLA. Slapdash schedules are no good to anyone. I'm flying to STN (surprise,surprise) on Wednesday 17th July, down on the 0700 departure. I'm obviously not getting the 0855 back to GLA, so the next flight home is feckin' 2205.

Has it always been like this? Was it more consistent before?

I had to use another airline to a different airport from STN as there wasn't any flights to GLA. I notice easyjet don't have a big presence fro STN anymore.

It used to be up to 4 flights per day, possibly 5 at times. EZY have always been vastly outnumbered at STN by FR obviously but still historically maintained a decent schedule for business trips. I can't for the life of me figure out why FR don't operate the route again. I know they did and it was short lived but EZY have all but given it up some days and this usually incurs extra expense for me in the form of overnight stays in hotels costing north of £100 a pop. I'd rather pay £100 to get home at a half decent time.

It was always 3 daily at least, possibly 4 when the STN base was there, as I remember the numbers 210, 214, 216 I'm sure, I know STN now suffers due to EZY not having the brains to not stop flights at high season
