Quoting EK17 (Reply 1): As we all know, there's CX starting in just over a month, can't wait for that! |
Quoting david_itl (Reply 2): TK boosting capacity around Christmas and New Year with A330s appearing on selected flights (and on a couple of occasion, there will be 2 A330s a day) |
Quoting david_itl (Reply 4): BA A380 G-XLEF arrived around an hour ago on diversion |
Quoting 8herveg (Reply 3): I can see one of these flights going daily all year round, it's very popular! |
Quoting david_itl (Reply 6): Think it's more likely that there will be a 3rd daily flight as TK is trying to emulate EK in creating mulitple banks. It's just a question of when would it operate with 10.25 and 15.25 arrivals at the moment. Potential for it to be a nightstopper or arrive around 2025 with departure around 2125? For comparison, LHR has these night time TK flights: arr 21:00 dept 22.30 and arr 22:15 dept 07.55 |
Quoting 8herveg (Reply 9): Nice. I read on here once that TP were planning on starting MAN-OPO due to the success of MAN-LIS. Two different markets, I'm sure, but any truth to this? |
Quoting 8herveg (Reply 3): Anyone know what the bookings are like? Will we see it going daily anytime next year? |

Quoting Boeing74741R (Reply 19): Interesting about both JFK and ORD being 763 operated in the summer. Given the space constraints, is it going to be possible to accommodate both of these and the PHL A330 at the same time at T3? |
Quoting Richards2K14 (Reply 22): MAN need to do something with T1 first, the queues during the summer months in the mornings are terrible! Too many flights seem to be departing between 6.00-8.00/8.30 and there is always a rush then between security and the gates. Although in September when I went through T2 for a ZB flight, I was at check in for 10 mins but security for 90mins! Ran to the gate where boarding had started! |
Quoting GT4EZY (Reply 26): I'm not entirely sure why people are obsessed with boxing airlines together at, like you say, a non hub airport. |
Quoting 8herveg (Reply 27): It may be a 'non-hub' airport, but there will still be some pax transferring between various airlines and in the case of alliances, there must be some cost-cutting benefits by grouping them together. |
Quoting GT4EZY (Reply 29): What is important is making sure that terminals are not under utilised or indeed put under too much pressure by distributing carriers and flights across the airport as opposed to a vanity project that synchronises tail fins in accordance to an airlines alliance and business model. |
Quoting Richards2K14 (Reply 31): I read a few weeks ago on another forum that T2 was getting extended to allow some T1 carriers in, so T1 Pier C would be demolished and re-built, then the same for Pier B, the main buildings in T1 would have some major work done to allow T1/T3 to join up again and become one large terminal. And then in the long term a possible satellite terminal in between cargo ops and T2. |
Quoting Boeing74741R (Reply 34): That pier wasn't so bad until they put those glass walls up to segregate arriving passengers from departing passengers. What was wrong with just putting up doors at the end of the corridors with big "NO ENTRY" and "ARRIVALS PASSENGERS ONLY" signs? |
Quoting Boysteve (Reply 33): |
Quoting Richards2K14 (Reply 37): Not to mention arriving at gates 23 & 25 (unsure about 21) at Pier C when you have to go down the stairs after exiting the airbridge, just to go back up again! |
Quoting Richards2K14 (Reply 37): • Security • Baggage delivery times • Immigration • Check in (I only put this last as I’ve never had a bad enough experience in this area across all 3 terminals). |
Quoting Richards2K14 (Reply 42): Does the A380 have to backtrack if landing on 05L? RW 23R/05L closed at the end of this month at night? Is this for usual checks etc? |
Quoting david_itl (Reply 43): |
Quoting Danfearn77 (Reply 45): The rumour I had heard was EK were looking at a potential 4th daily with a departure around midnight (or just before). |
Quoting LuftyMatt (Reply 47): I've heard that they are, at least that the plan. This is according to someone who works for them. |
