I just think fares are a huge issue on that route. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nellie Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 5 minutes ago, lfc84 said: Birmingham LM637 06:50 Cancelled I think they have merged it with MAN, and are going to operate IOM-MAN-BHX-IOM so everyone should get to their destination albeit many rather late. There'll be a knock on to LHR which is already showing an almost two hour delay. Loganair seem incapable of operating their weekend schedules, for whatever reason. It doesn't auger well for the TT period. It's a good job we have easyJet doing all the heavy lifting, and with very few cancellations over the last six months. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Buggane Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) I would not be against aircraft doing a multi hop airport service, if there is a good chance the time table can be adhered. You are just in affect jumping a bus which rarely if ever go direct always via, not sure if the standing at the side of the runway with hand out will catch on any time soon. Especially when you realise that's not the plane you want and turn away pretending you were waving at a friend across the way. Also have to make sure luggage is stowed in correct sequence, in fact it ain't going to work at all. You will find me in a corner keeping quite. 🤐 Edited May 4 by Dirty Buggane 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken a number of the old Manx Airlines schedules started life as a two hop service. It's not ideal, I'll grant you but at least they're making the effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, I don't have the answer but I would have thought that if you don't get off at the first arrival point then you haven't finished your journey and only need to pay the APD to the final destination. No doubt someone will be along shortly to advise us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fares were farcically extortionate. It's as if they don't want anyone to use the service which might be their masterplan. The Island continues to be served by a piss-poor operation that is taking our captive market for a not very frequent and unreliable ride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
