Very odd to see such short notice of the official launch of these flights, just 1 month, I do hope that their expectations will be tempered that it would be unlikely to be full to bursting loads as people would have already sorted out their travel plans for the summer.

Plenty of leisure passengers make plans at the last minute and equally last minute travel planning is more prevalent in the business sector so don't think lead-in time here is a problem. I expect this route to do well

We are seeing an upgrade in aircraft for the holiday period to a B789 on select flights.

Route is performing incredibly well, could we be seeing an increase in frequency in S26…

Has it been a very high yield route? I’m pretty astonished at those prices… those are typical of flights to the USA!

I would guess at yes as that is why route is going 10 weekly from summer

Very good forward bookings for MS795/796.

Expecting it to return for the Winter travel peak this year rather than the 789 operating the MS781/782.
