B738-PMI-9.00-BHX-10.40-JER-11.25-BHX-14.25-

If you look at PMI timings on Tuesday,Thursday and Sundays you’ll notice the difference

What is it W patterning with?

Them PMI timings look odd and it appears, having done a quick search it's only BHX with the 0900 PMI departure (which would suggest an 0800ish arrival into PMI, which means around a 0500 departure from BHX).

W pattern is like where a multiple of airports use a base airports based aircraft for example

PMI-BHX-JER-BHX-PMI

It looks like a W patterned route

But Jet2 don't have a base in PMI and there are no, at present, other timings like that for UK bases. Literally only BHX.
Plus the evening flight doesn't go till late.

BHX aircraft so not a W pattern !

BHX aircraft so not a W pattern !

Could you please explain how it’s a BHX aircraft please?

 

[Karl C]

İt's not important whether it's a W pattern flight or not, so long as BHX gains the route

Oh yeah it’s great to see.I’ll wait abit longer to see if time changes happen bit like EGC has already.Still convinced it’s a W rotation

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Jet2 do not have a PMI base.

And they won’t have early enough departures from UK to be back for 1040. That’s around a 0430 departure from UK.

Your example given would be away based flying. The true definition of a W pattern would for example be:
LBA-JER-BHX-JER-LBA with BHX being the middle of the W.

Have received an email from Jet2 notifying me that our flights will now be operated by an A321 and they have had to alter our seats accordingly as it was originally a 737. Are the seats on the A321s as bad as people make out? Our flights in October are also on the 321! 😬

It will be down to personal opinion, but for me yes. Legroom is terrible, and the seats themselves are very uncomfortable.

Last year I had a couple of trips with one leg B738 and the other A321 and the difference was very noticeable.

I'll tolerate it for anthing around 2 hours, but longer than that and I've chosen other airlines if the Jet2 flight is the A321.

Circa 3 hours to AGP wasn't too bad but the 4hr 45min to LPA was uncomfortable to put it lightly. Lovely aircraft though and a little stretch of the legs every so often helped.

5 new routes for summer 2027
Bergerac,Sharm el sheikh,Hurghada,Kavala and Jersey.

What else could be on the cards?

La Palma,Paris?

 

[Ray Finkle]

La Palma,Paris?

Could take or leave Paris as we've got capacity already.

La Palma is the one I want as it's currently unserved.
