Probably thin on numbers. Be a bit chilly ?
Completely opposite going to Canary Islands. Look at todays Jet2 out of Glasgow. They have doubled up on flights to Tenerife and Lanzarote at virtually last minute. Mega busy in the afternoon.
I'm heading to Tenerife next Saturday.

Forecast for Mallorca for next week is 25C and sunny but that’s not a guarantee at this time of year. I’d be more pissed off if I was currently in Ibiza and my flight home tomorrow was going to drop us off in Mallorca and then pick up punters there for the flight on to Edinburgh. It’s irritating but not the end if the world.

Travelling with Jet2 to Mallorca from Edinburgh tomorrow. Just received text and email saying 

We’re sorry, but due to the ongoing uncertainty caused by the UK Government travel restrictions, we’ve made adjustments to our flying programme for 10th October 2021 As a result, we wanted to let you know that your flight will now operate via another airport to drop off and/or collect some customers.

To cut a long story short now flying Edinburgh to Ibiza, some punters get off there we stay on flight and once some folk have got on we head on to Mallorca. It's being labelled as a last minute change but I'd noticed that the flight times had changed at least 10 days ago and had queried it on line at that time but got no response.

Clearly it's a sound commercial decision but have to say I'm somewhat pissed off by it.

We got the same situation a few weeks ago going to Majorca. They combined the flight with Menorca passengers but fortunately we landed first at Majorca before it went on to Menorca. Makes sense for Jet2 to combine their Balearic flights.
Anyway, relax and enjoy your holiday. 
Currently with Jet2 in Falaman.

Beats them doing an Easyjet, cancelling flight all over the place that they probably never intended to fly, sometimes months in advance. My theory is that they're scheduling loads of flights they don't intend to honour to hold onto airport slots and routes.

Sounds familiar.  There are even a shortage of blood tubes at present thanks to good old brexit.

Well done all who voted for it you xenophobic thick c***s.  A pox on you.

f**k right off with posts like this.

 

Err, surely this person must know that the Rona doesn't spread when people are eating and drinking? Only if they are sitting still, entering a premises, or get up to go for a piss - hence why masks are required in these situations. It's called 'The Science'.

I think its just going to be the way the low cost carriers work for a while now until more are flying again. Scottish government havent exactly helped the return to international travel so will be a while.

I had similar problems in the summer. Was originally flying from Aberdeen to Rhodes but TUI cancelled all Aberdeen flights. Not too much of a problem because we had a fair bit of notice and just changed our flights to Glasgow departures. 

1 week to go and that got cancelled as well. Had to quickly organise flights and car park in Manchester. Pain in the arse driving back from Manchester at 2 in the morning on the way back and it was when Nippy tried to ban travel to Manchester. Obviously I just ignored the stupid cow's diktat.

It was worth it in the end because it was the best holiday we'd been on. It was a lot cheaper flying from Manchester as well. Are they offering you any compensation for the longer flight/slightly shorter holiday? 😉

So uncertain, travelling to country that has not been subject to enhanced travel restrictions for quite some time! 

Kudos to whichever nugget in their PR department came up with that blatant lie. It's clearly a commercial decision and nothing else.

Average of 38K cases per day last 4 days.  All 4 nations possibly on the rise again.  Or at best flatlining at a point 10 times higher than Spain, Italy and France.

We're still testing over 32,000 people per day in Scotland and continue to do virtually nothing with the data (not sure hand-wringing and panicking qualifies as doing something).

I long for the day we look back and laugh at the waste of time and money this has all been. Before long we'll be in the pub with our mates (obviously not me as I don't have any) laughing about the time we allowed social scientists, dentists, psychologists and a colourful assortment of other quackery to masquerade across our TV screens as real scientists and did almost nothing to challenge their authority or their ridiculous views about how to control the spread of the virus.

Meanwhile the strict mask wearing and vaccine passport regulating Europeans are already laughing their heads off at us.

Happened to the in laws when they went to Zante in September. Outbound flight stopped off in Kefalonia. Added about 90 minutes on to the flight time, and that's with Kefalonia being right on the same flight path, you normally fly over it going to Zante.

They only found out the day before too.

Can’t they just provide parachutes for those who are getting off at Kefalonia?

Air Scotland (RIP) used to do it all the time as well.
