Emily from Surfshark needs to chill the hell out. This is the 3rd email constructed like this and makes it look like I’m having a flipping affair! 😂

Looking at some loads for flights today, and majority of the long haul flights from Manchester are going out completely full today. Irrespective of whether it’s the summer holidays, the fact flights to routes like Orlando are full to the brim means high costs in the USA isn’t an issue for some….

Emirates will not be adding its 4th daily flight to Manchester this winter, due to its lounge in terminal 2 being significantly delayed (EK issue versus a MAG one).

It’s expected they will begin the 4th flight in time for the S26 season instead.

Don’t forget. Manchester has this beauty coming in tomorrow. Possibly the first time ever JAL have touched down at MAN (may be wrong but can’t remember a previous visit).

The ban on Pakistan carriers serving the UK has reportedly been lifted. I expect Manchester to gain 2 returning carriers within the next few days/weeks at most.

Is Manchester about to have another eastern link ticked off tomorrow?….

Air Help have released its ‘best airports’ list.

It’s worth noting Air Help are a compensation company, so most if not all people dealing with it are going to be ‘unhappy’ at a delay, so should be no wonder that it skews the results for the ‘rest of the experience’.

A flawed survey indeed.

It appears Norse are about to have even more Manchester presence, on behalf of another operator.

So now that’s 5 routes using a Norse aircraft for 4 different operators including Norse themselves.

I know I posed a question of ‘should I return to X’ the other day, but after seeing:

‘@grok is this true?’

after almost any flipping question on that app, makes me think ‘nah Im good thanks’.

It’s insufferable!

Do what's right for you mate loved your updates but also understand how frustrating it must be for others to take what you learnt and repost as their own

So, going forward my feeds will be just the way they are. Quiet, but feeding info to the people who do want ‘the glory’ (and that’s not taking the micheal out of anyone btw). But I thought I’d just say why it’s quiet and what the state of play is. Have a good night all!

Arguments about plagiarism and so on.

Now, I do give a lot of news behind the scenes, so even if I’m not credited, I can sit back in the knowledge I’m still contributing to the feeds, and that’s enough for me. I’m in the industry, I’ve made my bed and no longer have to impress anyone….

A thread:

So, I know this (and my insta) account has been quiet for a while now.

Some of that is down to a lack of newsworthy items to post, but part of it is also wondering how to progress in a very crowded market for routes news. There are so many accounts posting news now that there is….

Not much else to report, so, here’s MANs latest list of route targets. It’s behind a paywall so for those who can’t read it, it’s pretty much the usual suspects:

Let’s hope it is a success!
