  Flew Malaga club last week. On both flights they ran out of the non veg meal by row 7. On the return flight we had to have a paneer curry rather than chicken. I like the idea of a choice but really the choice only exists for the first few rows.

    The two options on the menu card for my flight were chicken or fish. I think you need to preorder vegetarian as a special meal to be sure.

  For all short haul flights, eat before you go on, either commercial or in the lounge.

  Why does everyone that strays off topic say ‘sorry’ – as if they mean it?

    Sorry?

  Just flew LHR-GIB in CE and back over the last few days.

  First flight was a cock up food wise. They’d only loaded beetroot salad with cheese for the cabin. Complaint will be made to get some Avios via service recovery.

  Flight back, much better. 4 courses including choice of mains – chicken supreme with gnocchi or miso glazed cod. Good flight back to LHR.

  OT, but driving me nuts! Trying to decipher the new BA timetables from MAN. The Saturday flight to Ibiza leaves at 19:30 hours, returning to MAN at 00:05 hours the following day (Sunday). However, the return flight from Ibiza on a Saturday leaves at 10:45 hours, arriving at MAN at 12:30. There is no corresponding MAN departure to explain how this flight gets to Ibiza in the first place.

  Where does this flight originate from – I thought all the MAN flights used the same plane?! Sorry if I am being really thick and missing something obvious – but even the BA schedule shows 3 outbound flights and 4 inbound which shouldn’t theoretically be possible.

    I think the idea behind the new routes was to make use of (LCY?) planes that weren’t being used over the weekend? – fairly sure I read that in the original article Rob wrote

      logic fails when you assume BA MUST provide both outward & return flights in equal quantities

      they probably do though

      Correct. City Airport shuts for 24 hours and in any event the demand is not there to fill all the planes BA needs midweek.

        From what I can work out the aircraft does LCY-IBZ on the Friday and then MAN-IBZ on the Saturday morning

        I am assuming this is to provide a spare aircraft in the UKm as the schedules are very tight. I am guessing it then positions down to LCY on Sunday when it reopens from wherever it ends up (or operates the MAN-LCY flight leaving that aircraft to position)

        Bit weird to have more seats one way than the other, but in this day of skyscanner and one-way tickets people are mixing and matching anyway to best suit their schedule, so no big deal

          IBZ-MAN***

  The new routes with BRS, BHM, MAN and STN are all interlinked, so if you want to understand the schedule you need to look at all of them.

  I think MAN was planned to operate with one aircraft but obviously they’ve put a slip in somewhere, probably for schedule robustness. Or maybe just the flights are different week by week and your ‘out’ doesn’t correspond with your ‘return’. Without knowing your exact dates we can’t check to be certain.

  • Anna says:

    The flights are the same every week. An extra flight from LCY would explain it, however if they are doing all the MAN flights with one plane, then it is scheduled to be returning from Alicante at the same time that it is supposed to be returning from Ibiza!
