  I don’t know if it was deliberate (maybe to ensure people read the article in full to be aware of the airlines financial situation) but there’s no link to the Flyr website in the article.

  Interesting that Flyr block the middle seat in the first few rows, Club Europe style, although the cost is around £63 to select one. (Normal seat £17, exit row £21 on the flight I checked)

  Whole thing prices in Norwegian Krone even if departing UK, at least on the mobile site

  I was very underwhelmed with Oslo as a summer destination. It rained every day I was there (July), was jaw-droppingly expensive and other than the Opera House not particularly attractive.
  Norway has stunning natural scenery but Oslo doesn’t have much to offer.

    That’s not true. You just didn’t do your research properly I guess, plenty of things to see and visit, even on rainy days. My partner and I spent quality time there in late May and were pleasantly surprised with all the sights and places we visited and saw

  Braathens is only “defunct” because it was acquired by SAS in 2004. The use of “defunct” makes it sound like they went out of business which seems a bit unfair.

  The Braathens name is one long associated with aviation in the Nordic region. It’s a shame the Flyr venture isn’t proving as successful as Braathens.

  How come I only ever get offered 80% from IHG? I actually do need to buy some today as I can make a substantial saving on a room rate!

  I believe today is also the last day for buying double Hilton points, but that’s based on memory of an email warning it was ending soon, so double check.

  I’m interested in flying to these Flybe destinations, but with Flybe’s reputation for announcing destinations then cancelling a fortnight or so before launch…

  It’s a real risk booking prepaid accommodation.

    I came here to say the same thing !

    Instead of “a new route has been announced” … Flybe has announced that it may fly to Bergerac if enough bookings materialise … if not, the route will be cancelled (possibly days) before launch.
