Flights

Hi all

I have had an email back from BA confirming 23kg for cabin baggage is correct

There is a max bag weight of no more than 23Kg. You must be able to lift your bag into the overhead lockers in the aircraft cabin unaided - if you are unable to do so, you will need to check it in as hold baggage. If checked in as hold baggage, excess baggage charges will apply if it takes you over your free allowance

So sounds like you can check in 23kg as hold then another up to 23kg in cabin. Great if needing to take things out for the apartment.

I notice that Easy Jet are advertising the cheap flights across London, the same flights we cant seem to find on the site surprise surprise lol.

That really annoys me as they send out emails stating flights to Sharm start at £69 but I cant find them. Tried all sorts of dates to no avail.

I also got excited about this and was gutted when I tried to look at availability!
There were a few flights available up to April but they were really over priced at between £250 - £300 each way!!! After April there was nothing at all.
I emailed easyjet to find out if there would be flights from any UK airport to Hurghada from April 08. They sent me a very confusing email back stating that they do not operate flights to Hurghada however I should check the website for information on flightst to Hurghada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have emailed back but am awaiting response. I think the flights that were online up to April are probably the continuation of the old GB AIRWAYS route following the take over but it isnt to be continued beyond April..????
I will post any response I get from Easyjet - if it makes any sense at all that is!!

I just recd this email from easyjet:

From 30th March 2008 easyJet plans to fly the published GB Airways summer schedule under the easyJet brand. On completion of the purchase of GB Airways by easyJet, customers who hold a GB Airways booking involving any travel from 30th March 2008 will travel on an easyJet flight. Alternatively they can claim a refund. Further details will be provided by easyJet once the purchase is finalised.

I regret that I am unable to answer your specific questions (or offer details on how to obtain a refund) until the purchase has been finalised, which is expected in early 2008. Please wait to find more information published on easyJet.com and BA.com.

As for you query about the London Gatwick - Hurghada route, it seems that the route will be available for booking from the 30th March on our website.

I have found flights from the Denver, CO USA to Hurghada for 737.00 USD (370 GBP) round trip at the end of this month. I use a company called www.Kayak.com. I get great flight prices from here to Hurghada.They check all the major sites like, Orbitz, Hotwire, Travelocity, Expedia, and Cheaptickets.com. The search for the lowest. Let us know if it works for anyone out there.

Just had another email from Easyjet regarding the LGW-HRG route:-

Please allow me to clarify the situation with easyJet flights from the UK to Hurghada. Currently you can book a flight on this route for the dates April 04th 2008 to April 25th 2008 only. The schedule for flights after April 25th 2008 has not yet been released.

Generally speaking, new schedules are released two to three months before the end of the existing schedule. The exact date is dependent on confirmation of flight slots from the relevant air traffic control authorities. The next summer schedule (for flights from April to October) is currently being released in batches. It is hoped that all routes will be available soon.

So, we will have to keep an eye on the website and see if the route contiues and if so see if the prices are good on initial release of the seats.... fingers crossed!

Typical with these type of companies, they like to keep us on edge, will they on wont they lower the prices time well tell. But I hope so.

[lovesquadsue]

So do I! We could really do with regular flights from the UK at good prices!
At least everyone knows know to keep a check on the easyjet site. So, if anyones notices anything re the LGW-HRG route we can share the info on here!

Its mad that there seems to be so much demand for flight seats to HRG and so few flights. I looked at flights quite a lot last year and for quite a few weeks from sept onwards last year there were no seats available from Manchester at all!

Maybe we should all chip in and set up and airline with regular flights from UK to all of Egypts main airports - we would only need one plane!
