Just wandered if anyone knows why the major delays to the Strategic flights yesterday? Got quite depressed when I looked online yesterday, 'our' flight booked through Olympic should have left Gatwick at 0940 and eventually left at 2230 and the Manchester flight scheduled for 0715 went at 1700 !!! Hopefully this will not be repeated next week.

I think it was worse than that ,,I am sure the Manchester flight did not leave till 19:45 and the Gatwick was not airborne till 06:15 on Thursday we no doubt will hear in a few days and maybe get the reason.There was very few problems with them last year OK old planes .Well I just checked todays flights ex Manchester and Strategics plane thats based there left for Skiathos 26 minutes late so looks like Manchester back on track,Gatwicks Skiathos flight with them scheduled for 10:25 today.Well lets all hope this was a one off and all goes great with Rhodes flights the rest of the season

Hi Lisa
Your information on last Wednesday's flights are not good news hopefully all will be sorted by next Wednesday, particularly as the Manchester flight times have been altered significantly on the homeward journey.
Look forward too seeing you again when we eventually arrive on Halki next week.

I checked at 7am today the status of Saturday Strategic flight to Rhodes well at that time the info for 7am flight was departing 14:35 I wonder if people were informed before leaving house.There is no late incoming flight so is the delay caused by crew availability

After last weeks delays it was nice to see Rhodes flights all leave on time today hope this keeps up all season.

Main outfit in Australia has gone bust. Don't hold out a lot of hope for the small UK arm. Three slightly aged planes, one of which was standing on an out stand at Gatwick last week all wrapped up.

Jet 2 to Leeds was good last wed, only 3 of us on flight. Mine was a freebie on points too... Shame I had booked extra legroom seats !

Re only 3 pax to Leeds on Jet2 last Wed - I guess the reason was that the outbound flight was the first of the summer season? Also the return leg appears to have been an abnormal time (2250 scheduled to arrive Leeds-Bradford at 0055). So not a "normal" Wed flight.

Correct, all Jet 2 first of the season. Ours was 4pm though. Steward said all of their flights that day had no more than 9 on return trip. Now I need to book out on the last flight of the year to get my set ! Sorry to have missed you sth, Mike fed me alchohol till Halki was in darkness. Tues not a good day.

No worries. I saw you only as you vanished aboard! Another time.

Strategic was all fine out and inbound so let's hope that they continue. Went mad and paid an extra £18 each for extra leg room on the way out, thought we'd begin the holiday in some sort of style!! Independant flights to book for September now so off to trawl the net.
