Flights from Manchester to Barcelona

[bridmo]

Hi all

 

I'm trying to find out which airline we will use for our TA cruise in October? I don't seem to be able to find a direct flight anywhere, does anyone know who NCL use

 

Thanks for any help :)

I think you are a little early for October of next year, though there does seem to be a complete absence of direct flights over the current booking period. Does it have to be MAN or could Doncaster Robin Hood or Leeds/Bradford do? I see you are in Bridlington.

Go to Kayak.com and ask for that route

I found non stops on Monarch, EasyJet and Jet 2

 

Enjoy!!!

Well done Jotabecu!:)

 

I tried Kayak and only got indirect flights for something like £236 in the next few months with nothing that far ahead. You must have the magic touch!

The chances of NCL using anything other than MAJOR scheduled airlines (meaning those like BA, AA, Delta, Lufthansa, etc. etc) are slim and none (unless this is a charter package). The discount carriers RARELY will enter into cruise line contracts. Their margins are just too slim. The LCC's work on a volume basis.

 

Now there MAY be a charter. Otherwise, I would plan on a BA/Swiss/Brussels, etc. etc. flight from Manchester to connecting point to BCN.

Thanks but yes we've booked a fly/cruise flying from Manchester but when I try to find a flight there are only connecting flights to amsterdam etc...

I thought we'd maybe get LHR but they don't arrive in time to connect to the ship.

I was not aware the Easyjet did Manchester.

Think you will find Liverpool or Newcastle, but I may well be wrong.

 

If you tick "NEARBY AIRPORTS" it will give you other airport options

It showed up on Kayak, now I am finding it hard to locate again.

It showed up like flight 7207

I will bet that either deliberately or accidentally you had the NEARBY AIRPORTS ticked and it came up with LPL

You are most likely correct.

 

Only shows Monarch non stop to Barcelona

 

easyJet and Jet2 out of Liverpool.

 

Thanks for the corrections.

I'm flying Manchester to Barcelona in June 2011. They are the only low cost airline that flight direct to the main airport in Barcelona. As far as I can tell they have only one flight a day, 8.00 am to Barcelona and return trip 12.20pm from Barcelona.

Choices at the moment are:

 

Liverpool:

Easyjet depart 7AM

 

Manchester

Monarch depart 8AM

 

Leeds

Jet2 depart 9AM

 

All of these go the main Barcelona airport.

 

However, it is still very early for the October schedules to be available. the LoCo airlines do not usually publish their full schedules until 6 months before. So you may find after March there is much wider choice.

 

Jet2 often do charters for cruise lines, these flights do not show in the schedules.

 

As NCL is booking the flights they will normally go with an airline that has a more usual weight limit for baggage such as 20-23kg, so that would include Jet2 and probably Monarch, but will exclude easyjet - but then again easyjet do not do charters.

A single flight to your destination? So what are your plans if that flight gets cancelled for some reason?
