A lot of people, but nobody's going transatlantic with a 7,000 foot runway and no immigration facilities.

Good man!

I mean from here man, as in Sunderland. You know the standard options are either JFK or Newark

 

[SkippysBoot76]

Gimmick, probably not get approval or pulled after a month. They were threatening a regular route to Reykjavik - lasted two flights.

I suspect there's more demand for New York than Rekjavik.

Amazing country. Not for plebs though.

Would have thought NY is a lot more hassle to run, on account of increased security, larger planes etc.

Only 108 seats in Cattle class..

Won't be many £549 seats available...

Fights have gone up loads. Used to be circa £200-£300 ten years ago. Now I'd say you're looking at twice that from Newcastle even with a stop in AMS OE CDG.

This. Far too expensive. Should be £300 tops.

Why are flights so expensive nowadays?
