It was announced today that Flybe will be commencing and all year round service from Bournemouth to Manchester starting on the 27th May. Flight times will be at 1205 Monday to Friday, and a flight on Sunday morning at 1140. This service will open up various options for onward flights to Corfu and other destinations from Manchester, rather than going to Gatwick by road. I shall certainly be looking into it. At a quick glance it links up nicely with Easyjet.

All new flight routes are good news, this one is a good link up for the Easyjet from Manchester which leaves at 17.30hrs on monday, friday & saturday, leaving just a few hours to kill between flights. How does it work out for your return Chris, the Corfu to Manchester gets in about 00.45 hrs. Pete.

According to the Flybe website, the return flights to Bournemouth from Manchester on the Monday and Friday are at 1040am. No flights down on a Saturday. This will mean a 10 hour wait at Manchester, but I am sure one could find somewhere to get a few hours sleep, with a breakfast to follow. No doubt movement will start at around 8.30am. I think the price, specially if going flight only would out weigh the waiting time.

You're probably right Chris, saving maybe £100 would be worth hanging around for a bit, just keep your new better half away from the shops. ;D pete.

I worked out at around £100 saving, maybe more when one takes in car park fees, or alternative transport to the airport. £5 in a cab for us to Bournemouth. Hopefully the shops would be closed on the return trip back, so just keeping Elaine away during the afternoon outbound wait. ;D ;D
