Liverpool: Jet2.com Route News & Base Updates

[CM.]

LBA to MAN is the same as the road journey between IST and SAW, two airports serving the same city.

Different catchments however but jet2 seem to have made it work at both airports for years I don’t think there should be an issue with them flying out of LPL

They did also have a base a Blackpool.

I agree it's not simple but the catchment area of an airport most definitely isn't defined by the surface access of an airport, it is defined more by choice and availability. Take for example flights to somewhere like Tenerife. Flights to Tenerife are available from airports throughout the North of England often with choice of more than one airline therefore the imaginary catchment circle ring will be significantly smaller from Manchester airport than if you compare Tenerife with somewhere like Dubai where somebody in say Leeds will have to choose between Manchester or Newcastle for their departure airport.

Just as a look at the catchment area I've picked random weekend to fly to Tenerife in November.

Liverpool - (3 flights)
Friday & Saturday - easyJet
Sunday - Ryanair

Manchester - (22 Flights)
Friday - Ryanair (2), Jet2 (3), easyJet (2), Tui (1)
Saturday - Ryanair (2), Jet2 (3), easyJet (2), Tui (1)
Sunday - Ryanair (2), Jet2 (2), easyJet (1), Tui (1)

Leeds - (5 Flights)
Friday - 2x Jet2,
Saturday - 1xJet2, 1x Ryanair
Sunday - Jet2 x1

Newcastle (7 Flights)
Friday - 2x Jet2 1x Ryanair,
Saturday - 2x Jet2
Sunday - 1x Jet2, 1x Tui

I suspect there will be more flights for next November with Jet2 providing 3 flights over the weekend from Liverpool alone. In total 37 flights from the North so the catchment area has plenty of availability, flexibility and choice. Catchment area clearly can sustain this.

Yes the increases are Paphos, Ibiza, Palma, Znate, Las Palmas, Lanzarote and Tenerife South. Still some gaps in timetabling I believe so could be a few more as yet.

Would that be at the far end of the terminal,near the Ryanair desks, which you used to use to reach Security area?

No the other end, where the desk is for assistance travel.

Years ago it was the way you went to departures past the John Lennon statue. Then they changed it.

https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/air/jet2-extends-summer-2024-season-with-70000-extra-seats liverpool not part of this list, though i suppose based on previous announcements they are focused on the 2025 season for lpl. good news for other jet2 bases though

Jet2 will have what they call "Twilight check-in" . It allows you to drop your bags earlier, say the night before. Easyjet have also asked to have the same facility.

I believe this was a Jet2 first. It was first done at LBA probably about a decade ago, TUI copied and I think easyJet have followed suit. It can be handy as it means you can offload your bags the night before making it far less stressful for those who hate the airport experience. The downside is you do have to make an additional journey to the airport which will come at a cost to you if you need to park up while you check-in your bags. Those who I know who have used it swear by it and say the whole airport process is much easier. It means you can just go straight through security at the airport and you can forget about your belongings until you arrive on your holiday.
