Not long for you too Winkie

We were due to fly out from Newcastle with EasyJet on 30th August returning on 13th September, just noticed our inbound flight has been cancelled although outbound still showing as going ahead, it looks like other flights cancelled too. I have not heard from Easyjet just noticed on the app when I went to check in.

[WINKIE]

Yep, squeeky bum time for a few of us. We go ( hopefully) end of month too, our flight still good to go and return TUI, just awaiting our government kicking it into touch.

TD, sorry to hear that. Have Easyjet said when they intend to close their hub at Newcastle? It was reported in June that they were going to do so, do you suspect this is the start of the closure?

[TDRich]

Easyjet stop their flights to Corfu for a few weeks in September then commence again back end of September so this looks like a temporary measure possibly in anticipation of some restrictions, but who knows. I have flights to Corfu and Spain booked for next year and no disruption for those at the minute, it’s definitely a waiting game.

[geordieborn]

Not using Newcastle these days my interest is in passing as some of the family still use it. Hence I knew Easyjet were closing the hub there. Looking at the likes of the Chronicle here it seems a large number of jobs are going, so I would expect some disruption, although they did say routes from Newcastle would stay. Trouble is at the moment is the alternatives are not good if they want to fly you back elsewhere, so fingers crossed!

[TDRich]

Yes Newcastle is so uncertain for Easyjet we thought they would still be flying but reduction in routes but nothing is certain anymore.

We tend to do a mix of independent and packages but think packages may be the way to go in the future, never been in the position where they will fly me out but not home, fortunately all on one booking so I can get a refund. A refund from TUI for my hotel booking will be tricky as at the minute they will say my hotel is still open.

Will just hold on to see if the government changes anything in the next week or two.

[TDRich]

It looks like this is down to EasyJet pulling out of Newcastle from 1st September very little details only a breaking news statement from a news bulletin.

[geordieborn]

It fits in with the Chronicle link where they are talking about 45 day consultation period which would take us to about 3-4 days ago. Allowing for more admin etc... It does not look too good, but hopefully things will work out for you.

Still hoping our 3weeks from 11th September will go ahead,all looks OK at present.
I have checked  with Cardiff airport and the flights are still as listed so I have filled in my PLF form in anticipation.

Enjoy your holiday Maggie, and please make sure you don’t have another accident.  I was staying at the Little Prince first two weeks of May last year.  I think you might have arrived the second week and had that nasty fall, we did speak briefly with you but you were with others.

Checked in with TUI and PLF code just arrived. All ready to go tomorrow
