Manchester to Caribbean flights

[lynnek]

Just wondering if any flights from Manchester to the Caribbean this winter to join either ship are still scheduled to be on a TUI aircraft or are they all Maleth Aero now?

Just TUI and Maleth Aero

Good question, we are flying to the Caribbean in March and don’t know who we will be flying with.

Thanks but I knew that. I was wondering if any Manchester flights are still scheduled with TUI as we haven’t booked yet and this might help to decide which cruise to choose.

I think that is what @carlanthony24 was saying, both airlines are still doing Manchester flights.

Thanks for that. Do you know which day Friday or Saturday and to which ship?

No idea but I guess a quick check with Mr Google or Manchester Arr/Dep on Friday and Saturday will tell you.

I am joining the Arvia on Friday 10th November and flying with TUI.

On post #130 on the main Maleth thread, there is a list of their flights. 

The thread is here...

Remember the list only shows one third of the actual flights and therefore there will be other TUI flights on the same days.  If the airline worries you I would suggest either booking direct on the telephone and asking for confirmation of the flight number and time or using a good t/a and seeking confirmation from them before booking and handing over any cash.

Hi Michelle, we are flying on the 15th at 8.00am, not sure who we are flying with yet.

 

I hope we get to meet up on one of the sea days.

We are on K322N with Arvia this Thursday 27th Oct transatlantic and are flying back from Barbados on Friday 10 Nov. Our flight is  with Maleth Aero.....

 

We have managed to book extra legroom seats and by checking the seating configuration offered when booking them, against the available aircraft from Maleth Aero at this site....

 

https://www.maleth-aero.com/available-aircraft

 

It would appear we are flying on  the Airbus A330-200, 9H-EFS. This has the seating arrangement below...

 

 

I'm not sure if I'm  safe in assuming that this aircraft will be flying P&O passengers to join the Arvia in Barbados for K323.

 

Probably a bit off topic for this thread but I am unable to figure out why several of the seats on our flight, inc. the 12 designated as  business are blocked?

Anyone any ideas?

The business seats may well have been allocated on a first booked basis to odd premium economy passengers.  This happened last year when Wamos planes were switched in last minute by TUI.

 

Even on the TUI aircraft certain seats are blocked out in the middle section to allow them to accommodate groups of 3 or more.  With this 2 4 2cseat layout if you get a family of three you will presumably seat them centrally at check in so unless the buy seats in advance will need to adapt the seat reservation map accordingly.  With 3 3 3, couples can only book a window and middle or 2 aisles to facilitate this.

Would those business seats not be far superior to Premium Economy for anyone lucky enough to get them? 

 

Don't they fully recline like beds?

 

These could at least be retained for anyone with medical conditions who could only travel in PE?
