Yep, I hope they carry on from BHX but tbh, there weren’t that many on the flight and Flybe are announcing their ‘new’ routes next week so there’s a bit more competition- at least for now…..
Good review, thanks. Nice to see regional routes - planes in use for the weekend when LCY is closed! I remember back in the day when BHX had the "Eurohub" - a whole network of European BA routes, of which I only got to fly CDG!
I don't remember the Eurohub - that would be brilliant now if only as a real alternative to the truly terrible (and getting worse) Manchester! I'm back down to LCY next month anyway on another Embraer so looking forward to that. Cheers mate.
I quite fancy doing this route too. Haven’t tried TAP yet. The other one would be LPL to FRA with Lufthansa in their CRJ900. Both would be interesting flights I reckon 👍
Another enjoyable video ! I'm always looking forward to your new video every Friday. A return of Flybe would be great. I remember they even flew from Antwerp to the UK. We need more of those kind of flights over here.
There is also a shuttlebus service from the airport directly into Belfast City Centre. It stops right outside the airport and leaves you off at central bus station. Definitly a far more convenient airport than our, so called, International airport.
Reminds me of my favourite flight I've ever done, Loganair (turbo prop) from Aberdeen to Belfast International Airport, the scenery was spectacular looking over snowcapped mountains most of the way..
Cheers mate, seems like Flybe are taking an age with sorting their routes out and as they’ll be based at BHX, I don’t thinks there’s much future for Cityflyer here. No lounge access either, BA wouldn’t pay the money apparently 😂
I flew with BA Cityflyer on the BHD/BHX/BHD recently and both flights were fairly quiet. BHD/BHX - We got a small granola bar and cup of orange and on the BHX/BHD - A small packet of crisps and a drink from the bar. I want to try them to LCY in the future too as I believe the service is even better. ✈️
Great vid as usual. For the distance/ aircraft/quality o thought it was very cheap. Flights from Belfast, either airport are not known for their good value, have a look at flights from Belfast city to Southampton if you want too see eye watering pricing lol
Thanks David. Yep I reckon you shouldn’t really have to pay more than around £30 o/w between BHX/MAN and Belfast these days. SOU yep, cheapest I could find was around £68 flying with Eastern. Not too bad really 👍
Nice vid as always Mark, looked like a fun short hop. I'm excited for Flybes return never flown with them but I remember they offered flights to Belfast, Dublin and Amsterdam I think from my local airport (DSA) so I hope that returns!
Yep, they’re going to be based at BHX (and BHD I think). I made one of my first videos flying with them on a Dash-8 to Hamburg. A bit rough and ready I thought but they had decent connectivity in those days. Fingers crossed for a decent route network but I think they have more competition this time around.
Excellent video Mark! A handy little flight and I do like those Embraers. And you got the best seat 😂

Love a little Embraer - done Lisbon to Manchester a couple of times with TAP, like being on a business jet in comparison to the budget airlines.

Nice video , I’m a big fan of the jungle jets
Thanks, I was on another one yesterday - a smaller 145!

Thanks mate, hope you enjoyed the pics earlier 😊 I can’t wait to find out where Flybe will be flying - just taking ages though!
Flybe were rip off merchants regarding hand luggage.

Yep totally agree. I was heading for Bangor otherwise the shuttle bus would’ve done for me 👍
@@LetsMakeaTrip Glad you enjoyed your stay. If you're ever over this way again I'll buy you a coffee.
@@Alan_AB cheers Alan. I’m sure to find my way there again in 2023. Lots to do in NI yet 👍
Another great video, most enjoyable. I look forward to a video of your time in Bangor. Thanks Mark and take care and stay safe,cheers.
Hi Simon, cheers mate. Next week will be the trip up to Portrush. Not much on Bangor itself tbh but Portrush was nice and worth a trip imo.
I watched it before the UA-cam Notification sent me the release of this video. Video's score: 10. Cheers for now!
Nice one Pedro, appreciate the support and the comment. Back on the trains next week but in the meantime, cheers for now 😊👍

I’m in Aberdeen atm Walter. Came up with Loganair today. No turboprop though - an Embraer 145. Nice and bumpy 😊👍
Good review as always. As you say, it’ll be interesting to see what happens with BA CityFlyer in the future on these ex-Stobart routes.

Getting a drink from the bar sounds good! I’m flying out of LCY to Dublin next month with them so watch this space 👍
Excellent as ever🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍾🍾🍾🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
Cheers Derisley, nice emojis tonight. I’m currently drinking 🍸🍸🍸👍
Great video
Cheers Luis, thanks for your support mate as always 😊👍
Enjoyable video Mark, thanks!

@@LetsMakeaTrip nope but when I put in flights in Sept this year cheapest was £178, most expensive was £371 via EDI lol
@@davidcorbett62 yep eastern is about £150 return (value fare). I guess it depends what dates you want as well. Good luck!
@@LetsMakeaTrip thank you and you

Warning.. Be careful with hand luggage size with Flybe, they don't confirm with most other airlines regarding size.
It’s pronounced Sid En am
Yep cheers Matthew, unfortunately I found this out after I’d done the video 😬👍
BA cityflyer normally have a Club Europe (CE) cabin on their scheduled flights... Great vlog.. really enjoy flying the EMB from city...
