"A plane load of £59 fares to Belfast from Manchester"
From April 16 2003 British Airways CitiExpress will introduce all seats on specific flights from Manchester to Belfast City Airport at £59 return guaranteed including all taxes and charges.
£59 guaranteed fares enable us to offer even more great value, competitive fares to travellers to/from Northern Ireland. Plus, British Airways CitiExpress flights operate to Belfast City Airport which means passengers not only benefit from value for money fares but from the airport's convenient location right in the heart of Belfast itself.
Guaranteed fares are designed to appeal to the less time pressured travellers, and are particularly aimed at the huge amount of leisure travellers who visit Belfast and Manchester.
The guaranteed fare is not a promotional fare as such but will be available for the foreseeable future.
Fares will be bookable on or after 16 April.
The fare will be available for passengers travelling to/from Belfast City on the following flights only:
Flight No.
BA7603
BA7607
BA7783
BA7602
BA7606
BA7784
In addition to £59 guaranteed fare, other fares are also available on these services. For example if a customer wishes to buy a fully flexible ticket they will still able to do so, thus earning full EC mileage and access to the BA lounges at both ends of route.
N-class £59 fares can also still be purchased on other MAN-BHD services.
Services are operated on an RJ100 jet aircraft, which means 110 seats will be available at our lowest lead-in on weekdays.
Weekend services are operated by 49 seater Embraer 145 jets.

- a friday night outbound to BCN
- direct service to PRG and BUD
- bigger planes on LHR shuttle
Not much to ask for really. It is soo nice having our own terminal though and not having to share with the bucket and spade crowd.

You're annoyed with losing BHX-BFS, I'm really annoyed about losing BHX-AMS.
That's 12 C returns a year gone for BA and probably the end of my BA Silver Status.

[Talking about crazy deals I just booked for my sister to fly from Newquay to STN for £0.49 each way and from STN to EDI for £6.00 each way.
I also booked myself to Brussels from Liverpool for £0.99 each way.
I am now looking for an irline that will pay me to fly on their planes and give me full C class benefits on all trips.
Someone has to make the first move soon ???
