read through the qrts and replies if you want to experience what the internet was like 15 years ago

@JeremyBrookman2 Yeah of course, but that in itself is the issue. With less but bigger airports, connectivity is almost endless.

@ARTibbs94 Tbf the UK has a lot more than LHR and LGW. London has 6 airports for instance with 7 due to be 8 runways. Chicago for comparison has 2 airports and New York has 2, 3 if you count Newark.

According to this article Cardiff Airport saw 963,000 passengers in 2025 up 9%. Aircraft movements were up 4%. Cargo up 7%. It also mentions new routes planned in 2027 so it'll be interesting to see what happens. business-live.co.uk/enterprise/car…

@JeremyBrookman2 A jam on the 25 isn’t a shock to anyone either 😂. The UK is hampered by how small its two biggest airports are compared to places like AMS, ORD, JFK etc

@ARTibbs94 One jam on the M25 and that's your connection screwed. I'd also imagine you'd have to recheck your luggage for security reasons.

@JeremyBrookman2 I do wonder if they could work the domestics into Gatwick in conjunction with an “airside” coach transfer between the two airports. Plane to plane with luggage transferring separately. Assume it’s more hassle than it’s worth

@ARTibbs94 Yeah I don't see it happening either.

@JeremyBrookman2 Yep, I’d like to think if the third runway ever happens these will come back but I can’t see it

@ARTibbs94 Side effect of Heathrow being so slot restricted unfortunately.

@JeremyBrookman2 Yeah, it’s a shame that there isn’t more domestic presence, really

@ARTibbs94 They used to operate a daily flight to LBA pre pandemic but dropped it. Would've been handier if they hadn't.

@dn280 How long is this due to be in Tolouse? Hopefully I’ll catch some footage of this at the end of the month

@JeremyBrookman2 For some reason I thought the British Airways had a cat the LBA route and then it was just Newcastle and Manchester in the north of England now

@ARTibbs94 Only looked at Manchester and Leeds price wise. Didn't fancy the train journey to Heathrow easier to get to Manchester for me.

@JeremyBrookman2 Assume it’s MAN > LHR > SYD? Was there much difference doing it from Manchester vs London price wise?

@ARTibbs94 I'm doing BA to Sydney from Manchester at the end of April. Unfortunately KLM and Air France were just too expensive.

@JeremyBrookman2 exactly, I would take the extra stop in Amsterdam or Paris over driving or getting a train to London every time. I did look at it a dual stop trip from Cardiff to Sydney with stops in AMS and SIN on a single ticket transferring from KLM to Qantas but ended up using avios on BA

@ARTibbs94 If they can get 3 daily AMS, a daily CDG and 4 weekly Toronto in the summer at least that would be a big boost to connectivity.

@JeremyBrookman2 Yes, definitely I think Air France would be great. Obviously the QR thing was hypothetical, but I think having the third KLM back would be more beneficial at the moment anyway.

@ARTibbs94 Hopefully we'll see Ryanair and TUI continue to expand especially in winter. Maybe Air France with Paris but I don't see Qatar returning not with whats happening in the Middle East.

@JeremyBrookman2 Yeah that’s the one, also same 😂. It came out of the blue at the time. I think in the short term the best thing for cwl would be a larger Ryanair expansion and its low fares driving footfall, westjet sticking around & QR returning with the 321XLR instead of 787

@ARTibbs94 Yeah I saw that. I think it was Pakistani ambassador or something like that who mentioned Cardiff. Honestly I think there's more chance of Air New Zealand flying to Cardiff than PIA 😆

@central01000011 @JeremyBrookman2 @SeanM1997 @analyticflying It’s because it’s an extension of the current KUL flight as opposed to its own new route/slot out of LHR.

@JeremyBrookman2 @SeanM1997 Slots? @analyticflying

@oliverCCFCrees having the time of his life

@TheRealTR19 😘😘🔵

Cue the "Wrexham away isn't for everyone" from them lot who are bottling the League 1 title😴

@OfficialBWFC Pretty sure we had an early kick off in the reverse fixture at your place as well didn’t we?

📺 Wanderers' away trip to Cardiff City on Saturday 11th April has been selected for Sky Sports+ coverage. This means the fixture will now kick off at the earlier time of 12:30pm. #bwfc

@Savigma Priority now is to just focus on ourselves, don’t let the gap to 3rd close, keep winning our games & if they slip up & we get a chance at top spot, take it when it comes.

I’m over the recent disappointing results now. Lincoln go into a tough game (albeit home) v Stockport on Saturday. If Cardiff win on Saturday, we’ll be in a strong position with 3 consecutive home games. Depending on how Lincoln do in their next 4 games, it could be interesting.

@JeremyBrookman2 Yes, I may stand corrected here but I think Virgin Atlantic are the only airline in Europe that do it. I don’t think any of the US carriers do either. I’m not sure about Asia.

@ARTibbs94 I wondered why my reward flight from Montreal in September doesn't show how many XP I'd get. Didn't realise that you don't get them for reward flights.

Using this route myself in September. Compared prices with Heathrow and Cardiff is cheaper for the date I'm travelling on and my one way fare includes checked bag and seat selection. Looking at the price calendar and there are some really cheap fares available (shown in 🇨🇦💲).
