I had a look (cause I would love for it to be true) the guy hasn't made up stories like that on his previous history but he also doesn't come across as someone in the know.

It's quite a serious comment to make before an RNS is released or caught on by news tabloids.

I may spend the weekend drinking champagne in the hope it's all true.

Goodweekend all

I would love for that to be true but seen too many times these rumours on chat boards turn out to be complete fantasy.

Though the amount and paymen structure sound pretty neat! One can dream

Quite happy of the market doesn't want to price in the positive forward outlook. I guess worries on the oil price eating into profits.

Either way I'll just keep collecting my tokens and wait.

We as humans have a very short term memory and are generally very optimistic.

Look back at all previous world wide events, small blip and then we move on. Populations are growing, businesses are growing and as a result demand for flying will come back and grow compared to previous levels.

We are not going to sit here in 2 years time and say I'm not travelling because of past events.

You're welcome to your opinion, I have mine. But the risk reward here has to be on the upside.

Take a look at the mcap compared to cash and assets at 2.00gbp and 1.50gbp for EZJ. I have and can't see it happening. Not unless another lock down happens.

As I said good luck, time will tell

Good luck.
I see the worst behind us now. I really wanted more money on this recent dip but wiped myself out with earlier buys.

Be interesting to know your reasons why you think it's going down to those levels considering the cash held and the market cap that would lead too. I would kind see your point if planes were still grounded but the way I see it soon we will be exceeding 2019 levels (once the airports sort themselves out)

Looking good for Boo. Spot rate for 40 foot containers has dropped considerably.
Trans-pacific routes have halved in recent months!

Sorry to hear that Rox
I'm sure you will make that up and more when CARD starts to perform. Have a great weekend.

I'm there tomorrow night :)

Hi Hants.
My first trip out was extreamley hectic (start of term holidays). We were queuing everywhere, complete chaos.
Today it a bit quieter but remained busy. Very surprising as there are no school holidays. I would advise arriving an hour earlier than normal still though as quite a bit of waiting around at security. We got there 3hrs b4 flight and only had time to sit down for tens mins to have a coffee before being told to board.

Had a quick look at the flight board. Everything was easyjet apart from two Tui flights. All but two looked ontime. The two were delayed. Didn't see any cancellations.

My flight to Amsterdam was the least full I have flown this month. Prob around 75% capacity

Have a great flight!

I flew from Gatwick 10 days ago to Mercia. This was a rearranged flight due to a cancellation 15 days prior to departure. I have since flown back and then flown from Southend to Mallaga and back again but returning to Gatwick. Today I fly to Amsterdam from Gatwick.

I have to say apart from the cancelled flight and one slightly delayed all has gone very well. Planes are rammed staff are busy but happy and I have not successfully had one compensation claim accepted.

I have seen little flights cancelled on the day and delays have seem to be managed. All flights have been with easyjet so far. I'm very happy this dip is temp and that management will be making progress for the summer holidays which I think are going to be huge. Some people have been waiting two years for this. Inflation, lack of money and fuel prices are not going to stop them. At least not this year

You think 10gbp a head is going to make the difference in the city?
I would expect min 100gbp per head. If that went to 110gbp it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference.

The real reason it's quiet is because everyone is on holiday!!

I've gone on the basis that we have just had a half term break with a long weekend. The airlines took a pessimistic view that travel would not return until 2023 as everyone has been saying but the demand was substianially more than anticipated. Yes we have had cancellations but to me this is a good sign. Imagine if they advised they were laying off more staff because demand has not returned.

Lessons have been learnt, we have a month b4 the demand starts to peak. This should provide some time to get staffing levels improved.

I may be proved wrong but I have backed up my belief and put my money where my mouth is. If I'm wrong I'm confident i will make my money back in 2023.

Jtan, tick up there. Made me spill my coffee when I read that.

Sooner or later it will be more of a stallion

From what I have seen at the airports and what the latest report read from Whizz I'm buying at these levels. 3.5b market cap. Happy to hold for several years so just topped up another 3000 odd shares.

Many cancellations were arranged with notice. It's not that they are all cancelled on the day. My recent flight for example was cancelled 15 days prior to departure. This fell outside the 14 days notice period whereby they have to pay compensation. My recent claim was rejected.

Delays are also being managed. My return flight was all on time, I tracked the plane, saw it pull up to the gate and half the passengers were queuing. Then they delayed our flight and used our plane for another flight to Luton. This meant all the passengers to Luton whose plane was delayed prior to ours got back within g the allotted 3hrs before compensation claims could be made. Our flight was delayed by 2hrs 45mins so we too could not make a claim back to Gatwick. I don't think this is coincidence.

It was very busy throughout on easyjet and have no doubt travel remains high on many peoples agenda. Off to Marbs on Friday, again easyjet. No cancellations yet so fingers crossed it's going ahead.

Just at the gate about to board. Flight not cancelled but they are asking for volunteers to get on the next flight as they have overbooked.

I asked if the plane was full when scanning my ticket at the gate and the guy smirked and just said every flight is full sir!

That's it from me. Hopefully off soon for a week of golf. Back at gatwick next week for a flight to Marbs so may have some more updates.

This Summer will not go to waste. Profits will be stellar.
I'm here at gatwick South. I came via the North terminal and the easyjet que was mega in the North. I'm now at the south terminal and at 530am and the ques are huge. They have gatwick staff helping the easyjet ques as so many people.

Everyone I speak to when I ask how busy is it just shake their head saying its too busy.
What's interesting when I took my golf clubs to the oversized area the guy said he has never seen so many people travelling with clubs. Said especially easyjet and Turkish Airlines.

To me everything is saying recovery is already here. I guess waiting game to see if current rush is maintained.

Ha! Never thought of compensation as they offered an alternative flight which I took. Just cost me more in moving everything else around. Will certainly check on that!

May send an update tomorrow on how full the flight is. Though everything is telling me there will be no spares seats.

Better get on with making my jam sandwiches!
