Which other destinations should be added to London Southend’s flight schedule?
Great news for the return of flights to Lanzarote
Would love Gran Canaria flights over the winter months (over Xmas )
Flights to Bergerac would be great (especially if Ryanair pull out). I know many other people who regularly fly to South-West France and either have to drive to Stansted or Gatwick.
Would love to see jersey and Sweden
Would love murcia( corvera airport)
Shame only easyjet from Southend.That company is a sham.A Flight from gatwick got us to malaga 5 hours late and our connection abandoned us leaving us to make our way to hotel an hour away.Never use that shower of **** ever again.
