Thanks Brian. I had a great weekend thanks. My outbound flight with Jet2 from Blackpool - Malaga was excellent, most enjoyable. My inbound flight with Jet2 was a mini adventure and I ended up in Manchester rather than Blackpool! I'll post my usual trip reports when I get round to it but I had the aircraft (Boeing 737-300) virtually to myself. 23 rows or seats between 5 passengers with personal service from the Captain. It was like flying on a private jet.
Anyway, thanks again. The Gripen ticket was never in doubt, I wasn't driving to / from any airports!

You can't beat Spanish strawberry's & cream after a day topping up the tan with a glass of sangria on your birthday!!
