B-DAY (30/03/19)

Hi,

I was planning to visit a relative in Ireland in May next year. I notice there seem to be no budget flights between the UK and the EU after March, and since BREXIT threatens to result in either a no-deal or last-minute fudge, I cannot see the likes of Ryanair and Easyjet adding post-March flights "any time soon".

I won't pay more than £100 for a return flight to Cork or Dublin, let alone one-way. My plan is to postpone any such trips until the dust settles, assuming some form of BREXIT actually happens.

Are others planning their budget flights for March next year, and what do they propose to do afterwards?

Cheers
Taurus

According to http://www.easyjet.com/en/schedule-release , flights after 25/03/2019 are going to be released in October this year.

I'm not sure if this is any different from normal.

My belief is that it is perfectly normal for budget airlines to only announce schedules <12 months in advance, so I don't think anything can be read into this.

If you want to read the EU's analysis of the implications of a no deal Brexit on air transportation, it is here:

Planning to mitigate is on going.
