Is this wishful thinking?

Post by crewmeal »

At least the paper is promoting tourism in the area.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... ebound-as/
By October, both London Heathrow and Gatwick will have nonstop Luxor flights, and this is sure to boost the number of visitors coming from the USA.”
We know Egyptair will be back on line, but who is the other carrier? Don't tell me Thomson please.

Time will tell. However, I would have thought that if there are to be more direct flights to Luxor from London in October, that someone would be advertising them by now.

Who knows, [not ours :lol: ] but lets face it, Luxor has dropped that far down the pan that any support indicated is just words from inside the company created by person or persons unknown just to pass away an extended coffee break. How many times have these press releases been created, only to become a non event. They have wiped their hands clean of Luxor being a viable destination, its about profit, not loss. The only suggestion that I can come up with is to have a ginormous whip round, buy a decent second hand plane and get the two sisters to run it. Then Luxor may see a few new faces. :lol:

I even think that the writing is on the wall concerning those. The Lady Mary, so I'm informed, has now been turned into a coffee and shisha venue, serving meals, but I do not know the opening times.

Carrie. Someone on the Luxor forum has posted that their New Year Nile cruise booked with Thompson has been cancelled.
