Can you book on Airlibexpress in May?
 
I've tried to book a flight from Nice to Toulouse in May/June, and there seems to be a message saying either: you can't book after March 29th, or they aren't flying until then or???<BR>Help!!

Mandy,<BR><BR>The message says that flights after March 29 will soon be bookable!<BR>Seems, it's too early yet.

<BR>Forgot to add, that Europe is going to change to 'summer time' (daylight savings time) the weekend of March 29. Most timetables are likely to change at that moment, too.

Mandy,<BR><BR>Air Lib may very well be out of business by May... <BR><BR>See this thread for details:<BR>http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&amp;tid=34375766<BR><BR>The French authorities will give their opinion on IMCA's turnaround plan by the end of next week. I wouldn't book until then even if it were technically possible.<BR><BR>Hope this helps,<BR>Andre

Many thanks for the replies - yes - I have heeded warnings and am waiting until next week.

Amanda,<BR><BR>As I feared, Air Lib's planes were grounded as of today - it's over for them.<BR><BR>This is certainly bad news for travelers looking for low cost flights to/from Paris in the short run. But in the medium term, expect EasyJet and/or new entrants to snap up Air Lib's slots at Orly and offer affordable service to short haul destinations. <BR><BR>Hope this helps,<BR>Andre
