Flights will depart Manchester daily at 12:00, arriving at Washington/Dulles at 15:08 local time the same day. Return flights will depart Washington/Dulles daily at 22:16 and arrive at Manchester at 10:20 the next day. The new flights will be operated using a Continental Airlines Boeing 757-200 aircraft with 175 seats – 16 in BusinessFirst and 159 in economy.
