Listened to a short interview with Daniel Reilly.
Pushed no credit card and baggage fees and the usual carrot of more destinations in future. Nothing not mentioned before.

Presumably this was the Radio Humberside interview from the other day?
New destinations would no doubt be dependant upon another operator opening them, and the only operator I can see expanding at HUY is LCH assuming they do well this summer.
So long as they dont mess up this time, then I wish jetXtra well. However, they are very small fish compared to what they aspired to be.

It would appear they are to open an office in..... Widnes Unless they are to suddenly announce flights from Liverpool, then it seems pointless to have a high street sales office over 100 miles away from the target market. I know it is IWHoliday's office also, but still seems quite bizarre.

I wouldn't rule it out - Didn't his original company want to operate out of Liverpool a few years back? When Summer 13 was first launched he was looking at selling seats on Jet2 from Manchester too.
It does seem like a missed opportunity to have a Humber based direct sales outlet - Although JetXtra are not big enough to support their own just yet - around 4000 seats per year, assuming all were sold direct, would probably not even cover the rent and utilities for a site in a reasonably central location in somewhere like Hull unless there were sold at a massive premium over the web price. Even if next years much hinted expansion comes into reality, Do direct face to faces still count for much these days? Jet2 seem to get by alright with pretty much all online sales.
As a side remark, I would love to see HAT expand though with a couple of local branches - maybe one on the North Bank...

Looks to me like it is very much an Independent Worldchoice Holidays shop. Look at the photo of the shop front on their facebook page - jetXtra gets two small mentions, the same as GolfOptions and WorldChoiceSports
