I suppose it will seem strange handing over part of my airfare at the airport, even though I am resigned to the charge. I will experience that at first hand at the end of may when we fly to Palma.
To change course a little I think the charge will be more acceptable if people can see some tangible return for their money - Like a new route to either Corfu or Turkey, that's what BB have said they are aiming for.
I wonder if this will be the case 2 years down the line?, and will the Girona route become active again this year - for all the talk there has been about Loganair and FlyBE, any carrier going to any sun destination is far more important to me.
Also a bench mark for me this time next year will be if Manx2 are still fling out of Blackpool to anywhere, and if jet2 are still flying to NI.
Those 2 routes seem very congested to me with 2 airlines competing for the same pax.
