Fares have been extremely competitive on that route, especially if transferring via DUS rather than direct traffic. I paid about £70 for NCL-DUS-ARN one way about a month ago. On the same day,...

Had a fab trip on U2 to JER about 2 years ago. It was £71 return each during the May school half term which maybe suggests that while Easyjet can sell seats on this route, maybe yields are not...

SWBKCB makes a fair point on Dubai but maybe some of the short haul destinations are not so far fetched.

I would love a FRA connection, DUS is very much akin to having a link to STN (nice to have but not as good as LHR). A flight in the middle of the day if you are connecting on to Europe or North...

Looking at the routes that FR have launched from LBA, maybe FR's strategy is to specifically take LS head on. As I said before, FR do not go head to head with U2 on many route pairs.
