Who wants to do a day trip where you have to add at least an hours commute to each end before you even start your flying? Much better to have a days work, travel in the afternoon, meet your client for an evening meal, have a good nights sleep in a hotel and then have your business meeting the next day don't you think?
The lack of a return flight consistently annoys me. From Ireland I fly back to Manchester and train it back to Doncaster. Very inefficient. When I was doing the netherlands I was never able to find a way to avoid a night stop - although this was more cost effective then flying a daily return from Humberside.
