Exeter and Flybe

A business trip to Exeter last week with a colleague.
Two return tickets from Newcastle with Flybe for 60% of what i was quoted for one return ticket to Aberdeen next week?

For the first time in 30 years of working in Aberdeen I am taking the train over the plane. Paying £360 plus airport fees and parking, for a 360 mile round trip is abhorrent, considering earlier this year this route was down to less than £200.
Its a complete Joke and an insult to the people who want to use their own airport.

Incidentally Exeter has a population a third the size of Teesside but boast daily flights to Amsterdam ,Paris , Dublin , London , Belfast , Manchester and Newcastle, not to mention holiday flights.
In total 18 cities. We are down to 2 which soon could be 1.
