Looking at the 11 EZY U.K. Base operations the 5 in the south of England are geographically illogical for ops from SOU whilst airport management might be a little reticent to encourage direct head-to-heads with their main customer BE on MAN, NCL, EDI or GLA - which leaves, IMO, LPL and BFS as the two proving grounds for further market potential for EZY from SOU.
EasyJet wouldn't be up for domestics from Southampton maybe an EDI rotation but that's about it.
EasyJet don't fly domestics from NCL so you can discount that.
EasyJet would or 'could even' target the Sun routes and city break destinations.
