Yes Locos have made flying affordable to a whole new generation of people. Part of that affordability was due to the fact that the airlines reduced considerably what they were paying to the airport. That at a time when other costs were ramping up, like security. My question was, with income going down, costs going up, what should airports have done?
But in a wider context, people need to get some perspective in their lives. They get obsessed in trying to avoid a £1 charge, would being diagnosed with cancer and given weeks to live not be more important? Let's spend 5+ hours to Dublin and back to try and save an hour the other end in immigration. The guy who takes his own life in hand and that of others passing in a dangerous place to save seconds.
Too many now have lost sight of what is important, stress over nothing issues and lead lives that reflect same.
