Lighten up ALLMCC, have you never heard of marketing? If easyJet don't blow their own trumpet no one else well. You admit they have brought low fare to NI, a very good thing. People have flown that would have never dreamed of it before, a good thing. If you doubt the validity of their claim why don't you ask them directly. PS, and the reason fares are low is that low cost airlines negotiate low airport costs to keep them that way.
