If you want to travel at short notice on the most popular flights on one of the busiest days of the week on a heavily business orientated route, be prepared to pay for it. BA has been charging £600 or so for these sorts of flights for many a year.
absolutely.. but it makes me far less likely to start with BA the next time I plan the trip.... £600 sort of sticks in the mind.. so I'll start with the train website, see £200 and think it's a bargain and book it.. maybe missing the £50 special BA fare that day.
plus of course £600 rtn Newcastle is a good story to tell o everyone at the water cooler..
