We are also forgetting Poland and eastern Europe which could open up. Wizz have a huge base at Luton but hardly anything at Gatwick due to slot constraints so Southampton could be a nice logical catchment gap to fill. Wizz flight times to and from Poland would mean no payload penalties either. Perhaps they could do Prague and Copenhagen. They tried BOH 10 years ago but for some reason that didn't work - perhaps related to public transport to/fro the airport. Taxis are too bloody expensive. But a train or bus into Southampton would fit that target market well.
