It's not a reasonable price, no. I flew from Derry to Stansted, monthly from 2015-2017. Fares were always around £40-£60 return. I now fly from Belfast on Ryanair/Easyjet and a similar range of £40-£70 applies.

BMI regional often charge £100-£180, for a return flight booked weeks in advance. I have never seen a return flight under £90 on their site.

I just booked a one way flight on British Airways, with an Emergency Exit row at short notice for £80. BMI regional does not offer a superior product, so there is no justification in the prices that they charge, with a government subsidy.
