The routes to Southampton and Guernsey etc are connecting flights via Jersey or Aberdeen in some cases!
It is an under marketed option. Let’s take a family of 5 wanting to go to Salou next May. Flights from Newcastle with Jet2 to Reus cost around £2k during half term. Fly from Teesside to Barcelona with KLM and it costs around £800. More expensive taxi options from Barcelona partly offset by lower taxi options in the UK. But who actually does this? I do and save a lot in doing so but I suspect few people wanting a flight only deal to the sun would even think about it.
iInterested in those Flybe rumours - Paris would be a good one!
