The fact is exactly as you say, we have to try to get back to work - but if it can't be done it can't be done, simple as that. Business trips, just like visiting family or friends, is going to have to wait a bit longer before it returns to the 'new normal.'
I daresay in 6-12 months when things do (hopefully) settle down a bit, regional airlines might well tweak their schedules a bit, but at the moment it is still survival mode for most.
Indeed - I was trying to do the trip ''as simply as possible'' which would be to use my local airport, or even LHR at a push.
Seems though that the new airline & routes from SOU, whilst I wish them well, have sadly structured a time schedule
that suits no one trying to get back to businesses as normal.
(well -
some sort of normal of course)
I cannot wait 6 months I'm afraid (unless we stay in perpetual lock-down, in which case we and the economy are all pretty much doomed lol)
That's my point.
I can do it on the train up via LON WAT & KX - I can just about take the risk I suppose that SWR will operate on the day
without it's usual nonsense.
