Just to address one point. KLM use their short haul services from regional airports as a loss leader to feed their long haul hub out of AMS. Nothing new again here, BA did it for years to LHR. LH to FRA etc etc.
Yes, been there and done that, I appreciate that, let's say, that the fare CWL/AMS/FCO can be the same, if not cheaper than, AMS/FCO but on this occasion I checked CWL/AMS/CWL and BRS/AMS/BRS so longer haul connections have got diddly squat to do with it and anyone here is as equalled abled as I am to check for themselves.
