South Wales is a poor area subject to EU funding for deprived regions. I'm not knocking the fact, I was born and bred in Mid Wales which is even poorer.
Air travel is hugely discretionary. You don't NEED to take city breaks and you don't NEED a second home. Two significant sources of no frills customers. And to answer your question, yes, EZY Bristols summer programme is now on sale - including this years additional routes of Copenhagen, Bibao and Amersterdam.
