I am chancing LHR-NCL on Tuesday next week. In all honesty, I know there’s a chance it’ll be cancelled, but they’re cheaper than the train and the late BA flight (now sold out) and the earlier one was £465 one way versus £70. And I know if they cancel I can pick up a train with the compensation so worth the risk.
They do have a market on some routes IMO although completely agree re Belfast and LHR-AMS too.
