To give you an idea the first week in April sees 74 flights per week over 6 destinations with a maximum of 13 flights (Friday) and minimum 9 (Saturday) with one a two variations until the last week in June when their are 10 routes but then a dip in peak season to 65 flights per week as Amsterdam drops from 14 per week to 4 but Nantes starts making 11 routes in total but all that changes in September with 78 flights per week and back to 10 routes (15 flights on a Monday).
Obviously Southampton would never get 5 Belfast a day (not even sure if BHX will as things change regularly) but the destinations are Amsterdam, Belfast Int, Edinburgh, Faro, Geneva, Glasgow, Lisbon, Milan MXP, Nantes & Palma. Malaga remains in the APP but not in the main website but gives you idea what can be achieved without a base.

Interesting thanks Pete, think this model would work well for SOU in order to attract a LCC without a base expense/commitment whilst developing the growth plans projected for the airport
