Charter Flight Surcharges
First of all, my apologies, as this is a pretty mundane question, but I would welcome any insight.
A cruise holiday to Barbados, with P&O, operated by TUI, includes flights from LGW. Flights from BHX or MCR incur a £50 surcharge. However, flights from GLA or NCL have a surcharge of £175.
I appreciate that in both cases the distance is slightly further, but does it really cost an extra £125 per passenger to fly to and from these airports, compared to BHX or MAN, or is it just P&O taking advantage of the lack of any other local options ?
