We should all be wary to comment/criticise airline commercial strategies, but I worry for Loganair on their non--PSO routes.
Looking at fares between now and the end of May for Southampton, Exeter and Newquay departures, they are eye - wateringly high. Fares from Newquay to Manchester can reach over £450, return, whereas those from Exeter (with Bristol, an hour up the road) to Scotland are uniformly over £300. The same applies to Southampton. Virtually no seats below £100 one-way during this period, so family travel is completely excluded. There is no evidence of lower fare classes to build decent load factors but what do I know? I hope the new pricing strategy works but it looks like Loganair are retreating into a niche carrier catering for non-discretionary travel.
