Lo cost or no lo cost I wonder if any one has just done a simple analysis of people in the London /S E region flying Ryanair just because they live in East london or Essex. I live on the Surrey Hants border and so flying Ryanair involves a journey of 85 miles across London( 50% of the M25) I would never fly Ryanair even if theywere better than BA because the land journey is horrendous; by car-difficut or impossible by train for early or late flights and by Taxi is £120
So while there are a lot of comparisons aboutt heir service levels I wonder just how much of FRs growth is just geographical convenience for people who cannot face the journey to LHR from the East of the capital or who people who use FR services from provincial airports
