Yep, but Teesside is in Gods Country and not 'darn 'sarf where everything costs twice as much!!! And please note it is TEESSIDE.......

However as a point, I go home to Teesside on a regular basis and an overnight seems to cost me more like £25. I need to check the exact price.

The point I am making is these places cost money to operate and they set fees accordingly. Our little spam cans do not represent any real revenue but cost just the same as the big jets in terms of infrastructure terms. So the answer is simple if we don't like it then we go elsewhere. £50 quid is about 30 mins flying time in an average spam can. About 12 mins in the Twin.
