Where's LH?
I'm wondering what happened to the (sabre-rattling?) talk from Lufthansa about coming out to open up a new regional base? I assumed there was some brinkmanship going on, but now that the German routes from Bristol are virtually decimated, now's the time to show a hand if you're going to.
The FRA and DUS routes staying open does look like slot hogging, particularly as Flybe had be trying to snag FRA slots for a while for SOU.
I've had to rebook inlaws (from MUC) and find alternate routes for others, and I'm finding myself using LCY and LHR to get out to Germany, Switzerland now.
I always maintained that dead-end routes operated in the middle of the day were the most insane way of trying to serve the GSA. I'm in two minds about what's more annoying; using KL to hub through AMS, or trolling down the M4.
