BA had stated in their hand over to flybe that pax could continue to book trhough them for the sectors such as IOM. I thought this very curious but decided to check today.
They obviously wish to off load this from their booking system, as they have cranked the price up.
Same flights, same days:
flybe £139.98
BA £192.50
Benefit? I would get some BA Miles and lounge access if I was silver or gold. I wonder why they would add £52.52? Perhaps they will get enough twits booking through them? It would have been more honest to just stop booking this route.
