LHR free add ons

Agree with Skyman771 never seen these for a long time, they used to do it on BA holidays etc.
However as recent as a few months ago I have seen free add on from MAN and very very cheap add ons from EDI and GLA.
So bearing in mind the high LF on this route, paying passengers, apparently good yields and no competition unlike some other BA domestic routes flying alongside BD, It should be here to stay. Am I right in thinking that NCL is the only major BA domestic to LHR without competition?
Conclusion is in theory that higher fees from BAA should have less effect on NCL-LHR than other BA routes.
One thing that could have an effect on this route is of course Emirates new service to Dubai. which will also hurt KL/AF.We shall see.
