Can anyone really imagine that 3 carriers can successfully operate to Barcelona and Prague without someone losing out in a bloodbath
Who is the 3rd carrier to Prague!!
I would say LS would be the first to drop Barcelona going by their past history Cork, Bournemouth etc. Sometimes I do wonder about routes eg there are now 2 flights to Venice throughout the winter etc (I suppose winter is maybe the time to visit Venice cooler and less tourists).
EI could have started with a few new destinations in Germany etc rather than going in to BFS with guns blasting. All the talk about expansion with regards to EI once they are up and running, I wonder if the early morning departure to LHR will be added next summer once a few slot issues are resolved-they have stongly hinted at it recently, and they need all the competive edge they can get against BD. If LS drop Milan EZY/EI probably would be tempted to take it up. As for T/A from BFS expansion is inevitable
