I feel this is a shame for Gatwick and another slide into just becoming a lo-cost and charter based airport with very little for the discerning customer to be attracted to...
I realise that GB is a real 'sunshine route' airline , but with it's franchise arrangement and longstanding identity for quality it gave the customer a worthy alternative to just being crammed in with a tin of pringles ....
Easyjet are fine , if you are going to hop onboard for an a hour or hour and a half, but with GB operating some much longer routes where a little comfort and service are a real bonus, this will now be lost with its decision to sell out to EZY.
Will there ever be a day when flying will again have some form of attraction , rather than being herded around in cramped conditions and being made to 'put up' ....
GB had a real chance at LGW of becoming the real alternative , every flight we took with them was great and i wish their hardworking and dedicated crew all the best
