Thanks KiloMIke.
Well six of one and half a dozen of the other. Its handy in that way unless you are connecting. I suppose it might be no worse than connecting from terminal 4. You can walk from terminal 3, how the T5-T1 connect pans out, we have yet to experience!
EI LHR-BFS
Far, far too early to call on this one. Market is extremely soft at the minute even business travel is light. Nobody has any money.
Looking ahead, trying to book some summer holiday flights, I find EI is actually more expensive than bmi. Looking back at previous years, bmi does not seem to have reduced prices this year.
But it was all academic since I can't be sure to connect from T3 to T1 so we will have to stay in London and flay easyjet bact to BFS, saving £75 on the airfare. (We have accomodation in London)
Anyway I do wish EI well and so do the vast majority on NI passengers.
