Although I have to admit I did not check too often during December and January, I think fares have remained fairly high and have not reached anywhere near bargain basement, which would be a time to worry.

As for Feb onwards, the fares are mainly sky-high and probably not too much to worry about. I think GLA, BFS & BRS pax were lower in Jan
but possibly less rotations on some.

129 is still 74% load factor and depending on the business take-up
it should be okay.

Another forum posted some airline stats for the third quarter of 2007
and Conti were stunning across the pond coming in at about $250
million profit.

With no competition from BHX they can charge what they like and
as I have been looking at a family trip to NY, I would say CO are
charging what they like!
