Is that one of those Welsh villages????

I don't think they have ruined the industry. I think they have ruined the image of the industry. It's like anything else that becomes cheap and nasty. Yes, it's cheaper to fly than to get the cab to the airport. Unfortunately that's what Joe Public wants. I think the really low cost bubble will burst and the wannabe's will go bust and fade. However, the big players will stay and mould the business to suit.
