I suppose I should have included in my figures for Summer 08 the fact that planned movements are -2.8pc down and seats available -1.4pc on the same period last year.
Now that might seem like gloom and despondancy, however compared with the same figures at start of season for Winter 07/08 of -4pc, and with the mergers of MyTravel/Thomas Cook and First Choice/Thomsonfly it may not be quite as bad as it might have been.
For a comparision STN is showing -6.2pc on movments and -2.9pc on seats.
Finally having walked to the airport this afternoon - and being caught in the downpour - I did wonder whether I had brought upon myself a case of the LVPs, but at least we were on 23R!!
