Recently started to use Flybe LBA service which has proved friendly, reliable and cheap if booked a few weeks ahead. £60 is less than the cost of road fuel even for my 1.9D and neither airport subjects people to a terminal experience so there are significant journey cost and time savings.
Negs. are the sparse service (still not possible to day trip) although loads were good on both the Tues and Thurs. Similar comment applies to other routes which are limited and/or seasonal. Different at LBA which, despite nearby MAN and other serious competition, has Jet2 and many other operators going here there and everywhere to serve the 'local' market (including Islamabad !)
