Surely the product will be similar to the BA Club Europe from LGW and LHR, or the Air France business and first, LH etc.

Obviously the major carriers are selling it from huge bases with massive route networks for onward connections but surely there would be room for an airline that offers luxury (only have to fill 80 seats) that will most likely be charging around a fare U2 or FR would charge a week before departure?

Spending 3 hours (AGP and ALC are abit longer than 2 (unless they plan to bring back the bird from the AVP!) would be a great delight to start the holiday.

Remember the destinations they are flying to: Malaga where the rich and famous play in Porto Banus (spelling?) and the hundreds of golf courses etc. I would have thought that ALC would be further down the list. PMI would be my 2nd choice as it attracts many more of the rich and famous.

There are many destinations in Europe that would benefit from the business service. Does anyone remember the Airline episode on Brittania where the snotty woman asks for a G&T, then says to the flight attendant "thats a gin and tonic to you." There are many of these people in the UK who would probably use this service.

Anyway...why not let them have a go...its not been done before!
