Bristol airport - premium applied to KLM and Lufthansa long haul flights!
I work for multinational national based near Bristol - over the last couple of months we averaged approx 500 long haul outward sectors per month. My company along with the majority of others (I assume) have a cheapest ticket policy. We must take the cheapest usable ticket (Y) with a small (£60) personal discretion allowed for convenience.
Bristol would be far and away the most convenient airport to begin many of the journeys for myself and fellow colleagues (mainly to India and Far East – Lufty flight times are excellent) so I was excited by the introduction of the daily flight to FRA a few months back.
The trouble is the premium attached to this service (compared to a LHR legacy carrier) is about 25%. We are therefore forced to take the Heathrow “hell” option!
Of course if this flight is commercially successful then there is no need to change, but if the loads are still poor then PLEASE Lufthansa / KLM give us a comparable price so we can fly with you and support our local airport!
