Was there any reason in particular for the row of BMI Airbuses parked up by the freight sheds on friday evening? I have never seen them parked here before.
Just to chuck my hat into the poor treatment of the Airport by BA debate.......
We are flying out to Faro with friends in Feb 09. They are travelling up from Portsmouth so we decided to look at booking a LOCO from the London Area. We found to our suprise that BA from Gatwick were the cheapest available at just £55 return (RYR were the cheapest based just on a fare but then throw in the extras
)
After finding this great fare we looked at booking MAN - LGW. To our amazement it came in at £85 each way per person, £170 return.
This was four months ago. I was amazed at how much the 45 minute domestic sector was compared to the two and a half hour flight to Faro from Gatwick.
Were now driving down and staying overnight at LGW. Damm ripoff London Airways.
