BFS101 you hit the nail on the head, I to think whoever bases a widebody offering something other than the Canaries will be on to a winner..I would love to know how many travelling through BFS are actually heading to more exotic destinations via MAN, LHR, LGW and even EWR.
Maybe I'm wrong but I feel that if the likes of Las Vegas, Dubai, Caribbean, Egypt etc were on offer departing locally both winter and summer it may attract some interest.
