exlatccatsa,
I believe the south coast travel agent in question (I assume you mean Bath Travel) is offering cruises with flights from EXT and BOH. Maybe bookings are thin, and they think that can fill the seats with "rich Aberdonians".
NewScot,
Interesting news about the runway extension: where did you hear that?
I only ask because I know that the decision was due last Friday but BAA hasn't made a public announcement either way yet.
