To be honest cornishsimon I was thinking more of the route to BHX being more heavily used ex PLY rather than NQY. Sorry for any confusion here but that's why I was using journey times from there rather than NQY plus it also has potentially a greater catchment area. Appreciate that for operational reasons ASW need to base the a/c at NQY but if they were to go year round (twice a day) then that would be of overall more advantage to people compared to the BMI Baby summer only service which I believe is only available 4 days of the week & thus cannot offer day return trips which is so important to business travellers.
GROUNDHOG - it's year-on-year e.g. Dec '08 vs. Dec '07 & so on for Nov & Oct as well, so no summer months involved here.
