Ten West,

Thomson also sell 'seat only' and until FR showed up, offered a daily flight to Malaga from BOH. FR has pushed TOM to reduce their services from BOH. You will also find that the Malaga Airport that FR fly to is the same as the Malaga Airport that TOM fly to. TOM have not been able to compete on price, couple that with diluted market share/demand, they've reduced their services to this destination.

Personally I choose not to fly FR when possible. Sadly my choice from BOH is shrinking and will have to use the cattle truck services offered by FR. I used to love FR and would sing their praises, but after flying with them 4 times in six months last year and experiencing some very dodgy landings, I've joined the masses of moaners who are fed up with the battle for a seat that starts every FR journey. Followed by the Fly, Fly, Ryanair jingle and scratchcard madness.
