True, not that the Steam Packet fares are that much cheaper....Mind you Winter will soon be around, and you can keep your boat in the seas we get!
BHX-IOM is a mature Flybe route, it was around when the Sheds did the Belfast and Blackpool runs. I doubt very much the W09 twice daily will drop back as being run from the Island it will take into account business travellers, as the change in timings is to move it into business route territory, as it's more leisure focused now.
I wonder what else they might offer up with the the spare aircraft during the day.....?
