Bratislava did very well and regularly had a load factor of 90% but as for the yield I dont know. I have been convinved for some time that anywhere up to about 2 hours, 2hr 15min or up to a max of 2.5 hrs would do reasonably well from Cork. The sad exception from a personal interest point of view is, of course, Madrid. Even now still a bit sore over that failure. It is when the flight time goes up to around 3 hours plus the locos, be they EI, FR, W6, the former C0 or the former Sky Europe, are much slower to give Cork a try out. The exception has been W6 as they seem able to get the best out of the longer flights to Ireland. I wish Wizz could be persuaded to try Budpest again and to be able to offer a few connections ex BUD. I think BTS would work from Cork and EI would be able to get away with a higher fare compared to Sky Europe but if they were ready to go there or thereabouts it would be a more full on attempt and go to Vienna all together.
