Snipes, I understand your point completely. Fly to an obscure destination or go somewhere just because its cheap and then pay double the air fare for onward transportation and hotels.......airlines are in a tailspin partly because of the complete and utter long term unsustainability of charging such cut throat low prices. Great for the customer (and I am one that has taken advantage many times of such deals) but at what price for airlines? A heavy one it would seem especially for EI now rumoured to be moving its HQ to the UK to keep as a going concern. I would suggest that a very high % of loco routes would simply not operate from the majority of airports if they were costed to truly take account of the true cost of operating it as well as the damage to the environment. Time will tell.....
