I presume you don't travel by the low-cost carriers on their trunk routes at 07.00 on a weekday morning. 50% of pax in business suits.
A lot of the business comes from routes where they provide different options to the old mainstream carriers. Anyone living east or north of London finds Stansted or Luton much quicker to get to than Heathrow. The same goes for many complete routes to places the majors never touched. It is just as practical to do business day returns with the low-costs as with BA. Low costs do indeed say Tough if you miss them. BA say Tough if you are on a domestic flight when there is any disorganisation at Heathrow and they cancel their whole domestic programme. Honours, or lack of them, in these respects about equal for both sides in my experience.
