The problem we have is that MOL has managed to convince the travelling public that they can fly anywhere for 9.99 - a few can, but only as loss leaders. Running an airline isn't cheap. If you go back 15 years ago, pax were paying over £350 for a GLA-SOU return on a J31/J41 which would be £500 return today and the airlines were struggling to break even. Domestic airline fares are cheaper than they ever were. Looking at other modes of transport I've just looked at National Express for a day next month and the first day I looked at is quoting a single ticket GLA-BOH for £69 by bus or £140 by rail. £58 or even £80 for 2 flights GLA-MAN-BOH doesn't seem unreasonable by comparison.
