Oh blow.
I'm likely to use BRS-EWR more this year than in the previous 5 combined (less Asia, more America), and it gets pulled. I rather suspect that the dramatic increase in capacity at LHR has quite a bit to do with it - both in terms of passenger demand from the West, and Continental's own assessment of where to put aircraft.
It still surprises me to find people who don't know you can fly to New York from Bristol, or still go pootling off to London like sheep. I may use LHR, but primarily because I've got *G status, and I'm not prepared to fly SkyTeam to Asia.
More worryingly, LCCs continue to form the overwhelming presence at the airport, and that can't be helpful for positioning the airport as valuable to business and the region. When KL/AF have got a stranglehold on business flying with just 6 flights a day, it's not a great position to work from.
