North-South Wales Airlink is affordable for all

Hard to see why Twin Aisle berates the North / South Wales airlink being resumed by Manx2.com next week.

He appears to sneer that it's not for ordinary mortals. Has he compared the Manx2 fares with the train fares ? Evidently not . The train fare - one way - is £69.80 (and it takes over 5 hours) . The Manx2 air fare is just £39 and the flight takes less than an hour. What's not to like?

If anything it's the (heavily subsidised) train which is for the rich. Manx2 is for those ordinary travellers with much lighter wallets - who actually DO pay UK tax.
