EasyJet's dropping of NCL-STN is just more proof (if any were needed)that they have totally abandoned the NCL base. In a year's time I imagine there'll be a press release saying the base will close as yields have fallen, despite just a couple of years ago sayingit was one of their best performing bases. Hardly any wonder as they have dropped loads of routes.
But this is foolish. Newcastle is not actually near anywhere. If I wanted to fly cheaply then I would have to drag myself to EDI or LDS and of course petrol or trains aren't cheap.
There was a time that the dropping of the route would have upset me, but as Easy have lost interest in NCL I have lost interest in them (I'm sure they'll get over it
).
Bearing in mind the additional costs of going to other regional centres such as those I mentioned above, it is just as cheap to go with KLM or BA - they don't charge a fortune for a cup of tea, there's no unseemly scramble for seats and I don't have to worry about baggage fees.
Cheerio EasyJet - nice knowing you.
