Quite surprised at some of those figures, good to see routes doing well.. as already said on the LDY thread, April and May will be confusing months with the ash clouds..

as a comparison for Belfast to Alicante (used 2011 for EZY, EI and LS and 2012 for WW) this could be an unfair way of looking at it, but anyway.. dates are a little different due to schedules

EZY

Dep - 14th Aug, Return - 21st Aug
1 Bag @ £25 (no mention if this is in total or 1 way, never booked baggage with ezy before)
1x Adult
Total - £183.98

EI

Dep - 16th Aug - Return 20th Aug
1 Bag @ - £24 (£12, each way, online purchase)
1x Adult
Total - £181.36

LS

Dep - 15th Aug - Return - 22nd Aug
1 Bag @ £31.98
1x Adult
Total - £193.96

WW (2012)

Dep - 13th Aug - Return 20th Aug
1 Bag @ £31.98
1x Adult
Total - £173.96

now the flights by EZY, EI and LS are this year, just a few months away and the prices are between £180-£200, WW who have only just announced their flights and probably have very little booked compared to EZY, EI and LS, due to it being next year and yet they are charging almost £174

now that could be a completely unfair way to judge pricing, but the fact that the flights by EZY, EI and LS already have id say around 100+ sold for that time of year..

Edit - I could have missed options or clicked the wrong buttons, was done quickly, if anyone else wants to try it, feel free
