Re EK...QR loads etc
On checking the Sunday travel pages you will find that 90% of long haul destinations ONLY mention LHR as the principal departure point....
to quote the small type... "regional connections to London are of course available".
By the end of summer Manchester will have connections to the Gulf every 120mins with fantastic connections to India, Asia The Far East and Australia etc.
Is there anything that can be done to address the "general perception" that if you want to depart UK on these specific holidays you have no option but to use LHR ?
