'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
I thought bmi were flying ERJs to LHR and QR, EK and EY were massively expanding? At some point you guys might realise that your own perception of the general perception is wrong. The Sunday papers are published from London but I think anyone going East knows the way to go is much simpler using MAN.
I hate to be the one to tell you, but you're doing rather well......The reason you have offers over LHR is that it's the only hub airport we have, nothing wrong with that if you're happy to go on price. The joy is that people now have the choice of paying a little more to fly direct. Horses for courses.
