So all I am saying is, If the few people I talked to,12 including me, All would have chosen to fly from an Airport North of London just how many people on that one flight traveled from north of London. The demand is there, Airlines are trying to save money so why not STN or LTN ?
What's wrong with airlines saving money? It's hard enough to make any. American Airlines recently operated STN-JFK and walked away. It's not just about demand from the women of Cumbria, it's about the wealthy and those filling business class up front that work on the M4 corridor. There is a critical mass at Heathrow that's impossible to replicate. Why else did CO walk away from EWR-BRS? They got more bang for their buck flying that little bit further to LHR.
