That's not a "cheapest option" travel agent. That's an incompetent travel agent who doesn't know the relative locations of LHR and HUY. In fact, it may be a travel agent offering the "cheapest" option ticketed on 'their' airline which is offering the agents a weekend to Cancun next month to any who book 20 transatlantic trips this month.
