Couldn't agree more!!

No germany (berlin, munich?)

no czech republic (prague)

no Canada (Toronto) - Capital city in uk, and no YYZ.
Transat operate Exeter not BFS? Could tax be the reason?

There are no real "out of the ordinary" routes - Spain, Spain and more Spain!

Will Sanford return for Summer '12 do you think? Currently not on the TCX Website.
Yes APD is the main reason for long haul not working at BFS, its ok in the mainland when all airports are under the same tax, the airports in the mainland dont have an airport 2 hrs away with almost zero tax..

The routes currently served from BFS work, and thats why they will always stay / increase frequency, its just what the N.I traveller wants.. sun and cheap alcohol.

Sanford probably will return for peak season, as far as i remember it took thema while to release this years flights.
