In an ideal world I'd fly from BHX but the flights just aren't there. It makes you wonder just how much potential business the airport looses
Hmm , not quite true , i just had a look at AF/KLM & DLH and they both offer flights to pisa and return from rome , albeit via their hubs of course. It's not particularly cheap but the legacy carriers are not very keen if you want open ended return flights.
I hear their service is quite good and they offer a better baggage allowance which I think I'll need for a fortnight away!
No worries about that from a legacy carrier (another cost to be factored in compared to "low cost)
oh the joys of being a single spoke in a hub are endless
