I flew LTN-ALC-LTN this week on EZY, as well as another sunshine trip on FR earlier in the month.

EZY really is a very different experience to the Ryanair boarding scrum - seating is allocated between LTN and ALC now.

A product with allocated seating LHR-EDI/ABZ at half the BA cost would be attractive to much of the O&D traffic between London / the Thames Valley and Scotland. Add to this EZY's policy allowing you to catch any return flight back to London on the same day and they could be on to a real winner.

A colleague of mine, living west of London, whose inlaws are from Glasgow will either take BA (formerly BD too) or drive to LTN for EZY completely dependent on price. I'm sure he's not unique.

Of course BA aren't stupid either and would be unlikely to let EZY have it all their own way - and EZY know this. Maybe they are mutually happy not to fight this war (god forbid the suggestion).
