I am trying to go the the Scillys early sept.
I looked at the air fare on friday and found that they had gone down. There were £47.5 and £52.5 one way fares.
I was about to book the next day and found that they had all gone up...£80 one way for a 15 mn plane ride from Lands End. That is an absolute joke!
There is a decrease in the nb of people going there.... it is not surprising!
B&B are the same. Expect to pay £80 to £90 for a tiny room.
Hotels are also extortionate. There is a 2* where there is just space to move around the bed for £160 a night!
I know the season is short but the prices are so outrageous that The locals are killing the business.
And £190 return on BIH does help either. The article mentions that the money BIH would make selling the piece of land would enable them to buy new equipment......maybe a 1/4 of a helicopter!
For those who know where the heliport is there are already 2 hypermarkets there, Do they need a 3rd one?
And why did Skybus/Lands End refused BIH to restart the business from Lands End.
Everyone seems to be shooting in their own foot.
