OLT destinations

With Dresden as a desitination, I think it must be well advertised, and local travel agents encouraged to set up short break holidays there. Maybe most Essex people do not know what to see and do in Dresden, but I like the city very much...for say 3 nights. If the tickets are kept below £200 return I am sure OLT could fill a Saab 2000 during summer months. If the local Germans have wishes to visit London, a FK100 would be suitable too. Saarbrucken is a more difficult case. At Luxembourg the competition to London is high with Luxair and CityJet already busy on the LCY route, BA to LHR, and now the new EZY route to LGW. However, Saarbrucken is one hour's drive from Lux so the city (which is largely populated and surrounded by many smaller towns) may feel pleased to have their own local connection to London. SEN is more than ideal for this market, provided they can keep the ticket price below £150 return to remain competitive. That's my opinion.
