LPL and EI
Agreed , you may recall EI were forced to leave LPL one of its oldest routes as FR at the time were bankrupt and for sale , pre MOL ,
The then GVT made STN and LPL exclusive to FR , this rule has lapsed but it probably has ruined LPL for EI for now , better to get Manchester on a higher frequecny , even BLK as once EI go to LPL you will get a very quick sharp FR reaction and no airline wants to incur a bloodbath at the moment .
But I have fond memories of the BAC 1-11 at Speke, three times daily and yes the APEX fare was even affordable ....
