Agree with most of your post but the LHR is currently 6 on weekdays 5/6 on Sats and 5 on Suns. From Summer I think Sats goes down to 4. However there are some part months when 1 rotation is dropped as has been the case for some time now. So its not quite reduced by half

I can remember the 7 weekday frequency in the past. Was it 737-200s/757s then?

On a seperate point having spoken to several people recently who live in the Newcastle/Durham area, it seems that according to them its much cheaper to fly from other airports to destinations available from NCL even when taking into account travel to those airports and parking.

The examples quoted included Paris, much cheaper from LBA, Limoges much cheaper from MAN and TFS much cheaper again from LBA.

All the people seemed to think it was due to higher fees at NCL?

I realise of course the flights from NCL are longer but that shoud not account for example more than double the fare from NCL to Limoges when compares to the same journey from MAN.
I have even spoken to people who fly to Dubai travelling to MAN rather than there closest airport NCL.

Not Good!
