With regards to suggestion that flying from/to Kidlington, whilst taking in to consideration rural public transport and taxi service expenses or travelling by private car at circa £0.40 per mile plus any car parking charges, to save a quid or few on, merely, the air fare(s) versus planning more than a week in advance to fly from/to one's doorstep airport ... Well I know which I'd prefer!
Perhaps the only reason the fares from/to Kidlington remain at the levels they do is because nobody wants them ... were nobody to want the DUB/EDI fares out of LON, BHX, BRS etc. then, just, perhaps those fares would be equivalent or less than the fares from/to Kidlington!
Still curious, mind you, as to what's going to operate Kidlington's New York services?
