@LordSpandex "For example NCL to NCE 26/7 returning 28/7 for two adults -"
No new economy available because it's all Air France - and actually cheaper to be booked through AirFrance (I suspect including luggage, not sure about the impact of their new Hop! model).
@hampshireheady " LCY-ORY is £111, Flybe SOU-ORY was around the £160 mark."
Isn't £49 premium quite reasonable for not having to venture into London (given the time that takes) - of course depends how close one lives to London and how close to SOU, but I cannot see £160 being a rip-off at all (and Cityjet/AF certainly makes a loss with £111 ex LCY - with obviously the future of Cityjet being not very certain at all with AF trying to dispose of them).
