Problem is that the margins on these charter flights are so tight that they are being undercut by FR who are the masters of operating on tight budgets. EI operated to Rome with fares averaging €250-€450, and they pulled out. Short city breaks need to have a cheap flight to work. For the sort of prices to Rome you could get a 4 day package to Spain /Portugal with EI or FR holidays. If you go to travel agent you will find yourself more than likly being quoated an FR package.
