This easyJet knocking is all very amusing if a little pointless.

You could find tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands of examples, of BA being cheaper than ezy.

That means very little when ezy alone will fly some 12 million plus passengers this year.

Sometimes they will be more expensive and sometimes less.

However the average fare should be and is considerably cheaper than BA. That's the way the loco thing works. Don't just take my word for it. Southwest have made a long standing and very profitable business doing just this in the US.

In any case, ezy confirmed today their yeilds are down 6 per cent on a year ago. That would suggest their fares are going down - not up.
