Thanks B_T for clarification re seating capacity of bmi regional E145s.

The Helvetic route to ZRH is 4 x weekly this summer (M, W, F and Su) but, as you point out, the lack of connectivity is frustrating.

I was scanning the travel press and came across this reported comment from Flybe's MD in an article about the change of owership at Exeter Airport: Given the recent fare increases at Bristol Airport, Exeter should be able to capitalise on its position as the premier airport in the South West and the next few years at the airport look set to be an exciting period.’

See this link for full report Optimism over Exeter Airport sale | Travel News

What fare increases are these? Flybe's? All airlines using BRS? Are they across the board? Can't say I've noticed a general increase in fares recently.

Or is he actually talking about airline charges at the airport, rather than fares, something rumoured to be behind Ryanair's decision to reduce its base size at BRS this summer?
