I believe bmi have pulled out of BFS again leaving the LCC on the majority of the routes.
BFS has never been high yielding routes so perhaps better to leave to the easyjets and ryanairs of the world.
Now if Ryanair started a LTN-Quimper/Brest service I might even think about slumming it with `em....I`m one of the Herts population you talk of...
