Another point is that flying to Halifax from BHD would be prohibitively expensive seeing as the UK air passenger duty just rapes the holidaymaker of their hard earned cash, such to the extent that on taxation alone, you'll still be financially better off driving the 100 or so miles from Belfast to Dublin, many people do this already. If say you're travelling as a family of four, (£69x4 = insanity (£276)).

I'm surprised that the Halifax service is taking off, but nevertheless I do wish all involved in it the very best of luck. It'll be very interesting to see what happens with this route and it's 320s (as alluded to originally). A question for MCDU2, are the plans being publicly unveiled this week or internally for the time being?

Thanks,
