There's no point courting airlines to do the same old routes. All it does is split yield and ultimately cost jobs. For all the pontificating Ryanair do about cheap fares, they seldom beat what's on offer on our own patch. This winter I have scooped several sub £50 returns to London from BFS and even a sub £60 from BHD. There's plenty around if you're flexible. No need for a manky harp-tail.
