I quite agree, I dropped my wife off on a Wednesday recently and the airport seems to go through a siesta over the middle of the day. On Sunday it was awash with flights in the afternoon, although my son got very bored of easyJet! I think the long stay may be a bit cheaper.
Very true, I looked at the live flight info on their website this morning and it was 90-95% EZY. Guess that'll change a bit as we head towards summer, but still.....
