Hi TonyQ. You make an interesting comment regarding the BA LCY route and I fear this is why there is a problem-people seem to have formed the wrong opinion and assumed it is premium. I just took a random date in September-leave London on Friday 25/9 return on Sunday 27/9. Lets look at the cost
BA- £108,52
BE Stansted- £99.38 (add on £18 train fare one way!)
EZY GTW- £110.98 (add on £18 train fare to central London)
IOMX whilst you do a good job of promoting the route I am with Tonyq on this just looked up your dates and return fares are
BA flight is £158 with luggage, £138 without
Flybe £79.00 no luggage
EZY £56.00 no luggage
Also the return rail price to Stansted is £16 for that date not £36
and return rail to LGW is £22 not £36
So there is a premium of at least 45% (including the additional railfare) to fly on BA from LCY on those dates, an expensive bag of peanuts I think
I do use it when its the best cost option though, have a flight from GVA booked via LCY as it saves an overnight stay
