Zagreb see above . Croatia is all about the Adriatic.

As LHR-LAX points out both Seville and Florence likely by Vueling soon.

Give up on Russia for the foreseeable future - The Economy is sunk.

Further Eastern Europe well just Bucharest left of any value imo.

Manchester and the North West probably needs to resurrect some of the Southern France routes again as the economy continues to improve and as for Italy how's about Rimini and Brindisi both were popular some years ago before Italy priced itself out of the UK mass tourist markets.

As for Santiago De Compostela/Vigo something tells me these would perform better from Ryanair out of Liverpool among certain communities.

From Manchester with Vueling wouldn't they go to A Coruna if they operated into this region ?
Interesting and I especially agree with you regarding developing more in the south of France. I'm surprised Biarritz didn't work for FR from MAN. It looks like new FR routes are now coming on sale across the FR network so it will be interesting to see if there is anything for us in there as we are in one of the fastest growing regions of the UK.

Regarding Santiago de Compostela wasn't it one of the FR routes from LPL pre-FR at MAN that was eventually pulled? I could easily see it working from MAN pulling the well healed weekend break crowd as does Bilbao and Porto - so probably a good fit for EZY.
