Re the BHD/BFS debate
Heres how I see it, Joseph Public will go where the cheap flights go.
Saving a tenner on the fare will be the straw that breaks the camels back regardless if means that you actually pay more to get to your departure point, we just see the £19.99 flashing up on the screen and we are sold.
You won't be thinking what if it's a howler on the return flight and you can't get into Sydenham, you won't be thinking that's an extra ten miles up to Aldergrove, you got a bargain fare and, well, "you're so money supermarket"
For me its simple, and to be honest I do have a slight allegiance to AA here, I don't really care about distance, facilities or the cost of car parking.
What I do care about is I've been up from 4, spent the day listening to 99% rubbish, negotiated traffic, car hire return, and most importantly I want to get back from where I came, get in my car and go home.
One piece of concrete has never let me down.
