Can anyone explain to me the difference between Route Speculation (the title of this thread) and Wild Fantasy Lists (not the title of this thread)?
I don't think we're far off someone suggesting Cardiff to China because there are a lot of Chinese chippies in the area and therefore any airline would make a 'killing'. Or perhaps a Newcastle to Mexico City route because someone was talking to some Mexicans in a nightclub and they were complaining about hard it was to get to Newcastle.
Perhaps as a rule of thumb, before posting these fantasy lists, posters might ask themselves: would they launch such a route using their own money, (as opposed to expecting someone else to do it with their money) would they expect a profit from doing so and more importantly how would they expect to make a profit?
