3 of us flew to KTW 6 weeks ago Rammed out and back. Cheap fare out andmore expensive coming back and with the add ons worked out at £127 return each. Base fare isn't really a indicator anymore especially when the so called lo cos are charging for everything else.
Yes not a good base however come back in a few months and you will see.

O'Leary is the grand hyperbole general. The amount of rubbish he spouts is criminal. Anyhow there is an opportunity to make money from a uk airport he will be there. People will still fly brexit or no brexit, and airlines will capitalise on it. Even if FR don't base aircraft in UK airports it won't stop them operating in such an enormous market, they would be foolish not to and would only help the competition. The UK will be looking to grow financially now, just look at the 12.5% business tax coming to NI and the 15% tax for the rest of the UK....thats the way it will rock.
Well will Osborne have a job in September.....it's just a panic reaction to calm the waters. I will be surprised if it happens and any change will completely depend on what EU agreement they come away with as 15% tax and not been able to do x, y or z in EU market is worthless. Tax experts predict it will damage any benefit to NI of 12.5% rate.

Brexit will cause a more centralized route network to Eastern Europe by all carriers if movement is capped.
