Another hour+ travelling by road potentially in the dark doesnt fill me with pleasure to be honest.
Will the travelling public accept these regional outposts as Boston and New York, esp if the '£69 fare' is FR style marketing spin. Its likely to be £200+ with standard add ons which is not much less than some EI fares to the major city hubs. The CAA stats presumably will show these seperately to let judge loads and demand. Wonder who these flights are marketted at - inbound, outbound or a bit of both.
In interesting experiment definitely, one that will be closely watched.
Wonder what the facilities for international multi flight immigration will be, and provisions for delays.
