Good news re CFR.

Have I missed something regarding Naples & Rome? I read the words attributed to Glyn Jones (thanks to tws123 for providing the link). All I saw was a hint to EZY and others that there was potential waiting to be tapped into. Well done to SEN if they are the first in using the data from smartphones - no matter how much I personally recoil at the thought.

But by far for me the most interesting part of the piece was: The Department of Transport has also proposed a mechanism that will allow travellers to dump their bags at a depot in advance and pick up boarding cards before making their own way to the airport at their leisure, or have suitcases collected from their homes.

Now, I would have thought a smart airport like SEN would do well to lead the way with such an idea, particularly as they would only have to work with EZY and Flybe /Stobart to trial the process.
