But I would hope that an important business/leisure/VFR route would have a schedule reflecting that - but beggars can't be choosers with low cost airlines, who fly the route purely for maximum revenue, rather than balancing revenue and customer service. We have 2 airlines, operating utterly crap schedules to 3 cities in the South West, and one operating an extortionately expensive route to Wales... And it's ridiculous
It isn't ridiculous - it's market forces. How important a route was it before a EZY arrived, couple of DHC-8's a day? How is a weekday service from Newcastle to Exeter (EXETER!!) crap?

Flying NCL-BRS has always been the cheapest option
Now that is ridiculous....
