As a very frequent user AGP-BHX losing Norwegian, Vueling and Monarch is quite a blow, add Vueling good BCN connections gone too, not looking good. I'm not aware of Monarch's yield but during last winter period the A321's were pretty much full all the time, including the rows of extra legroom seats. It looks like a few connecting flights with Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Swiss etc. I always take extra legroom seats so the choice is bad, I've looked at some dummy bookings there are days without even one direct AGP-BHX direct service! I don't use Ryanair. A terrific reduction in choice.
