Ah... What it must be like having the choice between 3 different London airports on 2 different LCC's. Not to mention the other 2 (completely different) London airports available down the road on 3 other carriers...

5 airlines to 5 London area airports and there is still room to complain about a relatively minor reshuffle. There's still a LGW service and there is no/negligible net loss. This without mentioning the fact that, in all likelihood, EZY/FR will both come out of this stronger by offering flights to their respective hubs, both of which will soon have connection opportunities.

Congratulations Belfast, this is one of the very few examples EVER of the market actually being in favour of the consumer. Normally in aviation, you would have expected to see FR dumping seats into LGW and EZY dumping seats into STN until one or both gave in and BFS was left worse off than it was before.

Sincerely, a begrudged geordie suffering at the hands of the BA monopoly, refusing to pay £350 to fly to London
