Surely an Italian route for summer must be worth considering? Strong demand coupled with typically high fares ex Dublin in summer must make this attractive.
Other than that maybe a canaries route.....

On the subject of routes, with the BE withdrawal from Gatwick, I wouldn't be surprised if EZY increased frequency on BFS LGW by at least 1 per day or launched BHD LGW. Yes they said last foray into BHD delivered no 'tangible' benefits, but this is quite different... Watch this space.!

Cannot see EZY splitting LGW between the Belfast airports.
06.25 early flight, last arrival 22.40 and by reports LF are good on these flights from BFS.
Fingers crossed for Monday, but this is a rumour thread!!!!

Gazmo; I'd agree, would seem odd splitting the Gatwick route but a few things to bear in mind ;
Last month BHD LGW had 42k pax
Whereas BFS LGW has 32k , performance driven by low prices and peak season but given that EI are getting a very respectable proportion on the business on FAO and AGP, EZY may want to cement their overall LGW market share.
Feels like so far they are replicating BE routes eg night stop at INV (rather than launch a new/diff route) , JER announced and rumours of NCL( though I doubt this one ). We shall wait and see...

EI-BUD
Agree to an extent with your views, yes BHD to LGW 42K pax but that is with seven flights per day (assuming weekdays) compare to EZY five.
I think EI will go to four daily to LGW from BHD but that still leaves a sizeable gap, since no SEN and the four daily BE to LGW.
EZY might consider upping STN as they promised new owners an increase in the coming years. Could certainly see a sixth EZY to LGW on selected days from BFS
You state JER announced. Am I correct in assuming this is referring to LGW to JER or have you heard something about BFS to JER?
