Grrr "low cost airlines"

Interesting to read most recent posts re Easy pricing policy
Low cost airline my eye!
Just another example of the cynical and immoral approach this company have to their customers.
Sooner we build a tunnel to Scotland the better!

Aviation is not low cost. The ability to get on a flight for a tenner is, to me, a crazy notion. That's why Ezy, FR etc, only offer the first few seats at the lowest price. From then on, the price will go up, by how much is dictated by demand and milking the yield. If you look to book a week or so before during the English half term, don't be surprised to spend £200+!! I think a return flight to England or Scotland for less than £100 is a bargain.

Often at late notice, switching to the more legacy type carriers will get you a better fare, especially when you factor in bags etc.

If they have lower costs than a "legacy" airline then they can comfortably describe themselves as low cost. If you are thinking of paying only £5 or £10 for a ticket, then you are in need of a low fare airline. It's not rocket science, is it?

BFS Dude, sorry that's all I've heard.

Fingers crossed. The place certainly needs a boost.

A Belgian airline bought by Cityjet years ago and absorbed by them. Cityjet's new owners are resurrecting them

How many times does it need to be said on this site that the BFS wiki page is full of nonsense compiled by kids and uninformed anoraks?

There appear to be people on various local "forums" who take pleasure in starting false rumours by cross-populating this garbage.
