Chris789, I don't fly from LGW very often. My outbound journeys (minus the issue I described below) have been positive and South is much improved. Where I would grumble is about the inbound...

It will be interesting to see how this works out.

Canary Wharf - Stratford - SEN is an easy journey. It is a slightly captive audience though. If one needs to travel Berne-London, it would be a...

I was on the Air One to Catania last week, I think Blink's comments are true.

I'm not convinced of the longevity of this.

At one time not so long ago they flew into STN up to 5/6 weekly and used an A330 on weekends in the summer. On top of that were at least 2 daily to LHR...

I think this is a sure sign that EIR's days are numbered at SEN, which is a shame as pax numbers have been increasing and the route now seems to be exclusively 72s.
