Originally posted by aquickgame2 Then that has to be senior level decision to cut those flights. Still doesn't answer my question ( thanks anyway)..they had the business there 110,000 people out and about,when they went skint. I think there is more to this than " not as cheap as the opposition". They'd been skint for a long time - owners declined to fund a loss making business any longer.

Originally posted by Midlands Eagle I must admit that I always forget to look at Luton. I've just checked and there are Easyjet flights but they are a bit more expensive than Gatwick but still nowhere near as expensive as Midlands flights. I must admit that I don't understand flight pricing as a couple of years ago it was cheaper for me to catch a flight from East Midlands to Belfast then another from Belfast to Alicante than it was for me to fly directly to from east Midlands to Alicante which seems ludicrous to me Edited by Midlands Eagle (12 Oct 2017 5.17pm) Edited by Midlands Eagle (12 Oct 2017 5.18pm) Got to agree with you there..I'm lost with all these prices. Got the Eurotunnel to France last week, £168 one way...£108 return...I'm fcked if I know how they work that one out.

You need to understand their busines model - it's the same dynamic that means sometimes advance first class rail tickets are cheaper than second.
