    Presumably they have to pay you to go to Luton?
    Actually I prefer Luton over Heathrow or Gatwick - Its a small airport where getting in and out is a breeze

    Not sure why you dont like it

      Word on the street is they have just implemented a bespoke BPM tool in a safety critical area.

        £70 return from luton to Copenhagen or Luton to zurich is insane given that the landing costs are unusually high in both airports and more importantly the times suit commuters really well

        7AM flight out of luton - 9PM flight on Thursday

        If Monarch are in trouble you can bet easyjet and ryanair are feeling the pinch as well
        The other airlines add/remove routes as a minimum twice yearly depending on the routes profitability and don't just concentrate on filling planes on particular routes. They need the planes full on most of their routes and at the times they fly otherwise they will remove the flight or in some cases remove the route completely.

        Monarch was apparently flying planes half empty for over 6 months. Easyjet/Ryanair/Norwegian/other low cost operator would have realised within 3 months that flight/route wasn't profitable and would have axed it.

          So which Airline will be next? Maybe one of the smaller ones, I'm going with Scottish Airline Logan air who recently lost their franchise with FlyBe and face competition form FlyBe's new Franchisee it's a head to head battle.

            Problem is very few would notice if they are gone.

                And Flybe is gone as well. Brexit was the start of their problems, Corona gave the final push
