For anyone who even begins to understand the airline industry it’s fairly obvious that ticket prices of £35 to Heathrow are never going to happen ! Oh they will (well almost £35ish)... just not from IOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need another race to the bottom. £70ish each way seems about a fair fare. I know people expect things from £19 like Easyjet. But it's not going to work for every flight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said I was aware that there was something going on with an app, I haven't actually been following this thread much. My understanding was that, like the new Mersey crossing, you logged on and paid after you had parked and within a day or so? Not downloading apps before parking, that is the most stupid idea I have ever heard. How would anyone who isn't a complete knowall local twat know to do this? IoMG are just so out of touch and up themselves, how else could anyone explain the decision making behind this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add - until it was suspended - I paid less than 40 quid each way between Leeds and Heathrow on Flybe several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned other routes I was referring to the Isle of Man and that there would be no £35 fares to Heathrow. Frankly fares like that will help nobody as its not sustainable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I do know that they are being forced to pay full whack airport fees by IOM on Heathrow, not on BHD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHD is a new route (Easyjet operate to Aldergrove not City) and therefore they do get a waive of fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, BHD-LHR isn't exactly new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you feel lonely on those flights?. I imagine there is a good reason those flights were dropped quickly.
