What's fictional about a list of places (on the mainland, not holiday
islands) flown to from an airport?


As an update, I'm at Luton airport at the moment... flights leaving
between 18.00 and 19.10 a

Glasgow (hmm)
Geneva
Barcelona
Nice
Amsterdam
Milan
Berlin
Belfast (Not HS capable)
Paris
Dortmund

There's an electric railway at the bottom of the hill, with frequent
(but slow) trains to St Pancras. Unfortunately, from further north than
Bedford there's only 1tph (which is why I drove, in addition to an
aversion to trying to use railways to do anything predictable on a
Sunday).

[1] Interestingly, none of these are what I'd call "winter-sun holiday
destinations", which tend to dominate at some other regional airports.
