The airspace in the SE is already some of the most congested in the world.
When was the last there was a blue sky over london on a clear day? We don't
need or want any more air traffic. Too bad if people can't take a flight with
24 hours notice.


You need just as much capacity for people booking flights months in
advance.


Not necessarily. People who can't find a last minute flight to go on a w/e
break probably won't rebook for a few months ahead, they'll either not bother
or just go somewhere else using another method of transport.


I don't know anyone who flies for leisure at the last minute, especially
on low-cost airlines - because those fares are the very highest.
