Plan to pedestrianise London's Oxford Street scrapped
In message , at 20:22:32 on Mon, 11 Jun
2018, Graeme Wall remarked: It's a marginal problem. Some destinations aren't worth flying to with either the transfer passengers or the local passengers as the sole load. Add the two together, and you have a full plane which makes a profit, as against two part full ones, neither of which is profitable. It costs almost the same to fly empty as full. So currently no actual examples from either roland or you. I remember when flights to Seattle from Heathrow were only four times a week. Picking up transfer passengers from Europe meant they could go to daily. Although I quite liked being "stranded" in Seattle for a day after my meeting ended - I could play tourist. Not every businessman would think the same. As long as you weren't sleepless I was there almost a decade before the film. On the other hand, in between then and the film, I did arrange to meet someone on that same viewing deck of the Empire State Building. Art imitating life. -- Roland Perry |
