You'll have to quote a few examples, because I've been flying round Europe at least once a month for the last three or four years, and I think I've only seen it once (a late evening Brussels-Heathrow with BA that came in at 26 Euros plus 56 Euro tax (~£70); not that Brussels is overwhelmed with Budget carriers). It is possible to get cheaper flights by ''non-LoCo'' airlines, I've done it. The Opodo booking engine is one source - it has found me in the past very low rate LHR Wien with OS, and LGW MUC with BA. But that is comparing LHR/LGW like for like. Not had recourse to use Opodo recently, essentially because of EZ at Luton whre I live even if their fare is double the ''full'' airlines cheapest offer, *it dramtcally saves on time and effort and rail fare/ drive park. The only drawback is a route like LTN-VIE (see other comment) is one flight per day and the outbound while a reasonable ~16:00 local time arrival in Wien, and Wien is an excellent city for a stop, my destination is usually further east, and getting the 19:21 ex Bratislava hl.st. to Zvolen is a bit dodgy ... all right on paper, but *only need to slight delayed arrival, missed an s-bahn / CAT, miss the hourly train to Bratislava[*] at 17:28 and I won't make it. [1] Yes In know there are 2 routes making 2 TPH but its not a symetric half hourly service and one goes to Petrzalka which is n.b.g. for a tight connection from hl.st i.e. if miss 17:28 above, the 18:05 to Petrzalka does not get me anywhere. -- Nick What on earth are you talking about? |
