I just booked return to Heathrow on BA for two weeks time and it cost about 
the same as the price of petrol to drive to London...and it is about the 
same price as Easyjet to some God forsaken airport near London paying for 
all their extras?    .... what's the snag...I don't see one apart from the 
fact it might be an AIRBUS? ......

I think you'll find that Heathrow turns out to be the snag!

Go EZY to Gatwick, much better.

YMMV!

Sick bags that double as film reprocessing bags, lottery tickets and 
mobile phone cards from companies you've never heard of, the only thing 
missing from a Ryanair flight is the on board bingo! Give me Sqeezyjet 
every time!

Ah but to they? Are they another country like EI that only requires 
Morse for their own nationals but waives it for those with overseas 
HAREC qualifications?

They expect you to take your own tea and biscuits and tip the crew.

Nick.
