It could be argued that we are lucky in the UK due to the proliferation of budget airlines available to whisk us away somewhere warm from a wide variety of regional airports. Despite the highest aviation taxes in the world it is still possible to obtain relatively cheap flights for any type of holiday to destinations as far away as Sharm el Sheikh or Marrakech. This must be a good thing.
The onset and expansion of airlines such as easyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair has allowed passengers to be selective about whom they fly with or to simply take the cheapest price. What are your own booking methods? After experiencing budget airlines do you now say for example 'I'll never fly Ryanair' or 'I will only use easyJet' so that you can purchase speedy boarding and be on the plane first?
The industry leader in terms of volume is the irrepressible Michael O'Leary of Ryanair who would argue that his service is simply the same as catching a bus from your home to the nearest town but his service happens to be one that operates in the sky. Do you agree with his philosophy about your holiday starting with an A to B transit in the air or do you wish to return to a romantic notion of air travel where you get a gin and tonic and a bag of peanuts? Would you say that there is scope for an airline which offers a simple price to include air fare, 20kg luggage allowance and complimentary drinks on board at a competitive price to holiday destinations to Spain or Turkey?
