This Friday I will be setting a northerly course and heading into the unknown that is Yorkshire. I am off to Huddersfield to see Monsieur Reedy. This means either a 6hr train ride from Plymouth, or an 11hr coach trip. Thank god then that I can fly from Plymouth to Manchester which is only 55 Min's from Huddersfield. Interestingly enough I will have a quick stop-off at Bristol while they load more pax and hopefully not offload my baggage. This option takes 3 hrs total.
I was looking around at the price for this trip and I have paid £156.75 for the privilege. Interestingly the flight from Bristol-Manchester is the bit that costs £156.75, and the Plymouth leg is costing me nothing. (I looked how much just going from Bristol would be.) And yet to fly Plym to Bristol costs from £22 single. So they either cant justify making me pay more, or they like to con more from the people of Bristol.
Interestingly enough I have found this out about Bristol International Airport. They cover all costs and come into profit from car parking charges alone. All other charges etc are pure profit. SO that's landing fees, taxiing fees, refueling charges, ground handling charges, rental from shops/airlines- check in desks, terminal duty fees, security fees and prob a few hundred more.
No wonder its the most expensive regional airport in Britain!
