New route: LCY to Bergerac - 1 May 2016
There is a new route starting from London City airport from 1 May 2016, to Bergerac Dordogne Périgord Airport. Three or four times weekly until September 2016, so a rather short season. This is going to be up against Flybe Southampton and Ryanair Stansted. I think I've seen some charters go there, but otherwise I think this is a totally new route (?). So a new code for us to remember: EGC.

Because TLS and to a lesser extend BOD are not convenient for the UK annex in France.

Because not everyone wants a 2 Hour drive after landing?

I'd prefer BIQ, but still another LCY option is great.

It's not nicknamed Dordogneshire for nothing!

I thought it was Cell Block H and thus a new direct flight to Melbourne!
