Does anyone have any idea whether there is any medium term plan that LGW will regain some of its European routes? I live a long way from London - 3 hrs from LHR so another hour to LGW but LGW has always been my preference. Cheaper parking or an easier rail connection to the regions,proximity of airport hotels, fewer delays (especially on the in-bound) and a comfortable lounge (complete with "Arsenal John") all made LGW a good choice and with fewer crew based there, I often bumped into the same faces which helped the day along nicely. Only one of the destinations on my regular trip cycle is still served from LGW and I miss it!
