But that has always been the case for the UK if they only do SH flying to Europe. Sometimes its been easier for people to fly a LCC from an airport closer to the home / office instead of trying to get to LHR.

I was hoping that this thread by henky http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...inlanders.html Would make it easier to find a carrier who would do well in Europe with Sh flights. But so far nothing has shown that one airline is better.

I dont really want to go AF. In some ways Lufthansa seem as bad as BA.
