Some notes from EasyJet land.
These passengers are certainly not paying the famous cheap fares, I assure you! (current on-line quote for a flight tomorrow afternoon to Edinburgh is £91.50 one way. Fare in a month's time is £6.50). Easyjet's cheaper fares keep the aircraft going off-peak, and those flights I suppose are those that get favoured by visitors from across the Atlantic, who then think it looks like a leisure market operation.

Airlines in the US sometimes charge hundreds of dollars for a short flight. So EZY's Edinburgh fare that you quoted looks still looks like a bargain. My flight to Spain was booked a few days before but still was cheap, though not as cheap as the adverts that I saw around London.
Thanks for the explanation about why magazines are collected.
