Ha! In the meantime, GLA-NOC and ABZ-GRQ have become standing jokes over on the BD forum. NWI-NOC isn't out the question, given what's known as their 'schizophrenic route strategy'.
There are several LCC routes from London that surprise me - Blackpool is one. I always assumed that it was only Scots and Northerners up there (it always was when we used to drive down from Paisley...) ScotAirways' LCY-DND service, too. Southampton to the Scilly Isles. And how come we now have three airlines (SkyEurope, AUA and Easy) competing on LON-BTS?
On longer distances, too, there are some obscure ones from the UK. BRS-EWR? RDU-LGW? LGW-JIB? I also note that Astraeus have started up flights to Simferopol and Uralsk.
