Is this really going to have much of an impact, or is it just window dressing to divert the attention back to LHR? What proportion of their short haul sales are actually made a few days out? I am sure that there are "some" but I would imagine the vast majority are purchased longer out than that?
Having been a victim of their cynical short term cancellations and consolidations on the NCL route, I do have a somewhat jaundiced view of this...
