Funnily enough, it was exactly the same route we were contemplating for this April. In the old scheme, CE via LGW was just about justifiable, with the healthy dose of TPs to go with it. But now, £500 per person on Jet2 or Tui direct from GLA to ACE versus £1100 on BA via LGW (plus extra for an overnight in LGW) has become a no brainer.
