Well that is certainly unfortunate

As someone who visited one of the seaside resort towns northwest of York many moons ago (name ecapes me now I'm too busy right now to Google for a name but it starts with an S IIRC), I can say it was a downright charming destination ^

OTOH, I suspect I too may well have flown to the beaches of Portugal or Spain if the price on an LCC were the same as train / bus fare to this charming seaside destination. And of course vacations seem more exotic when a passport and a foreign language is involved
