For an American, it also ruins using London to connect to the LCC's, and I always like London. I usually stay over at least one night when I connect there. Oh well, from now on it will be somewhere like Frankfurt or Dublin.

For UK air passengers who are also voters, the slogan should be ''DOWN WITH BROWN''

Here's an example itinerary from Ryanair.com for LTN-FEZ on 2/19-3/19:

Code:

Going Out  (Web fare)
  	1 @ 0.01 GBP 	  	0.01 GBP 	 
  	Taxes, Fees & Charges	51.64 GBP 	 
				
	
Coming Back (Web fare)
  	1 @ 0.01 GBP 	  	0.01 GBP 	 
  	Taxes, Fees & Charges	16.78 GBP

The only alternative now, after the new tax and route cutbacks to/from Morocco on Ryanair, is to fly from Girona/Barcelona-Marrakech.
