HAL drops domestic fees - speculation on new routes
From Head for Points
HAL will from the domestic fees per passenger by £5. The plan is to increase the number of UK destinations served from Heathrow to 14 from the current eight by 2025 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...127556d5bc.gif |
will we see these cost reductions being reflected in low fares on domestic flights?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha [Edit, sorry were you being serious?] |
Let's not forget Plymouth, closed by an unscrupulous property developer but now protected by the local council and ready to be re-opened

Jersey would be good to avoid the LGW to LHR schlep on long haul ex-JER trips.

A LCY-LHR would be nice :D

As PSC is separately charged to passengers as one of the TFC, I would expect the reduction to flow straight through. If you price LHR-EDI and look at the TFC breakdown (eg on ITA), you will see the PSC line shows £14.30; if you price LHR-AMS, the PSC is £19.30. All that is exactly as the HfP article says.
The winner here , I expect, will be the airline rather than the passenger |

I expect that the PSC line item will reduce and by an incredible coincidence , at the same time, the fare component will increase by exactly the same amount
The corresponding base fare on 30 December 2017? £51.00. |
OK, I'l play: IOM, JER, NQY, CWL, LSI and CAX. The last would be a good place for a Do, since they have a café, albeit named Café Stobart.
This may be a side-show to the 3rd Runway non-event (given the government's current majority): LGW promised to subsidise regional routes - provided they were awarded a new runway instead of LHR. |

Pricing LHR-EDI today with the reduced PSC - base fare OV2RO of £51.00 (plus GDS fee of £8.00 if using ITA).

SOU would be a good bet as to give south-west trains some competition and not having to go into london using the tube or the HWX or catching the bus from Woking.

Dundee
