I think LGW is feeling the bite from EZ on a couple of routes. A couple of the tourist routes have them as well- I first noted those about 6 months ago, AMS was a suprise a couple of weeks back.

It can only be a matter of time before they offer o/w N,V fares etc on all routes from LGW. I suspect its near the top of Willie Wonkas in-tray.

The cheap one-way fares are also available ex-LHR, at least according to ba.com. For example, BA0434 LHR-AMS 4 May 2005 11:35: £34.00+£23.40=£57.40.

So it's a bit wider than an LGW-specific response.

With regard to those one way fares to AMS, why are taxes more at LHR than LGW? ex-LHR (£23.40)and ex-LGW(£18.90). I thought APD and PSC are the same at both airports. Or are there additional charges at LHR?

Regularly flying LON-EDI return I've often asked a similar question re UK domestic - LON-EDI-LON non-fare additions are: LGW-EDI-LGW £36.10, LHR-EDI-LHR £38.20, LCY-EDI-LCY £46.10
