Throughout the early to mid 1990s I flew many times on BA’s route to Gaborone – Botswana being an ex-colony – initially from LGW via Lusaka on DC10s, and from about 1995 on 744s, which flew down to JNB and then back up to GBE (usually with about 50pax!) where it day stopped to return to LHR via JNB in the evening. The flight was made wice weekly. I believe the route was stopped shortly after BA begun operating Comair as a franchise and BA pax flew from JNB to GBE on Comair ATR42s.
I would count Blackpool, Milan Bergamo (no further from Milan than LGW is from London), Newquay, Genoa, St Ettienne, Reims, altsburg, Shannon and Murcia as the ones I can draw from memory that ‘go to where they say’ if you know what I mean.
The whole notion of food on short-haul flights does puzzle me. On a train journey – say london to Manchester, you have to pay for your food, why should a similar time flight be any different? in addition danairboy, a £10 reduction in the average fare (say) and the option to purchace some food at my discretion I would say is a good deal
Could you explian how it works to me? Do you approach airlines or do they approach you? Reason I am interested is that I’m aware that there are millions in corporate re-branding wondering how you aim to take a slice of this?
