Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

At bristol the flights dh used to use most have disappeared....and were often empty, so there was over catering in some respects there.
Here we are probably the same time, though not distance, from heathrow and bristol.......if bristol offered the flights we needed we would not go to the se airports. Dh seems to do an awful lot through gatwick.
