Well, decided to walk with our feet , increase our carbon footprint, and go from Bristol instead. Going with Easy Jet - over £100 cheaper. (I expect all the airlines will jump on the band-waggon now though - this will be the end of cheap flights now - just when we were all beginning to have something to look forward to!
Also heard something on the radio this morning about some legislation going through parliament today, which if passed, will add another £40+ to each person flying to offset carbon footprints.
JOY!
