• Sane people like travel (it broadens the mind, apparently)
• Most people like air travel (genuine phobias aside)
• Flying is safe. US Bureau of Transportation statistics: http://www.bts.gov/publications/national_transportation_statistics/excel/table_02_01.xls
• I like Ryanair (no really!)

All the government can do is manage the demand that these facts generate in the best way they can, for lack of a pithier phrase, by greasing the wheels of commerce. This will facilitate a long suffering public, who will vote with their feet as usual.

• Sane people hate airports (mainly for the points laboured in the various sectioned above)
• The less time they have to spend in them the happier these voters will be.
• The sooner Ryanair go long haul the better. €50 return to New York? Where do I sign?

There may exist a sort of free-flow model for airports, whose primary purpose would be to minimise the time travellers spent there. All operational parameters of such a place would be first & foremost concerned with the throughput of bodies.

Bring on the day brothers & sisters, ‘cause the 1st world has well and truly caught the low airfare bug. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6970730.stm



God bless & happy landings.
