Sir - Mr Jeandrain's letter (Flight International, 4-10 October, P69) leaves me confused.
He tells us that ticket prices are on the decline, then he says that it is cheaper to fly indirectly to one's destination. Finally, he concludes that it is all happening because of government subsidies.
As a former member of AEROPA, Mr Jendrain should know that indirect routings are intentionally priced lower, to compete with direct ones. It is also evident that, if one's spare time is plentiful, one can take a train or bus, which are priced lower still.
