The reason why heathrow doesn't do short flights is because there is 4 other airports in london, meaning if you wanted short haul you can fly from somewhere else, and heathrow, being the largest, can keep its capacity by linking cross atlantic.
@MrPipol-nm3cd 2 роки тому
that makes no sense, since those 4 airports also do transatlantic flights. The fact is that, because Heathrow´s main focus is profit, the have optimized their sales capacity to just one airport. Public airports main goal is to transport and connect people. So, if all airports where private, there would be fewer, with some cities with no airport at all.

@@StonkSlayd did you not understand the fact that the places that only have public airport, are because it is not profitable for the private sector? They have few passengers by year.

Keep in mind restaurants and other retail businesses are getting high volume at the airports. They aren't necessarily expensive to the consumer. My coffee was about $3 at the last airport I was at and when I was at a bus/train terminal a sandwich, chips and drink was about $4. Both were obviously government owned. It's kinda funny how competition can work decently when gov subsidizes the venue, there's lots of shops and there's roughly unlimited resources. Fuck private airports.
@danielmitchell940 5 років тому

@stuffystuffclub 5 років тому
When you’re discussing disadvantages of Heathrow running domestic flights, don’t forget that due to the size of the country, it is almost always faster to drive or use buses or trains than it is to fly within the U.K., and from most English cities the cost of a train ticket to London is comparable or less than the cost of a plane ticket.

@suprememax4948 5 років тому
The reason why European airports tend to be more often privately run than in the United States (usually it is the other way around when it comes to privatisation), is that airports in Europe are not as much of a critical infrastructure as they are in the US. Due to the train systems in the EU which are often operated by publicly run companies, there already is a affordable way to travel to almost any destination. So flying here is not really a necessity but more of a luxury thing and therefore not as much in public interest. In the US on the other hand, due to the non-existence of proper train connections and the huge area, plane travel often is the only means of public transport over longer distance and therefore much more objected to public interest and government ownership.

Flight from Southampton to Edinburgh is between £70-£120. It's direct and takes 2 hours. A train doing the same route is more than £300, has several changes in London and takes 7 hours. That's said Heathrow needs a third runway of its to compete with other European airports like Amsterdam, Madrid and CDG. All of those have 4 or more runways that can be used simultaneously, Heathrow has 2 that can't be used simultaneously. UK dies without Heathrow.

Love this video! Quick note on internal UK flights, there’s no way the majority want more internal flights I think. E.g Flying to leeds via heathrow would take 4 hours door to door for me living in london vs 2.5 hours by car or 2.5 hours by train and about 2x cheaper (just $30-45 for either). But even longer travels, e.g flew to Scotland last year then got the train back. Train was faster, more comfy and cheaper. The UK is so small & train network so connected (even though we complain about it) that internal flights really have almost no demand vs international.

I'm interested by the point you made about the retail stores giving a "cut" to the airport they're located in. While this may definitely be the case, its more likely that the bulk of any money the airport gains from these stores is actually via the store paying rent.

The thing is, the fact of the matter is that people don't need to fly around in the UK. It isn't a huge issue to have the main airport of the country to be poorly connected. The UK is small. It isn't like the US. It's easy to get a train or car to other places in the UK quickly. Likely quicker than getting a plane.

Lmao it's not £200 return its £100-£110 return, you probably read £100 and thought that was one way. I can fly from Belfast to London for £80 return, there would be something wrong if you were paying £200 return for bleeding Norwich to Manchester, are you the fucking only person on the plane fam?

It's a very European thing it seems. American airports generally don't do that but due to the immense space they take up by them get you to buy things with their long walk to the gate.

Duty free at an airport may well be free of duty, but it is certainly not free of profit,. It can be, and often is, a false economy.

Fly through or into Las Vegas. I haven't flown through their international departures area, but getting to most all gates you will pass slot machines. Most gates, waiting areas, smoking rooms, and even baggage claim have slot machines. Ironically, if you do play and forget to redeem your gaming voucher the airport and state of Nevada laugh to the bank. 60% very unclaimed slot voucher in Las Vegas goes to the state, 40% for the operator.
@dannybau 5 років тому
That_llama_in_a_tuxedo In America, it doesn't make sense to have a duty-free store unless it is in an international departures area/terminal. I assume duty-free is popular since many fly within the Eurozone. They would have a higher amount of passengers flying internationally. Even if an airport is considered international in the US, it might not make financial sense to have duty-free since the ratio of domestic flyers to international travelers is much lower or even non-existent. Biggest trend in the US right now is getting the city's best restaurants and their local sport teams to open a location in the terminals.

I have no problem with most of the overcharging in airports, you can make your own choice if you want to buy or not, however, there is one type of product where you have no choice, drinks, hence I think all beverages should by law be mandated to be the average regular price of retailers in the local area as a maximum. Since we can't bring our own beverages through security, it's an effective subsidy of stores behind security.
@littlejimmyparker 5 років тому
I think the fact Amsterdam has more UK airport destinations than Heathrow is because no one will travel by plan in the UK when its faster by train. No one will fly from Heathrow to Bristol, Birmingham or Norwich as trains are faster, and less of a pain (no security, check - in and all of that) so trains are easier. But you can not get a train direct from Amsterdam.
@Ibirdball 5 років тому
In theory, but remember the extortionate train fares in the UK...
@littlejimmyparker 5 років тому
Not when you know what you're doing. If you book in advance (like you do with planes) you can get to the locations said for under £10. The Anytime and Off-peak tickets are high in prices but I'm sure if you can buy plane tickets with the same amount of flexibility they hold then they would cost more than the train.
@Ibirdball 5 років тому
Unless you want to pay £100s, you have to book about 3 months in advance, which is very inconvenient for quite a lot of people. You can't just hop on the train and go round the country, that's why we have a burgeoning and overstretched road system. Privatisation may work for Heathrow but not UK railways.
@littlejimmyparker 5 років тому
I don't know where you're getting these figures from. 11 days ago I had to travel from London to Birmingham during the morning peak (0723 was the train I got) and the night before I bought a first class single for little over £30. I'm looking on my app and for tomorrow Mid-day and the cost for any of those destinations is £28 (still all advance fare bucket). But if you did just turn up at the station demanding an anytime ticket it would cost £105 for the most expensive destination. And we can just hop on the train and go round the country. I do it all the time without touching a car (or any road transport thinking about it). (I don't think I talked about privatisation but) it probably would work. The conservatives privatised it back in the time of the iron lady but now the conservatives want to take over GTR.

And there is not really much point in making flights to all UK airports from Heathrow when many other airports in the UK are really close. Apart from flights to Scotland or NI it's probably easier to take a train/car.

But it is sometimes cheaper to fly via some other country then go by train. And sometimes cheaper then driving.
@skyjetisdabest 5 років тому
That's true but because it would take a lot longer due to going through security and waiting for your planes, and you can only bring a limited amount of luggage; it would be a lot less hassle to get a train or drive, even if it was more expensive.
@bristoled93 5 років тому
You will be doing that at Heathrow anyway so might as well use a local airport like Bristol airport and fly to a hub like Dublin or Amsterdam.
@richardemms3050 5 років тому
Gatwick doesn't have all that many domestic flights. It has quite a lot of long haul and European flights. Might be a better airport to connect to from a domestic to long haul though. Typically in the UK, as it isn't that big, people will drive a long way to get to a major airport for a long haul flight while using their local airport for short haul. There are also a few long haul options spread out over the country, like Newcastle, Glasgow or Manchester. Often you can fly from one of those to Dubai or New York and connect from there. Added to that many domestic flights are by low cost carriers who don't do connecting flights, so you would have to reclaim baggage and check in again and have no protection from delays.

People in the UK do not necessarily want domestic flights throughout the country, remembering that the country itself is so small. This means that it is much faster to travel via car, coach or train rather than air.
