I am surprised that this has not been mentioned yet.
The great low cost travel pioneer Sir Freddie Laker has passed away.
He was the pioneer and inspiration for all the LoCo airlines that followed Laker Airways after it was ruthlessly destroyed by the BA/BCal cartel.
The founders of Ryanair, EasyJet and Virgin Atlantic have all said that it was Sir Freddy who inspired them to start their airlines.
Without him, there would be no low priced flights to the USA, nor to Europe
RIP Sir Freddy, You and SkyTrain will be sadly missed
