general flight costs are always gonna be dependent on how busy the airport is. flights in and out of Bumfuck are always gonna cost more than flights in/out of Metropolis simply because they can guarantee selling tickets to Metropolis, but Bumfuck gets a lot of half empty planes

flights in and out of London are cheap. Theres five airports there for chrissakes.

flights from other cities in the uk are cheap (but less so) if there are direct routes because they still have a decent amount of traffic. but you know where non-direct flights (to european destinations i mean) have you change over most of the time? london

and other-uk-city to london is an expensive flight because like. they're simply not popular enough routes. we're small. we have other means of transport that don't require sitting in an airport

so if there's no direct flight it's normally significantly cheaper to just get yourself to london via other means and fly from there

it can even be cheaper to take yourself via london going between other countries! i once needed to get from krakow to brussels. there was only like 1 flight every 2 days (at the time) and it cost almost £300 and took 36h.

so i flew to london (£20) made my way from the airport to kings cross (£4) and got a eurostar to brussels (£40). which was also about 30h quicker
