British Airways has dramatically increased the price of flights from Manchester to London over the Easter school holidays.
On a range of routes, the price-per-mile is even higher than the top fare on Concorde, according to the Independent. The lowest price the ECHO could find for a short haul return flight to London this week was an eye-watering £664.
The journey, each way, takes little over an hour to complete. For comparison, a train from Piccadilly to London Euston can be booked for as little as £30, the Manchester Evening News reports.
