I have for a long time had a dream of going to Spain with my mates and 'chillin'. Some are now retired others still work. Getting them all together (because they work in the same department) so  a mass exodus wouldn't be allowed. their work commitments also means getting a date when they were available means it didn't look likely. However we had a get together (which in itself took a bit of organising ) and agreed we would 'do this thing'. To simplify everything  I said I would fit in with their commitments and once they had booked I looked for flights to get me there and back at the right time. I ended up with Flybe. Not as cheap as some but cheapish and the right dates . Now I find they may not still be operating , or maybe not operating from Southampton . No info on their website and still taking bookings . They seem to have already sold the operations to Virgin/Stobart. so I thought I may be OK as the wrangle is with the name but  just caught a bit on the news that Flybe is pulling out of Southampton. that was on the regional news but cant find anymore on it .I understand companies go on trading even when they knoiw they might cease trading because of the catch 22 scenario but it leaves punters like me in no mans land !
