That’s what I was thinking. What is this, a two hour flight?
About that - a few minutes more. $81 on Monarch, $104 on easyJet. Even BA starts at $127, so the whiner’s fare must have been first class. Or rent a car - it’s a 16 hour drive via Italy and France, a couple of hours more by train (although that will be $400-$600). (Google says due to road closures, you’re better off cutting across Switzerland today than taking the A4).
