The company has projected that flights would be in the range of what is currently paid by those travelling the same journeys, and it would not be a luxury service.

Between Belfast and Liverpool, the company estimates the journey would take five hours and 20 minutes,

 ;D ;D

So, pay the same as a 45 minute flight from Belfast to Liverpool but it takes 5hrs 20 mins.

I'll stick to Easyjet, thank you.

I thought it might be fun for novelty value, but not 5+ hrs, and being overtaken by gulls. :D
