Jump to postSpill the beans leezyjet!
I had seen this before. Do any other airlines currently have 'diagonal seating' in first or business? Are there any safety restrictions on such designs?
Personally I can't see the Cambridge option taking off (excuse the pun). You can travel by car and train from Stansted to Cambridge quicker than the journey from Stansted to central London.
Hey, why not rename Stansted as Cambridge International!!!!!!!!!
Liverpool might work though

Jump to postOn a lighter note, there was a discussion on 'Radio 5 live' here in the UK on the launch of this service.
