I always thought that a real draw back from living in Oxford is the inability to just jet off to far flung places at a moments notice. Or at least without having to trek all the way to Luton or Heathrow.

That could all change, apparently. Oxford Airport has recently been flying people to Jersey, and now we may soon be able to fly not only to UK cities but also to destinations like Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels and Geneva.

It’s been reported in the Oxford Mail;

“Bosses at the Kidlington-based airport have been in discussion with several operators about starting daily business flights to European capitals, as well as offering further weekly charter flights for tourists”

That means, in the time it normally takes to drive to Luton, park, check in, shuffle through security, you could be sitting with your feet up in some European city. And the whole dilemma about whether you may get snarled up in the M25 traffic would be a distant memory.

Excellent idea I say. Fingers crossed all the ideas take off… ha ha
