Re: It used to be...
I rather like some BA routes. We book the weekend BA flights out of Scottish airports semi regularly (as in the same 5 weekends a year). Granted they are chartered but use the london city 190 planes and are quite cheap (we usually pay about 100 return with luggage). A nice way to hop to the balearics for some sun.
since they are 190s the checkin in easy (only 90 passengers top), baggage is quicker and the seats are larger.
