Ever wondered why some flights to the Canaries take longer than others?

Extra fuel burnt in air fee dodge (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7124021.stm)

...and here's me thinking its the wind!!! As far as I am aware we always fly over Ireland even going to Spain

I don't really see what the problem is, other than a few more minutes in the air. If it keeps the price of a ticket down then that's the main thing. Of course people will always argue about environmental impact , but then the environmental fascists will never be happy until all flights and cars are banned, and we go around on Donkeys..
