Pondgirl as you say its horses for courses and I too have flown from Luton to Reus, the flight times are really good and Luton airport is lovely, for us its just suffering the M25 clockwise it a complete pain.  
Thank you for the info re Castelleon airport, it would be good if they ever get it completed the more competition hopefully means better air services especially for those running B & B's and holiday lets.
