Good for us?

By and large, the Basel Airport is a ghost town. It didn't used to be that way, but when Swissair went out of business a few years ago (reconstituted as Swiss), evidently flights from Basel were cut way back. They have a brand-new, large business lounge that is one of the nicest I've seen, yet there have been times I've been the only person there. It's almost creepy how deserted the airport can be. So it's probably good news for Basel--and us, if we want to take any discount flights--that easyJet is relocating from Zurich to Basel.
