the saving by going from BA to Ryanair/easyjet/thompson is going to be at most £30 on a shorthule.
Devide that by the amount of hours, say, 3 hours. Then work out if it's worth spending £10/hour to be comfortable for that amount of time, esspeically if you include that all drinks and snacks are free on BA, which would come to at least £10 on the crap airlines. Plus if there is a fuck up, and fuck ups do happen, it'll cost you more than the flight to fix on the other airlines.

Then work out you're spending around £100/day or whatever it is, then is it really worth skimping on £30 to have a bad start to the trip.

£30?
I don't think so. Take an average flight to Ireland. If I book in advance and only take hand luggage then on Ryanair it will cost me about £20. If I book same time at Aer Lingus it will cost me at least £80 if not more. That's a sizable difference.

Flying to Rome there is an even bigger difference

I only really know to cyprus, where that is approxmatly the differance, which I thought percentage wise it would be the same.
Maybe it's difference for what they class as holiday destinations and residential ones, or the airport itself, for example, heathrow is more expensive than gatwick or luton.
