It's like MaxJet/EOS/SilverJet all over again. US city direct to not-so-convenient, kinda-but-not-quite London (Stansted is not London; it's like calling Islip,NY New York, NY.
What could possibly go wrong?

Add to the fact that it is not non-stop. At first I thought they might be leasing a new equipment type for this but according to the website they stop in Gander, Canada for gas on the way over and on the way back! I'll be interested to see how this works out. The ticket I priced out was $936 with taxes (DAL from MSP-LHR was $1237).

Right as everyone's getting tired enough to nod off after dinner for the crossing, seats up, electronic devices off, we're landing. Then after the second leg, arrive at Stanstead [sic] instead of LHR or LGW. I don't know, I think I might just pay the $1237 instead.

Having lived half my life in London you have to offer a pretty heavy discount to get people to Stansted.... which is exactly why its a Ryanair base.
Who in there right mind would pay $1000 to fly to stansted in a 737.....
At least Maxjet offered a premium cabin in a 767 for relatively the same price.... we saw how that worked out.....
This just seems extremely dumb to me but what do I know
