The weather is unlikely to be the same all the way through either the UK or Europe. Pick up a cheap flight to France, Italy, Spain or somewhere warm - better chance of clear skies and a view. You'll always get cloud somewhere. Make a weekend of it.
As others have said, you'll get hosed on the price and the seat selection. Much better to do it in advance, you'll get a view somewhere.

Long walks, clunky transfer, miserable, gloomy, inter-terminal connections rubbish, beer worse than at Munich. All this could be said of Heathrow though, too.

Bah, I have a short haul flight booked for a few days after the change.
It's not a shock, but it really is a poor move. Branding yourself as a full service airline and then cutting this basic service back. Even SAS gives you free tea and coffee.
SN Brussels do BOB, but they offer you freebies if you are connecting on to a long haul flight - a much better strategy to not alienate your customers.
Unless they drastically reduce prices they will be ignored in favour of easyjet (punctual) or Ryanair (cheap), and their domestic/short haul operation will be turned into a transfer funnel into their long haul operation. But this model of just shuttling people into their short haul failed badly with Little Red. Appreciating Virgin have a smaller footprint at LHR, it's still a little odd.
