Attempts to get commuter flights from Oxford to Cambridge off the ground early this year did not materialise, but Oxford still has the potential to offer passenger flights to popular UK domestic destinations such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin in Ireland. The existing terminal is hampered by extremely limited capacity for passenger carrying aircraft, but Oxford's runway is regularly used for Boeing 737 training flights. If local planning obstacles could be overcome, a modest new terminal at the airport could also bring in the possibility of flights to major European destinations like Amsterdam and Paris. The runway appears unlikely to be able to deal with a fully laden Boeing 737 size aircraft, but could still handle a wide range of turboprops and regional jets.

So I'm afraid you are stuck - Heathrow is far too cumbersome for a short domestic hop and Luton is just an horrible mess! I'd like to see flights to Glasgow / Edinburgh from Oxford too, but it is going to be a challenge finding an airline that could do so profitably - especially after the Varsity Express debacle. The natural question is whether or not Oxford is big enough for Flybe, as they should be a natural fit, considering how they have set up bases in many other cities of similar size, without the global appeal that Oxford has. If they put on the sort of routes you are looking for, they could offer fares low enough to appeal to the student market - but it would still be quite challenge with the Q400s. Maybe Eastern could set the ball rolling, but their fares would be aimed very much at the commuter.
In the meantime, the best tip I could offer is that Birmingham Airport is only a short train ride away, and that you do at least keep heading in the right direction!
