I wonder if you can choose what price to pay for MIA or BOS ii)

Obviously, well I assume, the second set will be effective when the first set finishes. But why put both up at once? At least put a starting date for the second sale.

Don't you just love IT ): ):

I honestly have to wonder what they're doing!

Are we unnecessarily blaming VS IT? Surely a senior manager signs off/approves the content and the web team simply upload?

Either way, it's a sham!!!!

Manchester to Washington? Via?

I was thinking that the other day too, looked it up out of curiosity, via LHR, also all prices were double what the sale says.

i) Perhaps Manchester to Washington is the next new route but its just not announced yet!!! :0 :0 :0 (yeah right!)

Doubt it is IT... Probably marketing providing the drivel....

Husband runs a web company and the content some of his clients provide for input into their sites.... ii)

I've heard it said by VS people that the marketing team act, and then think.

Either that or its run by muppets.

Or both.

Happens in pretty much any big company!

I'd put my money on Kermit doing a better job.

There is no place for kermitism in society these days. It is also derogatory to muppets the world over to be associated with "marketing". Consider yourself the receiver of a frosty stare.

No kidding, it took me a couple of months to break our marketing dept of thinking they can rewrite ads.

Probably the same department that cannot spell "restaurant" in Virgin holidays website. See under hotel facilities: http://book.virginholidays.co.uk/search/results/details/item8681/
