Yer he's good at that[:(!], but it can be done;)

Hopefully VS will follow suit, don't think the MPM fares are that special at the moment.

I certainly don't rate some of the MPM fares that VS are offering at the moment. I cannot remember the exact dates I was putting in last week, but for MAN-MCO-MAN sometime in March 2007 (flying out & in on weekends, the MPM UC fare came up about £30 cheaper than a Z fare.
