Well Skipness given the current climate I would suggest you dust off the old CV. I work for a major multinational and have been told IF I have to travel to keep costs as low as possible including using budget airlines.
We had a directive a while back telling us to use LH instead of BA for international travel because we can get better deals via Munich rather than Heathrow, not tried it (yet) but I guess there goes my BA Exec card!!!
