Kipper Nav,
Prior to 1 Apr we only got rates when we were on the ground over 3 hours during a meal time. Meal times are no longer a factor, a big win for us I think. Remember whilst in the air for 5 hours you will be receiving food at public expense (ie: In-Flight).
I am very happy with the new rules and I think due to Bzn and Lynehams proactive canvassing on our behalf should be appaluded
