I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The same pax 'scam' applied to the channel crossings too. Get two cheap day-returns. Use one out and later use the other back. Easy to say you missed the first return ferry. Difficult to argue that you had 'missed' the second outbound, ie first sector.

Agree about the charging scandal tho.

Looked for a friend to travel Canada, London, Humberside, Schipol, Canada.

Humberside return £748. Heathrow return £666. Air Canada to LHR £1700! Didn't even look at the Humberside-Schipol link. Only issue might be trying to get a layover in Schipol on return.
