I knew this was coming. Some individuals on here are somewhat predictable in their behaviour.
Now if the long haul had gone to a nearby airfield that some believe to be the centre of the universe, some folks on here would be all 'jazz hands' at this point.

Well done to MAG and STN and Thomas Cook for offering more diverse choice for those in the south east.
