Travellin' Man

Gorse Fox has just booked tickets for a Spring trip to the Canaries.

It was interesting how widely varied the prices and conditions were, and how important it was to read the weasel words small print. This time he noticed that his preferred carrier (who he's used for the past few years) was £110 more expensive than his chosen airline, and included the warning : "Prices below exclude a per passenger fuel and APD supplement on short haul routes of £35.00 and £105.00 on all long haul routes". So with those prices (let's call them Gordon Brown's profligate government supplement) not yet included they would have ended up £180 more expensive.
