Interesting. I guess it's cheaper for them to not process the payment.

If I can book a day return somewhere from LGW I may give it a go, but I've not found any days where both segments are showing as 1p.

Now in LGW how difficult is it to escape from airside if I decide not to take the flight (e.g. if it's delayed and I'm worried about missing my return leg), is there an easy way to leave the airport or would I need to be escorted landside? Would it be BAA or Ryanair staff who do this and would Ryanair try to charge for the privilege?
