I stand corrected. A shame, as it would have been an excellent redemption on that route.
So it looks as though allyjb is either going to be in coach or will have to look at changing planes more often (e.g. the LX options that allanhuk mentions).
Thanks all for your help - fantastic and much appreciated. I could be flexible on dates, perhaps flying Mon/Tues 14/15 and returning Fri 25/SUn27 if that helped the situation? Could also fly into SFO or Vegas as well, but don't want to be seen to be 'taking the mickey' of your good selves!
Thanks again. Great work.
