Is this the normal Xmas effect.
FWIW, they don't seem to be listing, advanced fares, only,"off-peak fares."
Will "advanced" (cheaper fares) be loaded later or should I take what I can get now?
The best I've come up with is 40 pounds o/w.
Wait for the advance fares to be loaded - they will be lower than the off-peak fares. Keep checking back regularly to get the best fare possible as the cheapest tickets will go quickly at that time of year.
