I'm UK (MAN) based, so I doubt there's many cheap MRs from here.
Could I do the 'trick' of booking a short/cheap flight, buy up the EQMs online, then cancel the tickets?

Or perhaps another method to get that measly amount?!
Book a fare that's as close to 227 (or slightly over) miles as a one-way Y fare. After it tickets, purchase the EQMs. Once the EQMs post, cancel the ticket.
