Seeing that there are all the parts of a valid contract, and this is not obviously a mistake, if it were to be challenged and beaten in court it would cost a lot more to honour, especially now they are selectively allowing people to fly them.

I'd not like to be their legal team right now.

I'll be interested to see what the voucher paperwork says, I'd not be surprised if it contained legally acceptable wording stating that acceptance is full and final settlement.
Yeah, I agree - handing out these vouchers does suggest they think they're on shaky ground. Is it possible to push this to the small claims court though? I'm not looking for an amount of money, I want specific performance of the contract. Is there any way of doing that cheaply? I think MCOL needs a "money claim"...
