This, a mistake made in the predictably half-assed reporting from the Indy/Beeb.
I presume the decision to cancel must have been due to volume of sales - both in terms of close-in cheap fares v keeping stock for higher priced tickets, and in terms of the Avios/TP cost for those fares booked further out since the actual price + £100 voucher isn't all that different from the cheapest fares.
