But.... I have a bit of a problem with the 'can't justify' bit (and I accept that 'justification' is very much a personal issue). When people asking for load requests on the Emirates board, with EK only offering long haul flights which will cost at least several hundred pounds and possibly much more, AND these requests seeming to have value to the prospective travellers (otherwise they would not ask for them), I find it hard to understand that one can't justify less than 8 quid (I see you are in London, hence the conversion at today's rate) once-off to get that information (presumably to see if a certain fare is available or to make guesses about op-up chances). If it was on the BA board and the request was for LHR/AMS or similar 'cheap' flights, I would have a lot more understanding. Anyway, not trying to be nasty, that's not in my nature. But I needed to get that off my chest!
