Thanks for the insight. I know I could have got a single ticket, but the 'under statement' of your reply was "Though it is often a more expensive than separate ones" ..... How about close to 500 quid more ! :O

Overall, this isn't that big a ball ache, I've swapped $150 for not having to do LGW-LHR with National Express

I was just surprised that as the change was a direct result of VA, I had thought they would be more receptive to a no cost switch. But, I don't have status with VA, and so TKIAN (They Know I Am Nobody)
