Purely for my own curiosity and future bookings, is there any reason why you are drawing a line in the sand against the 5% portal bookings? 5% for anything is return I generally at least look into. When coupled with CSR, we can call that return roughly 7.5%. I doubt I will book all of my travel that way. However, this appears to open up avenues of a 7.5% return that may have not previously existed. If it's the best offer, I'm taking it.
