Surely something to do with the fact that LGW and LHR are World Duty Free (BAA) while MAN is Alpha?

So is this a VS or a BAA promotion?

You would have thought they still could have woked something out though.

Probably a BAA deal, similar to the one they ran some time ago. Perhaps MAN didn't, or couldn't, meet the needs of the promo.

Seems VS have now included MAN in this - got an email from FC today at it states:

Now Online Check In is about to get even more appealing. Use it between 1 August and 30 September 2007 when you travel from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester airports to receive our exclusive money saving voucher.

As a slight O/T, if you are travelling U/C, what is the benefit of checking in online, or apart from the voucher is there any other advantage [?]

thanks

Well, there IS one *technical* advantage, but I've never heard of it being proven, as they tend not to oversell J too often.

Essentially, IF the J cabin were oversold, having checked in online you should be "safe". Still - that assumes the J cabin is oversold, something I've never experienced personally (although I'm sure there are others who have [?])

The only advantage that I can see is securing your seat selection but if there's a last minute aircraft-type change then it's no help at all
