Following on from a discussion on the
Athens Route thread, where I scanned & posted up a couple of pages from some VS publications I have since 96/98 timeframe. I thought it might be a nice idea to scan the entire booklet as it makes interesting reading.
Sort of a step back in time [8D]
From the March 1998 Flying Facts booklet.

Nostalga?
Flying Premium from Gatwick is JUST like the booklet...
What's changed?
(although I realise that in 'real terms' it's probably cheaper)
