Thanks Dom (i think this is your name - sorry if its not).
Thanks for the info - i was having problems finding any seat. Especially for the return. It is ok, i have my flights and i am happy. Anything is better than sitting alone at Christmas wondering why this seems to happen year after year.
I will be in Fil, enjoy the sun and culture and have Christmas with a family who appear very nice - i am a happy bunny![]()
