As are they from MAN – our March date (well before the start of the Easter holidays) is over £3k pp return in UC, so a saver points booking is incredible value. After subtracting the surcharges and cc annual fee, it comes out about 9p per point 😮
On the same date, UC from LHR was 260k points 😱
For future reference, you could drive to MAN in just over 3 hours the night before and have a very comfortable night at the new HI, which is a short (mostly covered) stroll from T2 from where VS departs.
