    I went into one to book a complicated multi city flight with flexible dates as I was finding it surprisingly hard to get comparable options while searching online. I knew they would have the software to pull up possible routes much more quickly, so was happy to pay for this service.

    Being an unrepentant grammar nazi, I never buy from companies with !!!!!! txtspk names which sound like they were part of an NVQ Business Studies project. Sun4U indeed.


    "multi city" should be hyphenated.

    I've just spent a few minutes looking for the poster referred to and then realised it was me.

    I was then confused as well until iB posted the reason.

    Very good! Hyphens and compound nouns can be vague in English and can differ depending on which dictionary you use of course. It's rouge apostrophes that usually trigger the red mist.
