    Matt normally replies to this thread pretty quickly and the fact that he hasn't is most likely due to the fact that he hasn't had a notification about it.

    There seems to be an issue for a few people incl myself re notifications not working currently and the MSE team are aware of it and working to resolve.

    Hopefully this tag will work, but if not, then perhaps message him direct as those notifications seem to be ok.

    Thanks for this - and the tips you gave me for when I am at the airport etc. I am so glad I booked direct with you (again too so I am a returning customer), significantly lower price than anywhere else.
