Had a discussion with someone over the whole Air Atlanta thing - they will
be operating under Excel's guidelines on the Sharm route so you can assume
the same allowances (although it would be wise to check...). I haven't got

Great site, very useful info, but you might want to check the
line-wrapping. The 'Monarch' entry comes up as one very long line
(Firefox, HTML4/CSS2 compliant)
