I didn't try because I'm never confident of airline schedules, or 
other opportunities, etc. I figured the difference in price was 
minimal ($12 vs $15 for a single) and that I'd be billing it to 
Oxford rather than the TEI-C.

However, I've just watched The Millionaire Tour:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1937388/ so I'm unlikely to be 
jumping in any strange taxis touting for business. ;-)
