My thoughts - invade America! They have to expand quickly or they'll never

get the value the shareholders crave. I think it's been said before but

lastminute where trigger happy on their IPO. As we say at Scient - go big or

go home."


This has always intrigued me about lastminute - why no American play? if

you're going to spend salary costs on ripping open bits of europe, then why

not hit the states, where the market's established, and the language/culture

problems are far easier to overcome. . .just think of the 2-300% healthier

size of their revenue if they'd cracked it


now i wonder whether it could have anything to do with the size of the writ

they could see arriving on their desks from the likes of

lastminutetravel.com??? or perhaps someone else has already wrapped up

distressed inventory, and they've decided it isn't worth the effort?
