Question

Hello, Could you answer the following two questions? Thank you.

1. In return, expect the cheapest fares in the South West: no surprises , and no small print. With Budget what you see is what you get. (The South West and Budget here refers to airlines)

Could you tell me what "no small print" means here?

2. What time is mid-morning flight? I don't know when the mid-morning flights are? Is it from 4 to 7 in the morning?

Thank you for your answer.

Many sneaky businesses would advertise and promote their products with what seemingly appeared to be great savings in large bold print, but the catch was printed in "fine prints" or "small prints". For instance, you may see large signs in shoe stores that say " 50% off" but at the bottom, you may see in prints in size 6 font, that says "with the pruchaseof second pair".

Because morning is shorter than afternoon, mid morning is a rather abstract reference which can mean anytime after 9 am and before 11 am. Of cource, you would not use this time reference if you were to meet someone at the airport. But if someone asks you: " when do you think you can have the blueprint couriered to my office? ", If you can't commit a pricise time, then you may say "around mid morning."

Two questions. Thank you.
