What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.

Coverage was dominated by easyJet's offer to cover the £66.50 baby passport fee, alongside new route announcements from Malaga and the UK. This was tempered by reports of winter seat cuts and a few baggage and passenger incidents.
