MFU Example

A very small request/suggestion - In the MFU section of "Spending Miles", an MFU example using the actual miles required might make it easier to understand for those new to the whole concept.

Possibly one of the most comprehensive FAQ threads I've ever come across - excellent work.

Re the reference to the cloth seats in the rear cabin of the 767 shorthaul - weren't these upgraded to leather "Space Saver Seats" at the same time as they did the 757s?

When will we see the awesome seat maps for the 17 F 777 and the LGW 3 Class that are still referred to as "coming soon"?

Fantastic piece of work as usual. Well done all?

((Can I have a credit for the photos of the convertible seats? ))

It might be worth adding that if using a 2-4-1/miles you can combine classes - i.e. F out J back or vice versa is 2.5x economy but that this needs to be done over the phone.

Perhaps some links to more up date photos of the Next Generation Club World seat as a comparison to the older Club World seat;

This is probably obvious to 99.99% of you guys, however even after checking the acronyms on the ultimate guide thread, I still have no idea what ‘OT’ stands for. It appears in many threads daily and I’ve given up all hope to even try and guess.

OT! What does it mean?????

(you have no idea how long I've been waiting to ask that question)

Ha. If there is one thing you need to know on this board it is the meaning of OT as there are so many of them.

Off Topic - meaning that the thread or post is not strictly about BA and/or BAEC

A link to FSB?

Add the missing members of oneworld to the list in the acronym section

Add a bit in the tesco thread that you can go to Tesco dot com and then book flight tickets there for tesco cc points and earn even if you are not flying BA, or for those of us without BA Amex (or in my case somewhat overfull) still earn miles after conversion.

Terminal five major guide as part of it?

Are there any links to BA fares that are public?

Next month will see Spottie's guide to EU compensation claims...

I will have another look later when I have a larger screen so I can read it better.

Great stuff.

In the Fleet overview section the following doesn't make sense to me!
"Note that from 2008 when BA moved to Terminal 5 at LHR, the 757s are not used to service the T1 (in future T3) routes – BCN, HEL, LIS, MAD, NCE"

not = now. Probably better worded as:

"Note that from March 2008 when BA moved to Terminal 5 at LHR, the 757s began to be used solely on the shorthaul routes still operating out of T1 (eventually moving to T3) – BCN, HEL, LIS, MAD, NCE" or something.
