Now the math problem: How many weekends to make LtGGL?
youd have to fly 3 trips every weekend for a little over 3.5 years hahaha

and it would only cost approx 45K

Just booked for me before deadline... but my travelling companion who was booking separately got timed out waiting for me and refreshed after midnight. New re-price rice more expensive and even more so for the timed flights that I will be on.

Short end of the stick is that I have got a ticket to tallin but not Grace. I presume there is no lee-way here with BA?

If you booked with BA then you could cancel under the 24hr cooling off rule.
Another work around would have been to use a US online travel agent but that option - indeed if i would have worked at all - expired at 7am GMT.

I have just booked a great package from Expedia as a TP run for next weekend and have a question regarding arrivals from non-Schengen and use of the Premium Lounge. Has anyone who has completed this trip and/or is familiar with HEL able to tell me if it is possible/acceptable to access the Premium Lounge on arrival from LHR and then pass through passport control a couple of hours after landing, for my connecting flight to TLL? Many thanks.

Thanks, used Orbitz on m phone which still quoted the sale price in USD. This was 8 hours after so I presume just managed to catch the West Coast. Didn't work on my computer.

Thanks - yes, no issues going straight to the Premium Lounge. Got to the lounge at approx 3.45pm and the lounge was incredibly busy with barely a spare seat however 1 hour later and it is really quiet. Very enjoyable flight over on the A350 - super crew/food/drink. CX F lounge at LHR was lovely for breakfast.... it had been at least 12 months since I had been in T3 so did pop down to sample the BA F lounge. I walked straight back out and returned to CX.

Does anyone have the fare rules for this ticket? I've taken the outbound flight and curious if I can change the date of my return for free.

It won't be free.

I booked one about six months ago and had to move it to the direct LHR-TLL-LHR BA service. Cost something like £96 to change it - but only because I was targeting the cheapest change week, as the fare difference can be much greater than that.

Unfortunately, this fare does not allow routing via Helsinki anymore, because of the limitation of the flight number in Flight application.

Code:
FLIGHT APPLICATION

   IF THE FARE COMPONENT INCLUDES TRAVEL WITHIN UNITED
   KINGDOM
       THEN THAT TRAVEL MUST BE ON
       ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING

         ANY 9B FLIGHT.
   AND
   THE FARE COMPONENT MUST INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN TLL AND
   LON ON
       ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING

The comment was posted 2016-NOV-11.
It was for departure 2016-NOV-24 and return 2016-NOV-27 so it's not so strange that the link does not work anymore.
