It's really great to receive it. But why on earth have they made it payable to my 12 year old daughter, who was not on the trip, and has not been mentioned in the claim? She is on my household account, but that's all.

What a farce. I will be booking a business class fare from Manchester to Wellington tomorrow. I have asked my PA to cease the booking with BA; I will now travel Emirates on a Qantas flight code. I have had enough of this nonsense.
