What a pain, hope you all get home safely and quickly.

the rules for ffp3 on BA are priority check in and boarding for everyone, one guest only for fast track and no lounge access for anyone.

Never any harm to ask, but it’s be a pretty big ask to get four into the lounge when none are entitled and you’re EI’s elite and not BA’s.

could they not fly you out of Dublin direct to MAN instead of the jiggery pokery via LHR on BA? There are at least four seats on some of the flights tomorrow including the 7pm. You could have a day in Belfast then hop in a taxi at 3pm to Dublin airport. Rather ask them to reimburse a £200 taxi to Dublin airport from Belfast than wait around or fly indirect. Even if they won’t reimburse, I’d prefer to do that than sit in an airport most of the day!

whatever you do, wishing you a good last extra day on your holiday
