Suggesting that in addition to EU + Switzerland + pending member Croatia, SIN is okay.
Croatia is a member state of the EU since 1 July 2013.

A bit late looking in on this thread, and I'm only an ordinary Gold, but after sleeping for the first 11 hours of last Friday night's 245 (literally went flat a few minutes after wheels up and didn't move most of the flight), I had great attention from the CSD once I finally did wake up in the morning.

Giving my sleeping performance, perhaps she thought I must somehow have been much more important than an ordinary Gold. Or perhaps simply relieved that I was alive.

?? Many of the mods have posted in this thread, so ordering them to move it seems a little bit OTT. Besides this is BAEC forum where we like amiable conversation about the other idiots on the planes who think they are more special than us!

Most of this thread has been discussing DYKWIA behaviour on BA flights. I see no reason for your order to move it.

Unless you have an FT Prem Card, of course? In which case you are obviously able to overrule me.

The thread may not be wholly BA however it is very much British.

I love the delicious irony that this member's only ever post (as far as I can see) on the BA board has been this post ordering the mods to move it.

That's a very DYKWIA instruction, so very appropriate for this Thread ... but don't they say "Please" in BOS these days?

And ... what others have said

Is the humour going over everyone's head?

Probably..!

One of the simplest trolling comments I've seen on this board, hook line and sinker!

Maybe humour is region specific.

Or maybe some people read the DYKWIA actions and can't see why they are DYKWIA because they seem to be perfectly acceptable or indeed admirable behaviour for some!

Nor is this 3800+ post thread specific to Delta, yet it resides there:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...a-stories.html

IMO each forum has its own flair and can handle a series of threads that are more general in nature without being relocated. Of course, rather than posting you can use the little red "alert a moderator" button, or even contact the community director: SanDiego1K (Carol) if you don't agree with moderator (in)action. As its also highly inappropriate for me to be posting this here, and you probably don't know who I am, I'll stop now.
