If AA is honouring the fare, guess I should start watching for discount ex-USA flights to PRG... :-D. PHL-->PRG-->CUN-->PRG-->PHL with several stops along the way. This sounds like EXACTLY how I want to spend my birthday. :-D

I'm looking forward to an update from clearedforlanding - a bit over an hour until arrival in MEX...
- will he be greeted by BA staff upon arrival
- was he downgraded to Y mid-flight
- will he ever get home...

There's frequent flyers and there's ''Flyertalk frequent flyers''.

Any loss of Flyertaker custom will be more than offset by the savings made in BA's lounge F&B costs.

Looking forward to my new life in Mexico. Hopefully see you there flythe96flag!

I should really book a hotel now...
Clearedforlanding is due to land in 45 mins. I hope he is cheered in and not arrested.

He posted a +1 in the CCL this morning. Damn, if I had of sen it I would have flown to meet the nutter.

Well FWIW anybody going to PRG it has to be one of the most friendly out stations for back to back trips. Arrival at gate A3 turn left on exiting jetbridge then turn right and walk to the entrance of A3. Security is done at the gate but you don't need to pass through immigration.

I'll be spending at least a night there, maybe 2. But that's really good to know because my return to the states from the MIA/LHR hop could end up being tight. :-/

Made it!

I can confirm that I spent the entire flight in F and it was a good flight too. I did not even dare glance behind the curtain for fear of being forced into a lesser seat.

As for the return? Tune back in on Sunday (well, Monday AM for most of you). For now I need to work out what I'm doing for the next two days...!

No comments from the crew although they may have something to say when I turn up again on Sunday evening - I believe the same crew will be doing my return leg! The crew at Prague were rather amused by it.

Oh well done. I'll join you on the next one. I can travel at the drop of a hat and didn't think to check for today when I booked yesterday.

Out of sheer curiosity, I have to know what your MMB looks like at the moment. Do you have a non-Y way home at this point?
