I am sure there are many ways this can be done, but would not be the traditional one person does economy and one does business. Depending on how busy the business cabin is, perhaps they will both serve the meals to the CE cabin, then one does the BoB run in ET while the other serves drinks in CE

Hmm my BHD boarding pass for this afternoon is showing as Club Europe...

LBA/MAN will get a bacon roll, fruit and yoghurt at breakfast. Other domestic routes will get a full English.

Slightly OT but related to the catering changes listed on ba.com, does anyone know why they are suggesting it's still possible to order a special meal in ET for Menorca (only) until Summer 2017? I have a vested interest since I'm going in May.

Just wondering how Cityflyer is going to cope with this later in the year. They have only two cabin crew for 98 passengers. The crew have their hands full with previous (single class) service offering on domestics - is it realistic that one can do full service in club and the other crew member can single handedly handle BoB for the rest of the plane?

I would personally be more than happy if cityflyer domestic flights continued to offer the complimentary snacks/drinks

As suspected, it seems that there are now capacity problems on EDI-LHR: flights on Sat, 24 Jun and 2 Jul are now selling for £360 (with CE occupying first 12 out of 28 rows.

was always going to be a predictable problem. And FlyBe to LHR wont be a huge help in alleviating I dont think...
Peak GLA flights have been like this for ages anyway

Yet they operate A320s mostly. Maybe they can try to reallocate A321s onto busy domestic flights and put the A320s on other routes.

Is that 1 way? Or when is your return? You can get a return in the 24th, coming back on the 2nd from £149

Has the tier point calculator been updated for domestics? Seems to suggest 20 tier points per sector for R, I, J, C and D. Not the previously suggested 40? I can't seem to copy paste from iPad, but just checked on BA.com

It won't be updated until 1 April, see this post http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/28032840-post666.html

Thanks. I was a little confused as I don't recall seeing the tier point calculator for domestics including business before.

Specific flight on the 24th one-way (and similarly two flights on 2 Jul).
I also saw CE being offered for more than £800 (one way).

There wasn't. I think that was just changed yesterday but the 20TP's showing under the business section I would fully assume would be showing 40 after April 1st.

The 11:25 that day does look popular. if there are 12 rows of club then it lost 24 seats, or 4 rows.

I am sure if it is that popular the flight price would have increased significantly anyway

I am guess there is something going on that day that has made this flight and the ones either side of them popular, especially 12 rows of CE on a saturday
