I've never been a big user of 'duty-free' airport shops ; but with such savings versus BoB prices, I think I might soon become one .....!

Is the £4.99 selection also 20cl bottles? If they match the big sign that is even cheaper although not necessarily great brands?

No, the top banner isn't fully aligned with the contents below. Essentially it's £5 for the 50ml meaures and £10 for the 20cl flasks. The photos are a subset of a wider banner, it's not so mismatched on the ground.

So basically everyone will now try to steal drinks from the lounge to bring on board? - Can't wait until they introduce bag checks before leaving the lounge

Are we going to get a CWS walk-through guide for where to pick up the various components of your G&T airside? Anywhere selling ice and lemon?

Thanks!! ^

According to what I've seen on here no doubt some will. Then again, they've openly admitted to doing it well before BOB arrived anyway.

So bOB (bring On Board) is a new one to me, thought that was illegal under uk law....

Seems as if £5 for a miniature is a tad overpriced, what will security do if I fill up a 100ml bottle with Vodka and bring through in clear plastic bag?

What about a previous opened Smirnoff 50ml one, refilled with something like Morrinov (used to be the name for Morissons vodka)? So its clear the seal has been cracked? I know most security don't look at the bags, but will they have reason to go "eh?" or on a random pull?

Personally never really used BA shorthaul Y except for a couple of weeks ago, seems as I won't be in the future either, to me this was always about the booze, the loss of the shockingly tiny bag of nuts handed out wasn't anything to be mourned....

Sales of 100ml hip flasks going up?

1. Can you use contactless?
2. What happens if you have a chip-less credit card?

corporate-wage-slave

I know 2 is OK, since there is a PIN system generally. I don't think I've seen a confirmation about contactless yet, so I'll add that above to post 1.

MarkFlies

Contactless is available according to a crew member today. I didn't see it tested though.

In fact, it should be preferred as PIN-entering and handing over of terminals is fairly time-consuming.

corporate-wage-slave

Thanks for that, it crossed over a post I directed towards ThatT1Feeling, but putting his reply and yours together I think we're safe to say contactless is there and preferred.

I wouldn't have thought security would know or care whether it was water, Chanel No 5, or vodka, as long as the bottle is less than 100mls and in the appropriate clear bag...

On BA (unlike I think all other UK airlines) you can consume your own alcohol on board but we can remove it from you if you are becoming intoxicated and it will be returned to you after landing.

The ipads can do contactless but it isn't working at the moment (surprise surprise&#128513. We can swipe, do chip and pin, and if that doesn't work, type the details in.
