Thanks for the trip report. Regardless of how the trip went I always enjoy reading them.

Sorry you had the meal issues outbound. I thought F was meant to be flexible for the benefit of the customer.

Re the shenanigans inbound... if it were me I (and I know MrsSM) would have been very happy with the outcome of still travelling in F and with €600 + champers. OK, not travelling together sucks, always, but flying means these kinds of issues will crop up from time to time... it is a dynamic service... stuff happens, and nothing can be guaranteed. All I hope for is that when hiccups like this do occur then I want to come out of it up on the deal and it sounds like BA made sure of that in this occasion.

I am travelling LHR - ORD in August in F... fingers crossed that we get a similar seating issue with a similar, or better, outcome!!!

How did you manage to get the bottles of LPGS through transit security? Like you we also have a domestic connection from LHR on most of our BA holiday trips and when we've previously been offered bottles from F (only once or twice mind you!) we've declined because we assumed they'd be removed from us at security - but it sounds as though yours got through?!

I was worried about that, and was ready to surrender them. The CSD however assured me it would be OK, and had put them in a sealed duty free bag. There was also a hand written note explaining the situation, which the chap at security read. The bottles were also subject to additional screening !

Surely you can buy duty free on board in any case ?

Can I help you

You were lucky, the sealed bags should contain a receipt but the security staff accepted the note from the CSD.

Perhaps you'd never noticed, but squeezing value from the airline is what this forum is about. Mainly.
