Delivery was cancelled for today due to the ATC problems.

As cost cutting is in their DNA, are the BA team sleeping in the Club Suites to save on hotel costs?!

Ah, if only BA had waited a little longer... the new Ikea catalogue just landed, page 31 reveals its new 'Tôfēnäsa' first class suite. Comes in choice of natural woods, with matching throw-rugs for cosying up overnight flights. Flat-packed, assembly required.

G-XWBA has left TLS as BA9151 and, according to FR24, is heading for Chateauroux first.
