Thx for your help. Much appreciated.
I don't see why we can't buy a same day return on the BA website.
I am across the Channel French side which means I'll have to add transport to LHR and back.
The BA call center for France is closed Saturdays and Sundays. I would have to wait until Monday morning to call them. All the cheap seats might be gone by then.
The UK call number comes with a surcharge.
Telephone: 0844 493 0787 option 2
Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge
Daily 07:30-21:45

Why no EDI? Can’t it not handle a 744?

EDI can certainly handle a 744. Maybe BA plans to send G- EUPJ up to Turnhouse on 25 August.

Is that fully booked or blocked due to some kind of magic early TS?


Surely blocked for staff and VIPs. Not lowly FT enthusiasts?! lol

There is a 2 hour limit imposed by the website, anything within that is rejected.

Try +44 191 4907901 - should be same rate as local calls from a mobile. (someone may have more up to date info on the international number to use, that's from a 2016 website)

Have you tried 0344 493 0787 or +44 191 490 7901? I don't know if they'll work - 03 numbers aren't premium within the UK, though.

Wish I could join the party!

Minor detail that I'm making an educated guess at; the IFE will likely be turned off, or at least used for safety video/moving map only, as AFAIK BA don't have the rights to the IFE content on domestics.

Someone could press the wrong IFE button on the day though…

Booked from NCL to LHR in ..... GASP (Y) !!! Couldn’t bring myself to pay £900 for 2 of us to fly in J for a 40 minute flight ;)

Auto allocated seats is a pain - will there be an opportunity for Gold members to select different seats ? I hope they have lots of crew for BOB !!!!!!

I got myself a seat on the 1500 from GLA to LHR then onwards back home to Belfast.

Expertflyer seat alerts at the ready, just incase the upper deck block is lifted. Interestingly, 4 UD seats looking booked as well as 1A presumably those folks got in before the block on seats was implemented.

Chris9642 May 31, 2019 1:18 pm

What’s the situation on the ground - are BA likely to host some kind of event in the outstation lounges at NCL / GLA / MAN or will it just be business as usual ??


squawk May 31, 2019 1:20 pm

Damn, looks like I've been too slow. Looking at LHR-NCL and return on the 747 and it's £213 economy... and the flight doesn't show up at all on Avios redemptions. Is that normal if all CE/WT has gone already, or has it not been released for Avios availability at all?

Chris9642 May 31, 2019 1:29 pm

I booked an Avios flight at 7.45pm

andrewgill May 31, 2019 1:30 pm

Yay - I've got seats on LHR NCL LHR - they were the most 'reasonably' priced ...

Looking forward to testing lounge capacity

From what I was told on my BAEC call, golds *will* get priority *when* the blocked seats are released. I can't do an Expert Flyer seat alert on a blocked seat though, so will have to keep checking...

shame, I'll be flying back from Paris.
