Couldn't you just be honest and ask for 4 up front?

You might run the risk of your champagne being warmer by the fourth. These little bottles have a small volume to heat exchange surface ratio.

Some very competitive prices ex-LHR in January (direct with BA, you don't see these on Matrix). How about £137.31 return in J (1.72 per TP) or £47.31 return HBO?

Mrs BAECAddict did a weekend break near Padstow this weekend just gone and I have to say I found the new service utterly convenient. Got to the First Wing at 4.45pm and straight through with barely any queuing either for checking our bikes in or for security. The food and drink service is still working very well in Galeries First and I am loving the boarding by row number. I'd be quite happy if this became standard.

Flight was pretty full both ways and flight time was 35/40 minutes in both directions. I cannot tell you how much more pleasant that is compared with four hours in the car or on the train. Hertz car hire at Newquay was super efficient... not sure why Avis is passing on the BA-related business. They do have a station there, but no sign of any life.

On the way home check in as open two hours beforehand and the covid hygiene and distancing measures were RIGOROUSLY enforced! No bad thing in my view. What I found interesting though was the enormous lay over... the incoming flight arrived at about 19:40 and the whole was turned round and ready to go by 20:50 even at quite a leisurely pace. Apparently the earliest we could leave was 10 minutes before schedule so we duly left at 21:15. I think we got the most direct routing we could plus we landed on 9L so it barely took 35 minutes. Very impressed!

Has anyone had a email saying it was previously cancelled but is due to depart at 17:15 rather than 08.50 because its weird that BA.COM still states 08.50

I was just about to post that all reward availability for the route 24 Oct - 30 Nov had vanished in the last 12 hours (annoying as I was possibly about to book my first flight since January) - sounds like it’s more than just reward inventory disappearing. Hopefully it’ll all reappear along with the cash flights soon.

And reward inventory also back (although from memory i think a little bit reduced with more dates being restricted to just 2 seats in J).

Does anyone know what is happening with LHR-NQY flights, a September departure has been cancelled, I'm currently offered the opportunity for a new date as the return is still available, am entitled to cancel the entire itinerary for as they can't provide the service I'd booked?
