Aha! This thread explains why a number of people (presumable the good folk of this parish) got off in front of me and veered straight left back to the gate.

On that, if I buy Wifi for the whole flight do you think it will work on the way back? Is it just for that flight and reset or is it for that day. If you get my drift.
FYI, the flight over (and back) today didn't have WiFi, hopefully you have a job where being offline for a few hours won't be a problem.

I've added myself to the Wiki for 23rd & 30th Nov. The former seems like a popular one.

Hopefully no repeat of Sunday as I really need to get home on 23rd!

No wonder I couldn't get front row on 23 Nov even though I booked months ago!!. Not B2B, onwards to DOH and SIN. I'm back in row 5!! First time I've ever not been in row 1 on this route! I once sat next to Leslie Grantham on the way out, think he used to live in Bulgaria.

My favourite place is the Socialist Art Museum. Vitosha and Boyana area are worth visiting but i normally travel with a bike and stay at Hotel Jasmin. Free airport pick up and drop off. Getting into the countryside if you can is highly recommended. It is so poor, think carts with wooden wheels but beautiful.

My SOF-LHR on 23 Dec was cancelled so ended up rebooking onto LH so that doesn't help with TP's! I assume it might be possible to claim the TP's i'd have got had BA not cancelled the flight? It leaves my wife 10 points shy of a Gold Card which was why she was doing SIN-DOH-SOF-LHR in the first place.

Call back, get them to put her on DOH-LHR straight, and problem solved.

I've actually just shifted to 4F so 5A is available if you want it!

Is it a straight forward process i.e. with no immigration to clear?
Will be doing it this Sat for the first time.

You may be able to claim 'original routing credit'.
