Argh! My modified itinerary will be flown in crappy KE A330 Biz Seats. If I'm going to fly in lousy biz seats, I'd at least like to be in a Soviet rustbucket. :rolleyes:

Don't modify it then. Fly the Soviet rustbucket!

These are the BD gold upgrade vouchers that can only be used on bmi flights.

A quick search in CC shows that they are pretty much worthless.

This is a BD GUV only valid on BMI and you have to be BD gold so you can't just give it to someone to upgrade themselves unless you are with them .

SU has cancelled BKK-SVO. I can't, even if I wanted to.

I agree. At 6'0", 11.5 shoe size, I just fit - lengthwise with shoes on and that is laying flat without much room to move around. With shoes off I am guessing I would have a little more flexibility to push feet in the V part. The tappered design of the foot rest - limits movement when the seat is layflat. My head just about touch the seat back and my feet seemed to just fit. I do not see how anyone at 6'6" could fit with feet straight out.

Missed the BD context. D'oh.

Heading to the Big Apple on Monday the 16th to meet with Lufthansa. Expecting some great news the same night ^^

So will this top the CO IV DO?? Will be hard, but from what I have heard from LH, I think we can. :)

Is LH giving you the catering freedom that you were expecting from SK?
