So, I have had a few straightforward and successful EU261 claims in the past (BA and other carriers) but here is a new case which has just arisen.
I am a BA GCH. I went to check in for a flight DUB-LHR with my toddler son, but in error brought my wife's passport instead of his (now don't get me started on the de facto demise of the UK/Ireland C... Read More |

Hi all,
I'll be connecting from VS to DL in Atlanta with a five and a half hour layover next month (arriving just after 5pm) and wanted to get some tips for what to do during that time.
Assuming everything is on time, I'd anticipate having around four/four and a half hours to kill after I've cleared immigration/security and re-checked my bag.... Read More |

My wife and I have 560 tier points mainly due to a QR trip to SIN in J, however we are both still blue.
From my understanding we need to take 4 flights and accumulate another 40 tier points for silver or 2 flights for bronze.
As being able to get away with no kids is tricky I was thinking of trying to book a couple of nights away but undertak... Read More |

BA2720 LGW-AGP Sunday 14th. First time ever I've seen the Captain introduce himself from the fron of the cabin rather than just a voice coming over on the PA. Pretty cool I thought and he got a round of applause.
Anybody else has this experience before?

While wearing her back brace, she placed her purse and carryon in the wheelchair seat and used the handles like a walker to get to baggage claim causing further injury to her back. What a terrible way to... Read More |

I understand that both are capacity controlled, but with Business Everyday the chances of not getting a business class seat are much less.
A Business Saver is 80k miles and a Business Everyday is 175k! Almost double.
How can the same business class have such a huge variation? :confused:
Is there a high chance of having to sit in Economy if I o... Read More |

Hi all,
I was booked on the BA1459 from Edinburgh to Heathrow this afternoon and it was cancelled. I got an email from BA saying they had rebooked me onto the first flight to Heathrow from Glasgow tomorrow morning.
As this wasn’t ideal, I called up to try and get on one of the other flights to London this afternoon as my time was fairly flexi... Read More |

My TA booked a flight for me on BA.com three months ago and I noticed that MMB does not show a ticket number (the usual 125-). It is a trip to CMH via JFK on AA and the return is AA to ORD and then BA to LHR. I still have about two weeks before the first flight but should I give BA a call and check if it has been ticketed correctly? The status is "... Read More |

During that time we spent 4 hours on the plane on taxi and then three hours in baggage claim due to one TXL issue after another. Almost no food or drink to be had until water bottles at...

I noticed this message on my most recent flight search. Is this new and is it another attempt to create a sense of urgency to book a trip, besides listing the number of seats left for a particular fare? I was searching for a EWR-LAX itinerary, so only 12 other searches for this routing seems too low, even for just one set of dates.

But the system assigned me a bulkhead seat, which I didn’t want. (Rows 2 and 3 are also available.). Both the app and the website show seats available, but won’t respond when I try to select a new seat. The open Premium seats all show a seat selection of “$0”.
