I'm sure we all have stories of long flight - either through being diverted or delayed.
Yesterday's BA229 LHR-BWI was somewhat lengthier than normal: usually I reckon on c. 8 hours, but yesterday's flight was over 9 hours. It wasn't under any ETOPS restriction (that I know of) - particularly since we took a southerly route. The main issue seems to... Read More |

According to a new book, Willie Walsh is being eyed up to take over from Michael O'Leary at Ryanair.
The two had lunch, and that clearly means they discussed the topic :rolleyes:

[left]I purchased a one-way 2 segment J fare. The long segment had J available at time of purchase. The shorter segment did not, and I was ok with risking being in Y. I was surprised that once J opened up on the shorter segment I was not automatically moved up...I needed to call. Is this standard, or should I have been moved up automatically when t... Read More |

For May 2019 to JTR, I have the choice of both Exit Rows 11 and 12. If densification at LHR is still ongoing I will choose row 12 in case this becomes the forward of the 2 exit rows ie 11 will no longer be an exit (eg per the recent Titan I took). Correct choice? Read More |

[LEFT]We’ve just booked a trip to Orlando for August next year with BA, the direct flight to Orlando was a lot more expensive so we took the option to fly Heathrow to Miami landing at 3pm with AA, then a flight from Miami to Orlando at 5.30pm.
I understand we will have to clear immigration, then collect bags, clear customs and then drop our... Read More |

Hello everyone,
I have a question about BA first class. Since BA operate twice to Hong Kong each day, one using A380 the other using 777, I wish to travel on either of these. The 777 option (BA27) has a better timeslot since its departure time is also about the time when I go to bed each night. However, I guess a lot of you would prefer to trave... Read More |

i've been looking at Delta's 737 fleet and can't put together a mental picture of what's what.
i'll be flying a 738 in a few weeks and i chose a seat in row 10. i've read quite a few disparaging comments about row 10 but i put high value on being as far forward in an aircraft as possible. (yes, row 1 would be ideal but not this time.)

Been asked this, and I think I know - but not 100% sure!
Two passengers traveling to Europe on BA in business on one ticket.
Can they arrive at different times at check in and meet in the lounge - or should they be together?
This assumes that they have not checked in online and was planning on doing this at the business check in - or woul... Read More |

I just flew from HNL-NRT-MNL. It is a direct flight number and our upgrades cleared prior to arriving at check in. We had e-boarding passes in the app and just needed to drop 1 bag.
The check-in agent in HNL lost the upgrades, dropped every subsequent segment from the ticket, and attached a handwritten bag tag to our bag - which he only sent to... Read More |

I've been watching the loads on the Australia Flights with the seat map for the past several months. I've noticed that the IAH-SYD flights always have an extremely light load with roughly half of Y being unsold and often, but not always, a few J seats open even after upgrades. I know that the Down-Under peak season is just starting, but this flig... Read More |

If it's ok thought I would start a thread where we could place all news regarding BA at London Gatwick 2019 now that they have had a year to plan after acquiring the Monarch slots in late 2017.
Obviously this year has been one of keeping slots utilised, using some leased aircraft and adding some new short haul destinations. By 2019 aircraft and cr... Read More |

The reason I ask is that I'm a bit sensitive about flying A330 and AF to some extent. I missed AF447 by two days (Rio to Paris air disaster) and it freaked me out quite a bit - obviously read up a lot about it and have always been a bit apprehensive about flying in an A330 and to some extent with Air France. I guess it's mostly psychological but wo... Read More |

Hi All,
Wanted to get your opinion on this...
I have an "overlooked" booking: it was booked over a year ago (Aug 2017) and it remains half unused. The ticket confirmation says it is valid until 31 Mar 2019 and right now the ticket is confirmed for Feb 2019.
When I tried to move this flight to an earlier date, the CX agent told me that the... Read More |
