As we come close to the end of 2014, and my rotation as a featured blogger also draws to a close, I wanted to share with new readers some of the worst of my travel experiences in 2014. (Tomorrow I’ll share the best, so that we can all go out on a high note.) New…

Has the BA Shareholder discount stopped working early?
The 10% discount offered to holders of 200 BA Shares is going away from 1 January but you should be able to book for now. I tried a simple trip from London City to Dublin. Whilst the first page shows the correct, discounted, price as soon as you go through to book the system the…
No more BA salads…please
I took a fair number of Club Europe flights with BA last weekend, and discovered the wide range of salads that BA serve on their intra-Europe flights.

About a ten minute walk from the Security Lines, the lounge is not the largest to be fair. As it is wholly inside the terminal…
‘Do you know who I am?’ – actually overheard at the BA lounge in Geneva
‘I have a Gold Card but I’m not flying BA today. Do you know who I am?’ And so started one of the oddest exchanges I have seen in an airport lounge for a good while. Sitting quietly in the BA Terraces lounge at Geneva, I was the only passenger for about an hour before…
