Oddly today I noticed that BA has changed the design of its online seat charts, used both for pre-selection of seats and for online check-in. They seem to have a fresher feel. B-767 Club Europe A319 Club Europe Club World Airbus B-777 First Class

BA – How much do you want for an upgrade? £3798 from London to Dublin!
In October I am travelling from London to Dublin. I usually get offered a low cost upgrade when undertaking a booking within Europe for BA – £59-£89 are fairly typical. This booking never offered that option so today I checked to see whether BA had an offer for me yet. Well they do, and that…

Change to the service on BA1, London City to New York, JFK – flying the baby bird again
For the uninitiated, BA operates a A318 from London City Airport to New York JFK, with a refuelling stop in Shannon, twice per day. The first flight is able to clear US Immigration and Customs in Shannon, whilst the later flight does this on arrival at JFK. The advantage of the pre-clearance is that you…
