BA award ticket on ex-bmi flights confusion
I needed to get to Dublin later in August and decided to use some Avios. Although a terribly short flight I decided to treat myself to Club, if only to see what it was like. Having selected the flights, booking, paying the fee and choosing my seats I received confirmation by email of my ticket…
BA member wanting to transfer BMI miles on 3 July – not if you have a Household Account it seems
A Flyertalk member of a Household Account has received an email which appears to indicate that BA are not going to allow transfer of BMI Diamond Club points to BA household accounts. I am greatly disappointed by this as I had hope to move my 200,000 bmi miles to BA on 3 July, when transfers start. However,…
Cashback on BA flights from the UK, via Quidco.com
I have written about Quidco before but they have just started offering a rebate – a rather small one to be fair – on all BA flights. It had been restricted to Club Europe flights in the past. Typically it won’t come off the taxes or fuel surcharges, but every penny helps. Remember Quidco charges…
Flying from Berlin on BA? Don’t panic!
The BA online Arrivals and Departures web page gave me a fright this morning. Checking on my flight before leaving for the airport I pulled up this: As you might imagine PANIC ensued! However, looking more carefully at the almost unreadable line – who chose blue ink against a red background? – you see that…

BA CityFlyer – London City to/from Edinburgh
I went from the Hilton Dockside to City Airport. On public transport this is fairly easy. Bus to Canada Water, Jubilee Line to Canning Town and then the DLR to City Airport. The DLR (Dockland Light Railway) trips right in to the City Airport. City Airport is the smallest London airport, and is based in…
