Green, Green, Green came the cry from Jake/Thad/Noah wanting yet another macaroon from the selection of food available in the small lounge at London City Airport. No one said anything as the cry got louder, not even his parents. Poor Jake/Thad/Noah, aged 3, got a discussion with his father about sharing, before being given another macaroon.
It had been a good travel day until we were bussed to the plan on hottest day of the year, took a thirty minute delay and were then told that there was no food. Another day on British Airways it seems.
Heathrow’s Terminal 1 closes for business next week and BA is moving its few remaining flights to other terminals on the 30th June. In October, several long haul destinations switch from T5 to T3. Yours?
It could be called a backpacker ticket, but perhaps glamflying would be better – well it’s in World Traveller Plus which is a little nicer than World Traveller.
It looks like there might be a bug in the BA app for iOS. Anyone else got the same problem?
BA’s little lounge at City fits the BA baby bus service to JFK, via Shannon. But a great crew and some tasty food made it a flight to remember.
When BA announced significant changes to its Avios earning programme, it promised that tickets issued by 28 April would be honoured at the old, typically more generous, rates. However, partner earning didn’t work like that when 28 April came. Now BA are stepping up and manually adding the missing Avios – if you ask for them.
BA has a scheme for Small and Medium businesses allowing them to earn points separate from their travellers who earn their normal points. The scheme has been switched to a revenue based scheme and got markedly less generous. However, there is a way to secure a 5% discount on BA fares, by giving up your OnBuiness points. Worth taking in my view. The scheme has decent availability – better than Avios from what I can see. However, you have to book upgrades at the ticket of ticketing at their web site, and it doesn’t offer the cheapest fare when upgrading.
64A a coveted seat on the Upper Deck is no longer available unless you bring along a child in a basinet. Find out why BA started kicking its best customers out of their favourite seat.
BA and Iberia have long been looking to acquire Irish flag carrier, Aer Lingus. The Irish Government appears to be ready to sell their 25% stake and have already briefed the airlines union.
