  I always remember when Qatar used to use BMW 7 series for first class and especially memorable was when they dropped one guy onto the wrong plane. Luckily he was in my seat otherwise he would have ended up in A different country

  Is the new Emirates seat reveal for a new business class seat or their new F seat that they promised they were working on, right after EY came out with the First Apartment? With SQ due to have new F seats next year on their A380 as well, things are looking good.

  The separate bus thing I think accentuates the class divide in some countries and is meant to separate business class from the hoi polloi. This doesn’t bother at all, but I do get annoyed if I have to queue if I have effectively paid extra for the privilege of not queuing.
  Prime example was in Colombo we waited ages at the gate (with no toilet) to board and when the bus came I was refused entry as there was a separate bus for business class.
  It was a short overnight flight so all I wanted to do was get on the plane,go to the loo and go to sleep as quickly as possible. Instead we were made to wait until all the economy passengers had finished boarding. I was pretty livid. Apart from that one incident, thumbs up for Sri Lankan airways, good service and good food.

  By my own experience, you did well to get the bus! Whenever I’ve been bussed from the airport to the plane at Doha in business, they’ve held all the business passengers back awaiting the bus (not letting us onto the economy bus even if we wanted to), then right at the end of boarding just put us on the last economy bus anyway!

    Exactly, why can’t you just get on the first economy bus???

  On the subject of Qatar any sign of a business sale / cheap Asia rates? They seem to be moving further apart.

  Be careful with the Love Theatre Avios promotion. I’ve just bought some tickets and although I’ll get a nice sum of Avios I wish I hadn’t. Love Theatre added a wapping £16 per ticket booking fee, and I found out afterwards that the show I booked for doesn’t add any booking fee when booked direct! I also found that there were better seats available booking direct.

    Thanks, I’ve just double checked for a booking I was making and fortunately it was the same price but better availability at Love Theatre. Always good to be sure it is actually a good deal with these things.

  Tickety-boo with the Lovetheatre, even shows a summary of the Avios you will receive at checkout. Lovetheatre doesn’t cover all the theatres we go to, but is great for the big ones.

  Wow, Love Theatre are fast….the points from my purchase yesterday afternoon have posted already!
  (Only standard points though, I guess the bonus will follow in a sweep later.)
