  AA have a bewildering variety of Business Class seating, from great to undesirable.
  How reliable is the link between waht SeatGuru predicts and what one files?
  Presumably if ‘planes go technical then they will often switch?

  Wow £800 in Y to HNL, but £1097 in J – don’t need to book, but it’s a great deal.

  See flyer talk for ways to route to MAN on the return and add cheaper (£200) stopovers!

  Straight returns MAN – USA are circa £13xx at the mo

      Impressive price but those seats are horrific all the way on that route.

        my thoughts exactly. You would have to pay me to fly that route

  Stated at the IC for an event I was speaking at recently so I didn’t see the price paid for the.

  Had a nice room upgrade thanks to spite elite. The bar on the top floor is great but very busy when I arrived. The breakfast was very good but it was circa £25 if I remember.

    I am staying at The Crowne Plaza,Stephenson Quater in Newcastle breakfast is £9:00 if you book at check in or the day before, £16:00 on the morning you are having breakfast.
    I am not sure If that applies to the IC 02 as well?

      This is standard IHG practice but I doubt ICs would do this.

      IC Le Grand in Paris is Euro 49 I think!

  I’ve also started at the IC O2. Nice hotel, good size and well specced rooms (with a desk!), and nice bars at both the top floor and lower down (level 3?).

  Only issues were some missing prices for the minibar and dreadful service at breakfast, but at least there was a great buffet selection.

  Car park was virtually empty, even on an event night, so that might work well for visitors to the O2 if costs aren’t too extreme.

  In order to see whether adjoining days are cheaper in Business (rather than just Economy) it seems one needs to select a non-UK version of their website such as Germany.

  At £34 for two drinks and two macarons I can understand why it’s not busy. I don’t mind paying a premium for dining/drinking in an exclusive environment but from the way the report is written they haven’t been sitting slurping cocktails or vintage malts.

  I’m here at the moment to complete Accelerate. Upgrade on check-in (2 categories) which, as I am only a Gold IHG, suggests not too busy. Nothing on at the O2 last night however.

  Very nice hotel, lovely rooms with a great view and ridiculous value for £140 per night, booked on the day.
