  With Lego any resell opportunity?

    Maybe exporting it to the USA – apparently Lego are actively trying to stop customers there buying Lego, as they cannot keep up with the current demand!

  Reference the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, it appears that the FAA and airlines are giving conflicting advice. Although airlines will allow it onboard, and the FAA “strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage”

  However, the FAA also states “If a product that is a hazardous material or that contains a hazardous material component (e.g., battery) is subject to a safety recall related to the hazardous material, it must not be carried aboard an aircraft or in baggage unless the recalled product/component has been replaced or repaired or otherwise made safe.”

    I prefer the FAA version – what sort of security system deems 105ml of water too dangerous to carry, but happily allows passengers to carry a plug-in incendiary device? But if they’ve been recalled, why has anyone still got one anyway?

      Whilst I found the last comment mirthful, I do think it should replaced with:

      “And here’s a slap across the face for having the stupidity for not having returned it yet”

        The comment I was referring to was:

        “Buy a proper phone next time.”

  The £10 off coupon works proportionately. So as long as you are left with £75 of Lego Friends after the discount is applied, you’d still see the 1500 Avios. It could be (say) £80 of Lego Friends & £100 of something else in your order, before discount. But yes – simpler to buy £85 of Lego Friends in the first place.

  Avoid my mistake of buying £80 of Lego in the offer & £5 of Lego outside the offer – doesn’t work. Easy enough to pull up the list of what’s included. You get 15-20 mins to cancel your order online, otherwise you can phone CS.

  Lufthansa Group also require the galaxy note 7 is switched off and not being charged on all flights (not just those to the US), there’s an announcement after the safety briefing on every flight I had in the last week or so with them. Qatar didn’t say anything.

  OT: is anyone else having problems with the Creation (IHG credit card) website? It’s just timing out for me

    Do you mean the account servicing bit? Never had an issue with it myself.

    • Andy S says:

      Yes, the home page loaded but the account servicing bit timed out. It’s working now.

  Travelled on two FlyBE services at the weekend and they made additional PAs after the safety briefing with the same advice and the instruction to inform cabin crew immediately if such a device had been packed in hold baggage.

  I had a couple of flights with American last week and they are making the same announcement about the Galaxy Note both onboard and at the gate. It was on the news a lot as well after the FAA announcement with it being commented that it’s impossible to enforce.

    Virgin are doing the same, a PA after boarding saying it must remain off and not charging for the duration of the flight
