  When travelling hand luggage only, I always order my toiletries from Boots online for collection at the airside Boots in the terminal. Having developed a reluctance to pay silly money for awful airline food over many years, I also pick up sandwiches and drink from Boots at the same time. I have a weakness for milk so it is a usually couple of pints and a couple of 99p sandwiches – chicken, tuna or egg-mayo. If everyone did like me, Primera and many other BOB airlines would be unviable.

    Tim, might you be kind enough to post your itineraries in advance please? I suspect others may wish to avoid sharing your airspace.

  We should take a leaf out of Hanibal Lectors book when he brings a Dean & DeLuca lunch box on board his flight.(minus the bit of brain though!)

  Ah. Lovely llujbiana. Very pretty place for a weekend away. Shame it is such a faff to get to

    Adria from Gatwick?

    • Sussex bantam says:

      Thanks but I can’t find any record of that on either the Adria website or in Expedia. Maybe it has stopped ? Only london option appears to be easyJet from stansted

      • Sam Goss says:

        Easyjet Gatwick or Stansted, Wizz from Luton or Adria from Manchester seems to be the offering – the Easyjet options seem pretty well timed for a slightly longer weekend

  You would think on that menu they simply missed out a decimal point…

  Don’t think LCC long-distance travel will ever work; otherwise Ryanair would have cleaned up a long time ago. The perceptions of amenities that even BA supply (both hard and soft product) increase disproportionately to the length of time of flight.

  • Michael Jennings says:

    I’ve seen similar BOB menus where the numbers were in that range, and the currencies were NOK, DKK, and SEK, too, so that’s another theory, given that these guys are Scandinavian.

    It must be a mistake of some kind.

  Interesting business model [that no one will purchase?] However as a cheap as chips way to over the pond it is an interesting prospect for me [I can get a direct train to BHX in 20 mins from home] Just shows to do your homework.
  However they are “only” charging £25 for a 23kg bag, that is £5 less than Ryanair charge for a 20kg bag for a sub-1 hour flight to DUB!

  Similar pricing model to Club Europe – a meal for £60, same seat.

    Love this!

    As with SWISS, Lufthansa, Air France, Iberia and most other legacy carriers in Europe.

  OT: Has anyone been able to get Le Club Platinum benefits (particularly room upgrades) at a Fairmont hotel since they were purchased by Accor? Are they even integrated to that level yet?

  • Alan says:

    3 Aug3 August 10:06

    Not tried yet, although do have the upgrade vouchers sitting in my account.

    Also received Accor Plat gift through the post of a Moleskin notebook, rather unexpectedly! Anyone else had that?

    • Lawro says:

      3 Aug3 August 10:48

      Yep – x2 arrived in the post over the last week. I thought they may have extended my Plat validity but no luck there…

      • Alan says:

        3 Aug3 August 11:22

        Indeed, would have much preferred they extend validity than send me that notebook. Can feel like I’m on Dragon’s Den now though… 😉

        • Genghis says:

          3 Aug3 August 11:36

          Just checked my account and I still have LCAH Plat but no moleskin for me…

        • Alan says:

          3 Aug3 August 11:40

          Interestingly the Plat card that was in the pack also says ‘MEETING PLANNER’ on it (as I signed up for that deal too, albeit not expecting I’ll get anything from it) – had you signed up for that or just have Plat. Not sure it makes a difference but did wonder…

        • Genghis says:

          3 Aug3 August 11:46

          I signed up for the meeting planner thing too when that came out but didn’t get anything from it as didn’t use it. Alas.

        • Alan says:

          3 Aug3 August 12:04

          Ah well, bang goes that theory 😀

        • Alex W says:

          3 Aug3 August 12:07

          Wife and I received those Accor packs recently. Weirdly, they were each addressed to our respective Ltd companies. Don’t remember ever giving that information to Accor?!

    • ankomonkey says:

      Not had the moleskin notebook, but read about it on LL and desperate to receive one. I do love airline/hotel loyalty scheme bling!

      • Rob says:

        3 Aug3 August 17:27

        I got one and my wife got one. Nice enough but I’m not short of notebooks – you tend to collect them in this line of work, companies always think media people want free notebooks.

        • Wally1976 says:

          Ah thanks Genghis, wondered why mine said “Meeting Planer” (sic) – now I remember!

    • David says:

      3 Aug3 August 17:32

      I got the moleskin notebook the other day, and like most people would have preferred them to stick to their old loyalty programme. I’m avoiding them now my platinum will be running out in Dec and sticking to Hilton.

  O/T: I’m a new AMEX Platinum cardholder, looking to book a car rental with Hertz. Does the Five Star benefit include a free second driver? I vaguely remember seeing this somewhere on the Hertz website but can’t find it now. I have asked AMEX, but the rep didn’t know.

  • Nick M says:

    3 Aug3 August 10:26

    Should be an upgrade and additional driver

  • Louise says:

    3 Aug3 August 10:59

    Think it’s spouse only as additional driver
