  OT: Anyone know when the new Heathrow T5 lounge will accept priority pass? I was there the other day and they wouldn’t let me in. Sent me to the Aspire instead!

  • Rob says:

    No. I had lunch with the guy who owns PP last week (and who also owns half of the T5 Aspire lounge) and he didn’t mention it when the topic of T5 came up.

    Plaza Premium will let you in with an Amex Plat.

  Don’t like the larger font size in mobile, sorry. Please revert back to what it was.

  • Rob says:

    19 Jan19 January 08:47

    Give it 24 hours. I have fully adjusted to it in a day. It is roughly the same as every major newspaper and most large blogs.

    Use a browser that requests the desktop site. Most mobile sites are unusable for me.

      Me too ! First first class from LHR to SIN in May. Did UC on Virgin last year but didn’t like the individual seat layout and plane was a bit grubby so looking forward to our first First with BA.

        Enjoy! Had my first First last year to HKG! Remember not to get carried away with food in Concorde lounge. I made a mistake and stuffed myself, so after eating all the food on board as well couldn’t sleep properly. Don’t forget to pre-book the spa treatment (28 days out) and check the Concorde room menus before on Flyertalk to know what to order when you get there.

  Booked in the Embassy Suites for a week in April, glad it is actually open now as the date moved a few times.

  I spent the whole of yesterday desperately trying to make the font smaller – kinda glad it’s not me breaking my phone! The text is too big now though, it makes it really hard to read with far too much scrolling. I know you’re going for an older audience (rip-off Britain!) but an option to customise for those who can actually read normal sized text would be good.

  • Rob says:

    19 Jan19 January 10:30

    It’s not about an older audience, it is more about making it in line with what most other sites are doing.

      I hope you are going to avoid the repetition style whereby stories are flagged up with headlines only for the same to be repeated further down the page. I find that very annoying.

      I find it annoying sadly. My job is all about vision and it comes across as poor vision/children’s book print.

      On the other hand the larger print typically used on a Kindle compared to a printed book encourages slower reading but greater comprehension so maybe it’s a good thing.

  Redesign for mobile – I really don’t like the bold font used for article titles. Seems a bit “cheap” looking. But changes to the spacing are welcome and it does look a bit fresher.

  Also – comment form – few minor layout issues on the text boxes.

  • Rob says:

    19 Jan19 January 10:29

    Thanks, will check. This is only a temporary fix until I sign off on the new design contract.

  Had a quick look at this on the mobile rather than my laptop – so much easier to read & a great improvement thanks.
  I don’t need to turn to landscape or pop my specs on now to read it. And it 43 yrs I don’t think I’m in “Rip Off Britain” territory 😀

  • Rob says:

    19 Jan19 January 10:28

    Don’t read it on mobile because we get peanuts for the advertising compared to the desktop site 🙂

    • @mkcol says:

      19 Jan19 January 17:47

      Don’t worry, only meant it was easier than before – still easiest on my laptop/work computer when I get more than 17 seconds to myself…..
