Surf Air, the membership based private jet company which recently moved to London City Airport, has launched flights to Sion in Switzerland over the ski season.’
This adds a further route to their daily service from London to Zurich. Sion may be a more useful route than Zurich, since commercial flights to the airport are few and far between.

Tilly says: “take the Overground to Stratford and touch the pink reader again, then get on the District Line again and go up to Upminster” …… I go through Stratford station 5-6 days a week and I’m pretty certain there is no district line. To pick up the district from Stratford you have to either take the central line 1 stop to Mile End or the Jubilee line or DLR to West Ham and change.
RussellH says: Correct! I am annoyed with myself for not picking that up immediately.
I have done Gunnerbury – Stratford – Prince Regent for Excel (WTM) a few times; not much slower than via Westminster and Canning Town changes, and, as others have mentioned, vastly more interesting.
Adam says: OT thinking of downgrading from BAPP to the fee free BA Amex as I have triggered the 2-4-1 voucher. I have cleared the balance down to zero but avios do not transfer until 14th February. Do I need wait for the avios to transfer before I downgrade or will I lose them? Hoping to get a couple of months fee rebate by doing it before January month end. Thanks for any guidance.
Nick says: It’s pro-rata by day so entirely irrelevant. You’re best to wait till the avios have definitely moved though for security.
Adam says: Cheers Nick
EBungle says: This reminds me of when I was a kid and lived near Harrow but met a girl near Sutton. Took me hours to work out how to get there with my Zones 4,5 and 6 travel card. Although that was mostly busses.
Fenny says: When I was a kid, I could go anywhere on South Yorkshire Transport buses for 2p. It eventually went up to 5p, but I had a bus pass to get to college by then and used that on weekdays.
Rob says: As did I. 7p for my Dad.
Trystan says: Can’t believe I can get from Cardiff direct to Heathrow now for £1 on National Express if booking in advance! And it only takes 3hours!!
AndyR says: OT Does Amex give bonus points for adding supplementary cardholders on the SPG card? Thanks.
mark2 says: not in my experience but
Ia says: I’ve been using the X-26 from West London for a long time. About 45 minutes to get to LHR.
Intentionally Blank says: Came here to say this. £1.50 from Croydon via kingston and the recent x26 I was on had usb sockets!
Kilburnflyer says: We tend to do the Uber =} Acton Town for circa £9 from NW London, then jump on Piccadilly line to T5 from there, 26mins & costs £1.50pp off peak. Much less hassle than going all the way into central London and back out again but miles cheaper than a cab all the way
Tim M says: Mornington Crescent!
