  The air stewards did mention this cancelatation was imminent on my last trip LHR-CGK leg ( I skipped the onwards leg to BKK).

  Best Lontong Sayur Ive ever had was on Garuda J.

  OT: IF I book flights on my gold credit card then later upgrade it to diamond (dont know if thats possible as no longer charge card), will I still be covered by various insurances as technically I would have “cancelled” the card I used?

    Amex Platinum? Or diamond something else?

    When they were both charge the gold number became your Platinum so would 100% count. I think since you paid with an AMEX issued card you would be covered by the Platinum insurance, atleast this is how I hope it works otherwise I would fall foul too.

  How can I add my GE number to ensure it is printed on my boarding pass. Historically it was under Known traveller Number , but BA has been struggling to ensure this actually was printed on boarding pass. Have they now fixed this?

  Had those two flying out of Phoenix in the normal security line in March, so TSA pre-check might not give you much in all airports!

  the title ‘enrolment on arrival’ is a little misleading as you will have had to have already passed UK Home Office checks and had conditional approval from the CBP.

  ‘Interview on Arrival’ would be a better description.

  As to pre they still prefer you not to have a load of metal – keys / coins / phone in your pockets.

  I flew from SFO – London mid-may, there was no advertising at check-in that BA were now taking part in TSA Pre-check until I asked the check-in agent on the off chance, and he stated since the beginning of May they were now part of pre-check (along with a few other non-US carriers too). Saves so much time! This was one of the only benefits of taking a US carrier until recently…..

  Apologies as I know this post is a few days old now but can I just clarify whether TSA pre-check is available for non-US citizens? Reading the above, it would suggest that it is (hence the London based interviews) but unless I am being thick then all of the sites that I have found/read talk about this only being available to US citizens.

  Thanks

    If you have Global Entry then TSA-Pre is automatic, if you’re a non US citizen I’m not sure that you can get TSA-Pre on it’s own, but Global Entry is a worthwhile investment if you don’t mind paying the fee. I’m regularly through US immigration faster than my US citizen wife.
