  I booked LHR-DOH-HKG in the March Qatar sale and so far the DOH-HKG segment is on a non QSuite B773 (2-2-2 configuration).

    Same here on the outlet but return is now flagging as a Q Suite. So not quite sure what to make of it?

  787-8, not a 787-9

  Perhaps replace the QR A380 First Class pic given the article relates to a Business Class offer on other aircraft types.

  OT – used the £5 off £20 Nandos Amex offer last night, and this morning have a 500 Avios on a £10 Deliveroo order on my BAPP. Not bad if its in your area.

    Also 500 MR on my wife’s platinum card.

    Man I missed the Nandos offer. I would have loved that.

    Quick question – is there a limit to how many offers you can save? Like is there a penalty if you just went in and saved every offer every time just in case? I know that it isn’t great as it may stop others who would use it having it if it is limited (And I am not planning to do it) but I just wondered if anyone knew if it was actually not allowed.

    Went Nandos last night…. sadly my BAPP or Plat didn’t have the Nandos offer.

    Got the deliveroo offer though.

  There was a LHR (and LGW) to HKG QR sale a few weeks ago too, £1400 if you took BA to DOH (with potential substitution to QR)

  what’s with the transfer by national express coach from Gatwick to Heathrow? is that really necessary??

  • Andrew says:

    6 Aug6 August 08:33

    Only if you are transferring between Gatwick & Heathrow and you choose not to use any other option.

    According to Google, you can cycle it in around 2h35m.

      With a suitcase?

  O/T – finally applied for the amex plat last night. My credit is great and already have the BAPP but I got the following message: “Unfortunately we are unable to give you a final decision today.

  We just need to do a few extra checks before your application can be processed and we will let you know the final decision within the next 10 working days.”

  Does anyone know what these checks they mention might be? Trying to work out if I’m likely to be successful.

  Have never been refused credit before so am quite worried.

  • Paul says:

    That’s normal – don’t worry. I’ve never had an immediate acceptance and all of my AMEX applications have been approved.

    Had that with my last two applications and the cards arrived 5 days later.

  • Ron says:

    Got the same last time and called them, the agent approved it while I was on the phone.

    You wuss

  • Pangolin says:

    6 Aug6 August 19:31

    Don’t worry about that. It’s a charge card and they’re very unlikely to refuse someone for a £450 card that has to be off in full every single month.

    • Pangolin says:

      6 Aug6 August 19:31

      err.. ‘paid off’ I guess

  Booked an October J flight LGW-DOH-PEN rtn for my mum for £1680 last week. Thought that was pretty good!
  My mum bless her though having never flown QR is worried it won’t match up to BA 🙂

  • Polly says:

    6 Aug6 August 08:25

    She will think she has died and gone to heaven when she sits in that plane. And wonder how she put up with ba all those years!

    • BJ says:

      If the choice is direct versus Doha I would still take BA every timd without a second thought. Even though I don’t have that luxury from EDI, AF, AY, LH and KL are all still ahead of QR becsuse I can get a decent sleep.

      • Leo says:

        6 Aug6 August 12:33

        I agree. Direct always wins for me. I’m not actually very keen on Qatar – although I know that puts me in a minority of one here. The QR lounge at LHR is a nice way to start though and it’s a good way to status if you are chasing it..

    Oh this made me smile
    On our trip back from Mexico last week BA had no meal, no milk and couldnt serve me a second helping helping on jack daniel as they had run out of it. The food was insipid and our main courses were returned untouched, and of course the cabin crew had no courtesy to query why !
    This was club world revenue seats booked months in advance with a “paid for ” seat for toddler
    Its shameful and pathetic.
    The cabin crew said that only get 2 boxes of milk for the cabin and 6 bottle miniatures .. now difficult to blame them !!

    Had it been KUL then yes BA could have been a better option but there is no direct flight to PEN from the UK.
    Take your point though about the flight times…

    • BJ says:

      For your mums specific travels I would have prefered MH overnight but ultimately any one stop is good so I would probably have settled for whatever offered the best value.
