  Somehow I can’t see them enforcing this in the first wing….

    First Wing and all fast-tracks will be closed. First and Gold cards will have to queue with everyone else.

  OT but LHR for all Heathrow expert out there

  If I am flying from/to LHR every week (Sunday out / Friday back), is there any cost effective option for parking?
  Ideally minimum distance away from T5 or on free shuttle.

  Currently taking taxi but would like to explore the parking if cost and time effective.

    Have you looked at Just Park site?

  • Chrisasaurus says:

    Depends on the length of the drive/taxi ride of course, but taxi is far less stressful than driving and parking. If I just drive it’s business parking and pods for me when I can.

    Or, throwing this out there – rent a car from the airport friday and return it Sunday?

    • Roger says:

      Car rental from airport is what I have done in the past too, so a good option.

      Just looking to see if there is any special deal to be had with any official car parking provided, including Heathrow itself.

  Laptops/phones/cameras/ipods/ipads/tablets are NOT the problem . The bottleneck are liquids, make-up and babyfood. There are many st*pid people that are unwilling to learn the rules… after SO many years… and this clogs the security line.

  By BA rules the small personal item is: no bigger than 40cm x 30cm x 15cm. Make your conclusions.

    Woman in front of me had an entire Body Shop store in her bag and stood there motionless deep in thought trying to decide what 1/4 of her haul she wanted to cram into the plastic bag and keep while the half dozen of us behind (we had medicines and ice packs in cool bag) lost our minds.

    Not like any of us had a plane to catch…

  Selfishly _ good news on the BALPA strike as we fly home on the 17th. Time to cancel all those 50p Avios contingency redemption bookings I had ! I was quite surprised that I was able to get flights on 14th 15th and 17th last week.

    Update your results with any issues.

  OT looking at BA flights next year to Spain for summer and for some reason LGW to Spain are £500+ each but from LHR to Spain are only around £100 each. At this rate its probably cheaper to pay cash than RFS. Gib is even cheaper. Plus LHR is closer for me.

  What are BA doing? Using flex pricing as they see LGW is popular when I was looking?

  • Chrisasaurus says:

    Was same for us last year – CW cash from LHR made the most sense (to MAD) so jumped on it.

    Had I been thinking straight I’d have added a hotel room or car for a day and used ba holidays too but I wasn’t…

    If you’re looking a flights which have only just been released, T-355, it’s not unusual that the LGW flights initially appear with only the full Y bucket available and then cheaper seats are added perhaps a few weeks later. Whereas LHR flights appear with lower buckets already open. Found the same at May half term, though it may be even more random than a LHR/LGW distinction.

  Eek, potential strike date keeps getting closer and closer to 30th Aug, which would be rather troublesome for me!!

  • Genghis says:

    As purchase

    • SG says:

      Thank you Genghis

    Any ideas about MBNA or Barclaycard? I can see people reporting that Tandem is blocked… but hear conflicting things about Barclaycard treating it as a purchase and nothing at all about MBNA

    • Mark2 says:

      When I was using Revolut a month or so ago (before they wanted my entire financial life history) they would not have anything to do with (Hilton) Barclaycard – either loading from or bank transfer to pay bill. Any smell of Barclays triggered the security procedure.

  OT: Flying Saudia Airlines. What should I credit my journey to? Ideally to an airline that I can get them over to Avios / Virgin / into some hotels.

  • marcw says:

    4 Aug4 August 11:31

    You can credit to Flying Blue. Then you can convert the miles to Accor… but transfer is not that great.

    I credit mine to Delta as I travel a lot within the USA. One way redemptions are easy with low taxes I have found. So even if I have 8,000-10,000 Delta Skymiles, I have made use of them for myself or booked for my children.

      Thanks all. What about best one that allows pooling? Have 3 family members going too.
