  Spoke to CS at BA to check my previous question.

  Off peak return LHR – Toulouse end of Sept is 51,000 Avios + £2 for 2 PAX in Club. I was expecting 31,000 Avios based off the chart here:

  That seems a hell of a lot of Avios. Has something changed that I’ve missed?

    It IS 31,000 points (give or take) if you pay the historic £50 per person tax.

    You have chosen to pay an extra 20,000 Avios to say £98 of tax. This is a bad deal but the choice was there.

      I’m sure replies similar to Rob’s were given to your original question.

  Poor old Mr Hoon:

  [Mr Hoon, who is the director of an engineering company, said: ‘It’s not been the best of breaks.
  ‘We’re in a very nice hotel but I wasn’t expecting to spend so much time in the room. First it was the weather and now it’s the coronavirus.
  ‘These four days have been very stressful, which will only push my blood pressure up. I was also due to return to work later this week which has just increased my worry.’
  He added: ‘The boredom is already getting to us. There’s only one English language channel on the television and we have only one book to read.’
  Fearing that the hotel’s air ducts might spread the coronavirus, Mr Hoon has switched off the air conditioning in his room, making things more testing. Temperatures in Tenerife at this time of year can reach 84F.
  He said: ‘It’s already getting hot and sticky. I don’t know how long we’ll last just stuck in this room without a clue about what’s happening.
  ‘I fear that things will only get worse and we could be here for some time.’]

    Indeed. The coronavirus deniers are doing nobody a favour:

    [THE Iranian government has insisted it is not covering up the true scale of the coronavirus outbreak in the country after an MP claimed the death toll from the disease was five times higher than official figures.
    Neighbouring Middle Eastern states have since shut land borders and cancelled flights to the Islamic republic.
    Iran’s health ministry said there were 64 confirmed cases of the virus with 12 deaths, but Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani, an MP from Qom, said the government was “lying” and that there were 50 deaths in his city alone.
    The World Health Organisation believes the coronavirus has an estimated 2 per cent fatality rate, meaning that the total number of infected people in Iran could be about 2,500.]

    That is the Spanish way of doing things. Simple, stupid and no ceremonies.

    Yokohama-docked cruise liner shows exactly what happen if you lock 1000+ people in small quarters, no quarantine, sharing breakfast utensils… the number of infected goes 20 –> 600 in days, exponentially indeed.

      Meaning no real quarantine, single-use items, cleaning, medical supervision. Under old ventilation systems that stir only more aerosol and no HEPA filters.

        Ricatti – you are correct – you know the best place to find HEPA filters in the UK? – Henry Hoover!
