  Advanced Purchase tickets? What about Retreated Purchase ones? Maybe you mean Advance…🙄

  I have spent around £1800 with LNER in the past 12 months, and I got the 1500 nectar points email.

  Nectar has never really excited me, so hopefully this paves the way for something better. Back in the good old days I earned more Flying Club miles from train travel than I ever did from actual flying.

    a return of something like East Coast rewards hopefully!

      What was the EC rewards exactly?

  FYI LXR Bodrum is NOT a new property! It is conversion from Nikki Beach …. poor research skills here!

    TripAdvisor appear to be confused to and have wiped the review history, unlike Booking.com which (for now) retains it, with an average score of 8.6. I stopped reading after seeing someone point out it’s not very child friendly.

      I did look into this – I thought it was a rebrand – but a Google search did not bring anything up. Hilton press releases also uses the phrase ‘brand new’.

  I read friends are not allowed in the terminal when dropping off. What about cab drivers meeting me at arrivals.?
  I travel BA to Malaga today returning 18th. Silver card holder, I will let you know our experience having been moved from Gatwick to Heathrow. First comment is the web site that says cancelled/how to get a refund? Then it leaves the cancelled flight all over the app. Very confusing. Now cannot check in my ticket but my wife can on the same booking. Something about they cannot find my e ticket number but do confirm flight and seat?

  The most interesting thing in this article is the throwaway comment about when BA may move short-haul back to Gatwick. I’ve rebooked my September flights from Gatwick to Heathrow – now I need to see if they will get moved back again!

  Why a three alcoholic drinks limit per person? That’s a bit miserable.

  • Rob says:

    8 Jul8 July 09:24

    Who has more than 3 alcoholic drinks before a flight?!

    • Rhys says:

      8 Jul8 July 09:28

      I think I sampled every gin on offer in the Qantas lounge before my trip to Sydney, Rob (plus a couple espresso martinis in Cathay!)

        No wonder you thought your flight all the way to Australia in Economy was painless Rhys 🙂

        You should listen to your employer. It’s an offence to be drunk onboard an aircraft under the Air Navigation Order. It sounds like you were over the limit.

        Drunkenness in aircraft
        242.—(1) A person must not enter any aircraft when drunk, or be drunk in any aircraft.
        (2) A person must not, when acting as a member of the crew of any aircraft or being carried in any aircraft for the purpose of acting as a member of the crew, be under the influence of drink or a drug to such an extent as to impair their capacity so to act.

      Exactly! I’m far from teetotal but who needs more than 3 servings of the cheap booze they serve before getting on what is essentially public transport?

      Lots of people can stomach more than 3 drinks & remain relatively civilised rather than turning into an annoying/obnoxious idiot but if you get vexed by a 3 drink limit then you’re much more likely to fall into the latter category in my experience!

        +1

        Some people seem to think aircraft are bars with wings rather than public transportation so I’m not surprised that attitude extends to lounges.

  • Blenz101 says:

    I think they have always had some limit on the number of alcoholic drinks they say you are allowed. I’ve never had a problem getting more than this limit but by having this very clear rule displayed they can easily prevent any loutish or rowdy behaviour from those who have the potential to behave in such a way.

  LNER is not a franchise. Its owned by a subsidiary of the Department for Transport, like Northern Rail.

  Wouldn’t it have been better for LGW to keep South Terminal open instead of North? The train station is at South so people getting to LGW by train need to use the shuttle to get to North (more troubles to keep social distance, etc).

  • Rob says:

    8 Jul8 July 09:44

    Presumably a lot of work for easyJet. Number of South flights which had to move to North can probably be counted on your fingers.

    • Lady London says:

      8 Jul8 July 10:11

      Yes. Basically Britsh Airways seems to be being hosted by “the Easyjet terminal’ at Gatwick.

      I also prefer the South Terminal. Even though it’s the older one. I allow an extra 45 min to reach any flight going out of the North Terminal. 2 reasons : the pfaff having to get the monorail train from South to North Terminal if you arrive by rail, and also the very long distances to lots if the North Terminal gates from the central area (although very scenic views.onto the airport from the escalators on the route to the farthest gates).

      • Richard M says:

        Yes agreed. South Terminal much more convenient if travelling to/from Gatwick by train
