  Fantastic Pathe newsreel, wonderfully narrated by the late Bob Danvers-Walker

  They have the same audio controls as the BA lounge showers! Those ones seemed to work though!

  IHG 30% is off advance, not best flexible bookings?

  Qatar sale is misleading.
  Their teacher offer the other day was genuinely dishonest.
  This airline needs to be careful if they don’t want to annoy people and undo the positivity they created during the first six months of Covid.

    Substantiate?

      No availability to any of the dozens of destinations that I checked for the next 4 UK school holidays.
      And in the 5th holiday (may half term) I can only find Muscat and Jakarta.
      The second ticket is supposed to be 50% off the base fare, but seems it can’t be in the W booking class, and so you end up paying for a higher base fare resulting in a larger than 50% off the W class fare you just booked for the primary ticket.

      Given that the offer was for teaching staff, and restricted to W booking class for the first ticket, its ridiculous that there is apparently no W booking class availability during School holidays. Remember teaching staff cannot take leave outside of school holidays.

      Hence a dishonest offer for teaching staff

        It’s a global offer. Even the rest of Europe doesn’t follow UK term dates – German kids are back at school in mid August for example.

        Have you approached Qatar about this? Wondering what their response may be (I’ve not even had chance to search for anything yet!) :/

    Got an email yesterday from someone who booked Tokyo on the exact dates he wanted, so it seems to vary.

      I’m interested in knowing which school holiday period this lucky chap booked his flights.

      Ouch… Tokio via Doha is not something I would do in economy. Did it once – never again; your travel time is almost doubled. Way way way way better if you manage to get something from Europe to Japan.

  Please could someone remind me the telephone number for First class customers. Still waiting for a refund that I cancelled a month or two ago. Thanks

  Great news to hear regarding Shangri La Golden Circle updates. For a while I was worried my points would expire at the end of this year.

  If we have a totally cancelled QR Y trip can we change to any date in 2021 regardless of booking class, as long as Y seats are available?
