  The pool was removed during a refurbishment (around 2017 or so) and replaced with additional seats and tables.

    indeed the extra tables we due to Delta elites being granted access.

  ‘…will soon have an opportunity to try out Vueling’ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What an opportunity. Based in Northumberland, prior to Covid I used NCL and EDI about 60/40. With the removal of the BA lounge at NCL, it will just be more pleasant flying from Edinburgh hands down. Newcastle airport security is great. The airport is great. It’s just the Geordies in general. On the upside, at least they don’t sound like the Scousers. Or even worse, trying to speak to people from Sheffield 🙂

    You choose the Saughton snarl at Edinburgh over the Geordies in Newcastle?

  Hi Rob and the team, when you say “qualified to receive double Nectar points on all of their Sainsbury’s spending from the date of the transfer to 19th April. These points have now posted.” How do these post, as a lump on a particular day? I’ve gone through my Nectar history back to the date I did the transfer to BA in Feb and can’t see any double posing of Nectar points in my account

    Mine appear as follows on 14th April in the activity summary on the app

    British Airways
    Bonus Reward. + (number of points

    Then in the detail

    Shopped date 14th April 2021
    Points added 01 May 2021

    The 14th April was the last day I did any shopping that qualified for the double points .

    I don’t see any extra points in my activity

    • Rob says:

      3 May3 May 09:35

      Lump sum marked as British Airways.

  Was the 1000 nectar bonus only available to the main nectar card holder (as a supplementary hard holder I’ve not received anything)?

  The Virgin hot tub was a nice touch, adding a bit of extra decadence – but never used it either. The Finnair lounge in Helsinki has a sauna as part of the shower area which I did use on a morning transfer back from Asia – no swimwear required of course.

    Don’t tell anyone at AA, or the JV will be amended to make clothing compulsory.
    This happened to the Hotel Kamp, when they were part of Starwood.
    Perhaps that is why they are not part of Marriott?

      Oh those puritans…

  • Lord Doncaster says:

    I think the first lounge at LHR T5 can be thought of as a sauna anyway…

  “Avios Nectar Launch Offer” for 500 Avios appeared 9 March (credited way back on 11 March)
  “British Airways Bonus Reward” for 117 Nectar appears 13 April (credited 1 May).

  Time to merge some family Nectar accounts

  There was a steam room in BAs T4 lounge complex at gate 10 below the Concorde departure gate lounge. They also had full size massage tables.
  The smell of the hot tip must have permeated across most of the lounge as it was not separated.

  Remembering your trunks is one thing but what about the wet trunks you then have ahead of a long flight etc?

  • A says:

    They had a spinner drier

    • Alex Sm says:

      3 May3 May 16:55

      Apparently they still have it! See comments above

      • A says:

        3 May3 May 19:56

        Absolutely bizarre it is still there – can’t imagine there’s much cause for it, unless virgin has a large number of flyers who wet themselves

      Hmmm… still expecting a mildest smell from my bag by the time I’ve flown around the world with slightly damp clothing in a plastic bag

      Just had the wonderful thought of seeing clothing hung out to dry over the door of club suites…
