  Speaking to staff at the Clubhouse it was a) rarely used and b) often needed closing for cleaning as people would spill champagne etc there.
  With the lounge more busy these days it made sense.

  Interesting fact though – the little machine to spin-dry one’s swimwear is still by the showers! Or at least it was last February.

  Thanks for the reminder, Nectar are notorious for missing Nectar points on promotions. So it’s always worth diarising key dates.I’ve had to chase Nectar via twitter for missing points most recently the Spin To Win

  I carried out the necessary transfer on the first day and have not received the bonus Avila nor received any bonus Nectar. Who should I contact to chase this?

  • Andrew says:

    Had you transferred to Nectar from Avios the day before? Anyone who did this didn’t qualify, despite us thinking their IT wouldn’t notice this.

    • DAJ says:

      No! I remember reading about not doing this so transferred on 25th January which if I remember correctly, was the first official day.

  • Rob says:

    That’s your problem. The promo started on the 2nd day after transfers started.

      Marvellous!

      Trigger happy I sent 1600 nectar on the 24th and then another 1600 on the 25th. The 500 avios and double nectar points all tracked.

    I too transferred 1600 Nectar points to Avios for the deal on day one and it shows on my Nectar account. Have rung and web chatted with Nectar several times but. despite promises that my case is allegedly still with the back office to pursue, nothing has happened. I feel my points were stolen from me and that Nectar do not care.

      So you never got the 1000 Avios?

  Vueling used to fly from Newcastle, didn’t last long. See how long it lasts this time around. Although EasyJet did operate the route also but since they closed their base at Newcastle that route has gone

  • HBommie says:

    With Easyjet closing their NCL base does this mean that they won’t return until this is reinstated (not saying it will), or do the logistics meaning that flights could return without a ‘base’?

    • Rob says:

      They can fly to Newcastle from other bases, and immediately fly back. It just means no aircraft will be based there and no crew based locally.

  Nectar, +1908. Not sure if thats more or less than I expected. What was included/excluded?

  • Froggitt says:

    3 May3 May 09:07

    I wonder if my monthly L&G/Nectar Life Insurance deal is going to double these points as well?

• Allycat says:

  Nectar +870 which seems exactly correct as 1x the points showing against my online shopping since the BA transfer date. They haven’t included a 1x bonus against any weekly nectar point offers that were saved & used or against the juicy points boost they did in Feb, which is a shame 🙁

  Anyway, this week was the last week with Sainsbury’s and we are back to Tesco now. Our weekly shop seems to have been about 5-10% more expensive on average with Sainsbury’s and their levels of non-availability and choice/quality of substitutions is poorer. Both supermarkets have very large stores in York that do the online shopping deliveries but Tesco seem to be better stocked and also have friendlier drivers I think, although mileage does vary.

  • TGLoyalty says:

    The T&Cs were double the base points earned at sainsburys so no surprise they didn’t double anything else.

• RussellH says:

  84 points credited as British Airways bonus dated 3 April

  But looking at the points total, that is still what it was yesterday, ie 30 points more than it was Saturday.
  Either the bonus was credited sometime earlier, or Nectar cannot add up.
  Not sure which is the less unlikely…

  Had a few fun times in the hot tub. In fact like you say hardly used! That was the beauty, you could always use it! I never spilt champagne in it but did lose one of my socks once….missing when I got out, didn’t have time to look for it as it was final call for my flight……….

  • Allycat says:

    3 May3 May 11:13

    You were wearing your socks in the hot tub ? 🤣

  • J says:

    So you’re the reason they give everyone a new pair on board!
