          Same. And it took 5 attempts on different browsers and networks to open their adware link.

  I did notice some F to dallas popped up yesterday (not a lot though) so I guess this explains why.

  Re DFW capacity- and yet not one of the European flights connects to flights to the Islands of Hawaii. It is by far the most comfortable way to get there with flat beds all the way and DFW is very easy to transit and for immigration.

  Coming back is even worse requiring two nights in the air and 12 hrs plus transit.

  Dallas is however easy to navigate and a night stop outbound does allow for some decent time seeing the sights.

  I would always recommend returning from the islands at lunch time to LAX and overnight to JFK with AA day time to LHR. All together more civilised And straight to bed on arrival.

    It takes a certain kind of person to want to travel 17 hours and multiple flights for a beach holiday with the same thing available in much much close to home 🙄

    • Paul says:

      There’s a little bit more to the Hawaiian Islands than ‘a beach holiday’.

      • Blenz101 says:

        11 Nov11 November 09:25

        Do enlighten us what it is those islands have that can’t be had closer to home. Hula maybe? I bet I can save you at least 14 hours in the air.

          Spoken like someone who has never been anywhere but Benidorm.

          Never been, but I’ve lived in 7 countries in my life and visited every continent other than Antarctica so pretty well travelled.

          When I lived in Vancouver I did take the time to visit Hawaii as given the proximity from the west coast. Was still 6 hours. Why anybody would travel from the UK though remains a mystery and your snipe didn’t clear it up for me.

          Pearl Harbour, Arizona monument for one.

          But you’re right, it is a long long way to go and there are better tier point runs to be had!

    Having only been through DFW once I recall it was a PITA to change terminals, involving 1.5 hours in immigration and then customs to enter the US, a not insignificant wait for a bus ride and the bus ride itself to change terminals. then going through security again, checkin etc etc etc.

    Some of this down to fact that I dont use the global visa thingie.
    Bit for your average traveller transiting at T5 seemed like a picnic by comparison

  Really pleased that there will be more capacity to DFW. Been traveling there for 20 years and about 8 years ago, BA dropped one of the two daily direct flights, leaving just 1 BA & 2 AA direct flights to DFW (pre-COVID). Even in economy, prices literally jumped hundreds overnight and stayed consistently higher in all classes compared to IAH regardless of seasonality. Hopefully prices will start coming down a bit now…

  A380 also probable on Chicago.
  BA A380 cities likely to resume as follows:
  Chicago
  Dallas
  Los Angeles (to 2 daily depending on demand)
  Miami
  San Francisco
  And rest of world:
  Dubai
  Johannesburg (eventually 2 a day)

    What, no HKG or SIN?

    • John says:

      11 Nov11 November 10:18

      Low demand to HKG for most/all of 2022, also the crew problem (for example Air Canada has a stopover in Korea just so their crew doesn’t need to enter HK

  • Tom says:

    My SIN in April 22 is an A380 at present

  I have a LGW-BIO return booked on BA over Easter 2022. (It was ridiculously cheap a few months back, and I have friends in Bilbao I often go to visit). It wasn’t one of the flights they switched to Heathrow and I haven’t received a cancellation, but the flight is not presently on sale. I think the chances that BA Cityflyer will keep flying the route and at the exact same times are extraordinarily low, but I don’t want to book something else for Easter while that flight is still there. The silly problems we have.

    Is it not op by vueling?

• HBommie says:

  RC cruises are inclusive which would need to be factored in. Not just a bottle of water and a change of towels.

  The Ritz Carlton Yacht image looks like someone’s first ever go at photoshop!

  • Peter K says:
