  A few factual errors/typos:

  Asturias is in Spain
  It’s Santiago de Compostela
  Florence is another route they’re flying from LGW (P2 is flying out next month)

    Another one: Vueling is flying to Granada (Spain) not Grenada (Caribbean)

      Anyone who books for Grenada on Rob’s advice will get one hell of a shock!!

        You get more leg room in the first four rows on Vueling than you do in Club Europe.

    Fixed but, as per other comment, I cut and pasted this from their press release 🙂

      Rob – that’s as maybe but two wrongs don’t make a right…😬

  I was hoping Corfu would be getting a lounge too this year, lots of building work was going on last September.

  Strange for IAG to brag about its self inflicted BA Gatwick brand damage debacle flight mess.

• A says:

  3 Apr3 April 08:58

  Lots of errors:

  “Asturias (Italy)”
  Asturias is in Spain

  And

  A Coruña not “La Coruna”
  Santiago de Compostela not “Compolita”

    This is a cut and paste from a Vueling press release!

      Grenada is a long way on Vueling.

  • Rui N. says:

    3 Apr3 April 13:34

    “La Coruna” with the “ñ” is in Castillian/”Spanish”. “A Coruña” is in Galician.

      3 Apr3 April 14:23

      Archaically, English-speakers knew the city as “The Groyne”, probably from French La Corogne.

      But there again, you have in the UK Edimburgo, Edinburg, Londres etc

        3 Apr3 April 18:03

        *Edimburg…😬

  “Anyone who books into the three hotels in the coming weeks and shows their Accor membership card will receive:”

  The start of a promising guerilla marketing campaign, why not also take IHG and Hilton memberships?

    Accor members will already have booked it.. trying to stop people rebooking elsewhere most likely.

  I remember the glory days of managing to book the queens in cheltenham on Happy Mondays offers.

  It used to have the same wallpaper as the Houses of Parliament.

  On Sunday 27 March I was on the first BA flight from Rotterdam since the service was suspended at the end of last year. The 1915 departure meant that, on Sunday at least, the lounge was closed. The check-in staff were very pleased to be able to advertise the new facility, despite it being closed. They went in search of the BA vouchers and I was given the usual €15 to spend in the cafe. There is a bit of rebuilding work underway in the terminal but it’s not causing any disruption. Rotterdam is such an easy and tiny airport to navigate. And if you want three recommendations for food in the city: Vessel 11, a converted lighthouse; Dudok, in a converted department store (plus a branch in the park by Euromast); Trattoria A Proposito, right by Centraal station.

    Has it grown much? I was last there in the early nineties and seem to remember only 2 or 3 gates – no jet bridge. I can’t remember if it was a free flight from Air UK (collect 12 tokens from the paper for a really free flight – not even taxes where charged back then!)

    • Simon Spanswick says:

      No air bridges. Stroll to the plane. 10 gates from memory, 2 for non-Schengen.

  Does anybody know if it’s possible to book a flexible reward ticket on Vueling? Last year’s Vueling-Avios article only mentions part-pay with Avios and booking through Iberia. My objective is to find a ticket that refunds to Avios instead of Vueling credit.
