  Flew TAP this week. No shortage of aircraft or crew. Crew were super friendly and efficient. BA simply doesn’t have good Strategy, Planning or Operations

    TAP is having huge problems with lack of staff, and pilots are currently discussing striking over mandatory overtime…

  Flew BER – LGW a few weeks ago. Other than the branding on the plane and the staff uniforms most passengers won’t have even been aware (or cared) this wasn’t a BA operated flight.

  Only one moaner in CLUB though IMHO was trying to catch them out with some silly questions. He tried to make a thing of the coffee being served in paper cups but they basically told him it was what BA had given them.

  As an aside it was paper cups on BA operated AMS-LHR last week so the great cup shortage of 2022 still lingers but there were cups on LCY – AMS.

  Crew was good. Was an issue with not being able to find things in the cart but have had that anyway with BA crew.

  And absolutely no issue with the correct TPs and Avios crediting a couple of days later as normal.

  Off to Kimpton Toronto a week on Sunday, so remind me & I’ll let you know if the secret social works 😁

  Just received an email about LHR-CPH being operated by Iberia. It says service will be the same but you may be required to wear a mask. Maybe a BA-operated flight would be preferable in this case?

    There is no requirement to wear a face covering in Denmark, But the airline may request you to wear one.

    I have just received an email about a late August FCO to LHR flight will now being operated by Iberia. It says “there should be no change to the service you receive on board, however you may be required to wear a mask. will be the same but you may be required to wear a mask.”

  Back to the Kimpton secret password… two free cocktails at the Fitzroy this evening.

    Ooo, staying at the Fitzroy on Friday for The Killers at the Emirates, wonder if I get any extras for being a Diamond Elite?

  “Unfortunately, we felt the impact to customers holiday was too great and took the difficult decision to cancel the flight.”

  What does this actually mean?!

  • Peter King says:

    31 May31 May 23:10

    It means the flight has been cancelled, which bit was hard to understand ?

  • ChrisC says:

    Perhaps that the delay would be so significant that the passengers would have very little time on holiday compared to the original schedule?

  I got a box of fudge at The Clocktower Kimpton in Manchester a few weeks ago for using the ‘just chilling’ password….oh, and a nice little booklet explaining the history of the building!
  I also got a lovely upgrade but that was more to do with being a Diamond and Ambassador 🙂

  A word of warning
  Last week I flew Tel Aviv to Madrid
  Ticketed business class with Iberia through BA on a 4 way ticket
  I am GGL
  They switched planes last minute so ended up on 5hour flight with zero service of any description, no blankets pillows water or amenity bag
  Seat in front of me
  Uncomfortable seat that of course hardly reclined
  In addition non existence service and begrudgingly was given a plastic glass of water
  So keep in mind you pay for business and get nothing for your money
  Disgraceful and I won’t fly Iberia again
  I wonder what BA might do to compensate as it’s not what I paid for and wasn’t happy on a longish flight

  • Rob says:

    You don’t qualify for compensation because none of the things you mentioned are contractual.

    When Tel Aviv was long haul, BA would occasionally swap your flat bed for a Club Europe seat and refuse to compensate unless threatened.
