  That explains it!

  Iberia check-in staff has been very grumpy. The business check in counter could stay empty for like 15 mins and a call for someone/supervisor resulted in “staff on the changeover, we are not machines”… followed by threats to call for police in case one tries to document (record) this appalling service!

  The breakfast can’t be better than the grand Hyatt Berlin? I felt like Mr Creosote on leaving.

    They are very similar but PH has the edge – better room as well.

  Gutted about Comair – last week booked JNB-CPT on kulula.com for late August! Reckon they’ll bounce back or should I just claim the refund and rebook with another airline?

    That’s the question. I think there is a slim hope that they will restart operating but I think I’d cut my losses and rebook now as there are now fewer flights to choose from and the options available today may sell out the closer to departure.

      Think you’re right. Have booked onto Link and emailed Kulula for a refund – hopefully they are prompt about issuing it!

      Looks like booking new flights elsewhere was a good idea – Comair is now permanently going under. Asked them for a refund a week ago and no response to my email yet…

  If you are travelling on Iberia metal on a BA code share are you still obliged to check in at the Iberia desks? It’s a while since I flew Iberia from T5. I thought (probably wrongly) a codeshare allowed you to use BA desks.

  • SamG says:

    Yes you need to use Iberia desks

    To begin with they operated as BA “prime” flights with IB codeshare numbers so they could use BA systems and any desk but they’ve had their own set up for quite a while now & you always check in with your operating carrier

    You always have to check in with the operating carrier regardless of codeshares. In practice at T5 as a Gold at Easter this meant checking in at the Iberia section when walking down to the F Wing to go through security into the F lounge.

    Yes you do. Quite annoying as I find out to be sent across the terminal and back again by First Wing staff (not their fault of course).

  I was hoping to squeeze in a trip to Hamburg and the Hyatt before the end of the year. Even the smaller rooms look great for a young family.

    Hyatt Prive gets you an upgrade confirmed within 24 hours of booking, so the trick is to book 1 level below what you want and then wait a day.

  The big question is whether the Hyatt spa is textilfrei?!

• TGLoyalty says:

  I have a feeling this might be mutual. BA need everyone they can get and Iberia must have a route to getting staff in from somewhere else quickly (otherwise they are mad)

  Comair somewhat reminiscent of the former Deutsche BA set-up, perhaps?
