  That Finnair deal has been around for some time. I’m flying it on Monday (booked in October). You can make it open-jaw too (starting in BUD but returning to LHR, to save you the positioning, for £1250)…

  Yet another hotel misleadig people / giving the impression they’re located in City of London when they’re actually in Whitechapel.

    Bit of a walk to The Ned really, but if you don’t need to go much further west than Bishopsgate, the hotel choice in Whitechapel is good and you’d save a bit to spend at the Pan Pacific bar.

    As well as the Hyatt Place London City East, there’s the Ibis London City Shoreditch (which is much closer to the City than Shoreditch), the Clayton Hotel London City, The Corner London City within a few minutes walk – all are in Tower Hamlets and not the City

    If an archer could take you out from the ramparts of the old city walls, I’d say referencing City in the name is reasonable.

    Aldgate, as all scholars will know, was one of the main gates and a pretty impressive set-up in its heyday so you could definitely be skewered from its battlements.

      Petticoat Lane market is a great spot for lunch if you are working nearby.

    When I read the headline I though “London city” was a reference to LCY.

  Frustratingly, while Finnair does give free seat selection for oneworld Sapphire and Emerald in economy and business, they refuse to allow it for premium economy.

  Need too see some 125% + bonuses on Hilton points given devaluations and gutting of the 5k list.

  Naming of hotels is getting a bit like Ryanair…..think you’re flying to one city but could be landing a hundred miles away 😆

  • Rob says:

    Get a map out, look at where the hotel is and look at where the City starts – it’s 5 minutes walk.

    Ye olde Crowne Plaza The City is further from Liverpool St than the Hampton.

      But the Crowne Plaza The City was in the city. Although it’s not on Brick Lane it would be a more appropriate thing to name it after.

        Don’t think that would bring anyone in 🙂 The City eastwards boundary is Middlesex Street so you are literally 2 minutes walk from it.

        Oddly the westwards boundary is Chancery Lane tube station. This is blinkin’ miles away from everyone except Goldman Sachs!

  Cheers, I was wondering about that for the folks.

  A bit off piste I know but I would appreciate the advice. I purchased a Finnair ticket (ARN-PEK return) in 2020 for travel in April 2020. It was subsequently cancelled by Finnair due to COVID. I recently requested a refund of the ticket and Finnair has told me they cannot as the ticket has gone past ticket validity. Is this correct, I could not change it at the time and China remained closed. Now FInnair I can;t get a refund at all.. is this correct? TBH it has put me off buying Finnair tickets.

  • Rob says:

    31 Mar31 March 11:37

    Nonsense, I think. However, I am guessing you’d need to sue them in Sweden or Finland to get a refund – there is no UK element in the transaction.

    • John says:

      31 Mar31 March 11:56

      Thats what I though. The term they are quoting is:

      10.5 Right to refuse refund
      10.5.1 We may refuse a refund where application is made after the expiry of the validity of the Ticket.

      Seems very unreasonable at the very least given COVID and all its ramifications on country closure.

      • JDB says:

        It clearly is unreasonable, although they will say you have contributed to the problem by not seeking a refund or rerouting earlier. You need to have look at your booking confirmation, credit card statement and any other correspondence to see if it might be possible to claim this was a contract made in England; the routing itself shouldn’t matter. Also, see whether AY correctly advised you of your rights at the time of cancellation. Unfortunately, in the UK at least, AY doesn’t participate in any ADR scheme.

  Rob – does Hilton historically offer more than one bonus each year? As I only got 80% bonus it might be worth waiting to see if I get more (if) later I the year?

  • Rob says:

    31 Mar31 March 14:09

    Yes, I’d say at least 2/3rd of the year there is some bonus running.
