  Pity about the Larnaca lounge closing, it wasn’t all that, but probably not a the best named lounge for present times.

    Checking the Larnaca Airport website which states the following:
    “Aspire Aphrodite Executive lounge *currently closed for renovation, expected to reopen 1st May 2024”

  I don’t think I’m ever going to get used to the formatting of the image above the subtitle.

    Huh? 🤔

      The photo for eg Larnaca lounge article looks like it belongs to the Harvey Nichols article above, because they get placed before the title

  Gutted to hear about the Larnaca airport closure. I am due to fly out next weekend and as I don’t travel business often, almost ever, I was looking forward to the novelty. Any idea if the other lounges would be accepting passengers who would have been eligible for the Aspire lounge? Thank you

    Otherwise there’s only the Aegean lounge and it’s not big and often full of their own passengers and other Star Alliance passengers so I doubt they will be offering any access.

  No mention of Avianca, which is the national carrier of Colombia, and unlike LATAM is a StarAlliance partner (for those of us that have a greater allegiance and mile accumulation to that vs OneWorld).
  They do have crazy prices for business class though..

  Yeah, without a 241 it’s 85k + £150, so it’s slightly better value to use points on Iberia if you value them at 1p but there’s not much in it. Use the points for something else and the novelty of flying Latam is also to be considered

  “ Rhys has literally just reappeared in the HfP office after a trip to Bogota in Colombia, trying out the new Iberia A350 business class seat. This review, and a Four Seasons hotel review, will follow in a couple of weeks.”

  I’m available to swap lives if Rhys ever becomes exhausted from the punishments of luxury travel!

    Do you really want to fly to Bogota, via Madrid, over a weekend for 48 hours?

    • Gordon says:

      I have trouble adjusting on a long haul flight flight these days, I allow a couple of days to get over it, But Rhys is still young and keen….

      Did it in less when I was working with a customer in Bogota…30 hours on the ground

    • John says:

      Yes. No children, happy to help out.

      • Jim Utd says:

        I second this!

      • John says:

        25 Jan25 January 22:41

        I would because I have a child! The longest I can go away by myself is around 48 hours

  Just a heads-up that crediting LATAM flights to BA can be extremely painful – in my case involved multiple phone calls to BA and LATAM, and took half a year. Basically BA says they can’t see the fare class, so they can’t credit the miles. They don’t have access to LA systems so can’t look it up. And LA does not include the fare class anywhere. Nothing on the boarding pass, in the email confirmation etc. When you call LA, they don’t really understand why you need it and can’t give it to you.

  • James17uk says:

    Agree – but actually they are a nightmare to credit to most other airlines including Iberia, who said the same thing as LA are very difficult in publicising their fare codes.
