    Any recent experiences with TFS taxis? Will be arriving 8pm on a Friday, which looks like pretty much peak time. Is the queue at the rank likely to be ok, or am I better off prebooking an airport transfer?

    Everyone can form their own opinion as to whether 125K points is good value or not, but an extra 50K for a night in an unspecified hotel 50-60 minutes drive away???

    It is specified. Spark by Hilton Luton with circuit transfers.

    May be of value to some, as cash prices are expensive, especially grand stand!

    I used a taxi in January, very well organised and no queue, although this was at 1pm.

    Good morning from the Qantas lounge T3 where it is a sea of tranquility.
    I didn’t expect much from Radisson Red, but it was perfectly adequate. The bus stop almost opposite could not be more convenient allowing me to get a big red bus one stop to Heathrow Central. I almost shudder with pain when I see people outside the hotel waiting for the Hoppa.

    I don’t think anyone here has picked up on this previously, apologies if I missed it.

    One of the LGW 777’s with old CW seats is currently operating out of LHR, so just when you thought CS was a safe bet …

    Hi All,

    Travelling on our Miami/Orlando Trip on Wednesday. First long haul of the year!

    We are hiring a car through Avis, with regards to the toll roads how are charges for this settled.

    We have seen that you can pick up a SunPass from various retailers. However, what is the norm?

    I was expecting us to just be billed at the end of the care hire for the toll charges.

    Can anyone share some advice?

    Thanks in advance!
