Bit of praise for passport renewal process… Definitely under-promising (3 week current stated turn round time) and over-delivering at the moment.

I can’t believe the main Tier point changes thread has been shuttered.
We could have got to 4k @Rob! 🙃
LOL I think everyone who wanted to had, had their say and then some.
Thanks for everyones advice and support. We got to Schipol in time to check in for the flight we were booked on to CDG. I spoke with the KLM check in agent politely asking if there was any way she could find us a direct flight to BHX. After some taping of keys and phone calls she printed out 2 boarding passes and told us there was a direct flight to BHX in just over an hour and we are booked on it. I was pretty happy about this. However it turns out it was in fact the delayed flight we originally booked from AMS to BHX. Anyway, we got back to BHX without a lay over at CDG, which was all I wanted at that point.

That would be Dame Priti Patel. She was at the inauguration!
Received a suspicious message from someone purporting to be from the hotel where I’ve booked an upcoming trip, on Booking.com.
They contacted me on WhatsApp from a business account, but had my full name, hotel name, dates and even the exact amount due.
They claimed that because I’ve not provided my credit card number yet, my booking could be cancelled. The booking was “pay at property”, but could be believable to cover against no-shows.
Reached out to the hotel on booking.com, and they confirmed it was a scam.
I mentioned it to one of my colleagues, and he said he had received something similar in the past.
Just a warning to be vigilant, especially as the fraudsters somehow have access to booking details.
Quite a few such leaks happening.
Had the same issue for our prepaid stay at the SAii Laguna in Phuket. Wanted credit card and ID details in advance of arrival. Indicated that needed to be done in 24 hrs or our Reservation would be cancelled. Contacted hotel directly to double check reservation was ok. They even knew date of our arrival
