This is today’s chat thread.
If you have specific questions about Avios, hotels or credit cards, please ask them in the appropriate forum and not here. This thread is a good place to post interesting deals you have spotted or your general thoughts on travel and all things miles and points. Thank you for contributing.
Good morning from the Intercontinental Bali Jimbaran where dress code is being enforced at breakfast in the club lounge.
A lady wearing a small ‘bra top’ (not familiar with female fashion) and hot pants was told to put some more clothes on. She argued that she was on her way to the gym after breakfast but fortunately the staff stood their ground.
Happy to see rules being enforced in countries where the staff are too scared of losing their jobs by telling guests to behave.
Overall an excellent hotel. Will leave a mini review as part of my feedback on my Indonesia trip in the appropriate master thread later in the week.
Morning, @Aston100 – btw, we DID end up in the Conrad Bangkok in the end! (convoluted story
to be included in a write-up). Very happy with it, too (as always, “…for our particular needs”).
And some flip-flops also just turned back from breakfast, so a win all round!
Just had a Flighty alert that my A380 (shudder) flight to SFO next week has been changed from an “A380-800 to an A380”. Is this some IT glitch or just a notification that I’m being moved onto a different (hopefully less shonky) model. G-XLE?

Glad to hear it.
I honestly thought the Conrad was really good.
Did you book with points?

BA only have one type of A380, for whatever reason it gets identified slightly differently when a specific aircraft is assigned.
