Hello from 2E on BA294, with the lovely Veronica and Eileen looking after us, but getting a little bumpy now!
Chicago lived up to its reputation as the windy city, unfortunately it poured with rain too.
Spent a magical day in the Art Institute of Chicago – so many iconic paintings and wonderful artefacts; can highly recommend it – but possibly give The Cafe a swerve.
Park Hyatt was very polished, but the Hyatt Prive benefits were a little stingy; an indiscernible upgrade (booked a lake view, got a lake view but wouldn’t have seen it at all on a lower floor, breakfast credit limited to $60). Delightful staff throughout though.
With a less positive start to the day, hello from the waiting lounge at DOH, Gate A5, where QR11 DOH>LHR has gone tech and delayed from 01:10 departure to 06:00 departure (currently showing as – but still as “go to gate” with a local time of 6:01 as I type this, so I think not).
No meal vouchers etc offered although I am in business so had a couple of bites to eat etc. Whilst just hoping to be home some point soon, thoughts turn to compensation:
Qatar’s own people on the ground here don’t seem clued up although all say we are entitled to some sort of compensation. I can’t see us leaving for at least another hour here so flight delay is likely to be 5-6 hours. Does anyone have experience in this and know what we might be likely to be getting from Qatar/how to push for it?
Thanks.
@Mart16 – a QR flight from DOH to LHR isn’t eligible for compensation as it’s a flight from a third country on a third country carrier. That doesn’t change even if booked via BA or as a BA codeshare. I also wouldn’t expect to be offered meal vouchers if you have business lounge access which affords you food and refreshments. In view of the length and timing of the delay accommodation might have been considered.
