From Flight Radar 24.
The A380 used by Global Airlines today flew back to storage at Tarbes in the South of France.
Hello everyone,
I am going to travel for work from LHR to HKG on Cathay business. Where should I credit the flight for best chances of hitting one world sapphire?

That really depends on your future travel plans
Just checked in at the Crowne Plaza terminal 4. They tried to tell me that my room wasn’t ready. A little bit gobsmacked, especially when she then tried to tell me that it was because they’d given lots of people a late check out.
Anyway, after politely expressing my shock, another room was found. Am still pretty shocked that they could say that to anyone checking in at 7.45pm!

A hotel with 304 rooms tells a customer arriving at 19:45 that their room is not ready! Knowing you had a booking and were going to arrive, why did they not allocate you this other room anyway on arrival?
How many late check outs were there? You will never know.
Always worth checking on the website for availability, I do wonder sometimes.
Sometimes when guest X has been allocated room Y some individual staff members can’t see the wood for the trees.
I was once told my room wasn’t available yet, would I like a complimentary drink while I waited. I accepted and enjoyed a nice pint, then politely asked if there was another room available – which was promptly provided!
