    I’ve been monitoring reward seat trends to the US for Disney in 2 years – hatching a plan.
    Interestingly, there are 6+ (probably 9) reward seats available on 13/8 to Orlando which weren’t there yesterday.
    Genuine availability as also on ba.com.
    On closer inspection it looks like they are borrowing a club suite equipped plane from Heathruw this day (preplanned maintenance I guess) which means they have a much larger business cabin to fill. Guessing a higher chance if it being swapped back to old CW and being downgraded, but if you’d be happy with the downgrade comp, this might be a good opportunity fir a larger family/group

    I think you still need a Chinese driving licence.

    Currently in T5B BA galleries lounge – nice and quiet and we can relax until our 22:25 CW flight to CPT. Thanks @Northernlass and others for the advice.

    Is it a 777-300? There was a thread on FlyerTalk earlier this week when someone reported overhearing gossip on train about one moving to LGW.

    No, economy only goes back to row 44 and no F cabin so must be a 77L according to Aerolopa

    I notice the Mandarin Oriental App is available.
    There are some changes to its programme also, noticeably it’s only breakfast for one now as a benefit.

    Don’t think it’s for the better from what I’ve just seen. I don’t stay at MO”s often but if I were to stay, I think I”d certainly be booking through an agent on this one.
