Never risk a flight problem affecting work, do a risk assessment before booking.
If you want an argument, ask why you were not re-routed earlier.
If your flight was scheduled to be operated by an A380, BA know they go tech.

It’s Basel for Eurovision 25.

[Richie]

If your BA booking confirmation details the Iberia booking reference, you may be able to go into the booking at Iberia.com

[Richie]

What is the booking fare class?

[Richie]

What is the travel class, booking class and is it a one way or return fare for GBP 2000?

[Richie]

Some may want to avoid a rumoured Basel brush with the Eurovision song contest 2025.

@LD27 Trier is a great smaller Christmas market. Easy to get to from Luxembourg. BA CE fares to LUX can he great value for tier points.

[Richie]

@BBbetter BTW Hamburg’s Christmas market has a train for little ones which is very good.

[Richie]

I understood that if you book through Iberia express with an I2 flight number you may not get status recognition.

[Richie]

Do they want a cruise or to do their own thing island hopping?

[Richie]

Hiring the car at the departure airport won’t qualify for double TPs. Too many domestic flights may also be problematic.

[Richie]

You aren’t connecting and staying air side at LAX and your flights aren’t on the same booking, it seems your travel insurance would apply if the flight arriving at LAX is delayed.

I really like the Gustav Klimt Neue Galerie.

[Richie]

The current ts & cs do refer to flights ‘departing the UK’.

[Richie]

BACF already has a 6:55 am LCY-ZRH flight, it’ll be interesting to see if Helvetic/Swiss decide to bother competing with their quieter planes.

[Richie]

Looks like BACF’s E190s don’t qualify as quieter aircraft, but the A221 and E190-E2 do.

So seems this isn’t great news for BACF.

[Richie]

NEC sounds like somewhere nice.

[Richie]

Are BACF’s E190 aircraft quiet enough for the additional morning flights?

[Richie]

It is https://www.britishairways.com/content/executive-club/offers/holidays-double-tier-points

[Richie]

It has happened to me.
It is mainly due to plane swaps.
BAEF do swap in A321s for A320s and vice versa.

Article in the Guardian reporting fast train service in 1981 https://www.theguardian.com/world/from-the-archive-blog/2021/sep/15/france-high-speed-tgv-train-enters-service-1981

It’s a shame Mrs T’s government didn’t copy.

[Richie]

@roamering where have you booked the car?

[Richie]

Here’s a link to the calculator https://www.britishairways.com/travel/flight-calculator/public/en_gb

[Richie]

There’s a hearing on 17 October with a date of 1st November 24 as https://www.tescobank.com/transfer-scheme/ not sure if those dates are practical for you.

I would plan to cancel the credit card before November.

A J return to BSL or LUX may be cheaper.
