There’s a very good restaurant nearby. Altea is interesting. If you’ll need a taxi and have never used Cabify in Spain before, you could check if the avios promotion still works

[Richie]

I’ve studied this recently and my view is BA because the cabin is bigger with more rows with more choice of good seats. On AA you’re more likely to end up with a seat near the loo, or near bassinet positions. This applies to AA B77W aircraft which are operated on this route and BA B772 & W aircraft.

Will T8 have an A380 twin airbridge gate?

[Richie]

Try one ways through your Exec Club account on ba.com using the three letter airport codes.

[Richie]

I looked at a holiday that included LPA-MAD Iberia Express operated flights with BA flight numbers, wasn’t included in the offer.

[Richie]

If the delay was around 180 minutes and not 186 minutes or more, I wouldn’t bother. With the service failures argue for some Avios.

[Richie]

I don’t like the changing wind direction situation, so would check the reviews thoroughly.

[Richie]

I loved Cartagena, a roof top pool and bar would be really good, there’s a good number of options. Enjoy your trip.

[Richie]

I thought the Count to Christmas promotion was good, something similar for Shrove Tuesday/Carnival and Easter would also be good.

[Richie]

Pullman perhaps.

[Richie]

Try and call them at 8am on the dot.
If you are time rich you could have a read of the Civil Procedure Rules for the small claims track.

I’ve read that their new A350s have 14 or so UC seats instead of 44, which is concerning for rewards availability!

Virgin Atlantic’s website clarifies the seating variations which should allay your concerns.

[Richie]

Oman maybe.

[Richie]

There’s an Uber pick up zone at the airport, I arrived on AA on a domestic flight from Miami though.

[Richie]

If you’re east of Trafalgar square, perhaps not too far from an Elizabeth line station.

[Richie]

The Virgin website details the registration details of their A350s, just put the registration details into flightradar24 to see what the current flights are.

[Richie]

Have you been before Krys_k ?

A220’s please! If they’re even attempting to carry on competing in gatwick they’ll need to get ahead of Easyjet, its only a matter of time…

The amount of flight bookings they could gain just from the nicer experience. So too sensible for BA, oh well…

So Gatwick to have an all A220 fleet in the longer term, with no A320s and no B737 MAX?

[Richie]

Order A220 aircraft, acquire more A380s, retire B772s quicker, refurbish B788/9s and A380s with a ‘wider’ 2-4-2 separate economy seats with extra legroom. Order A351s with a premium configuration including First and wider 2-4-2 separate economy section as well as 3-3-3 standard economy.

The Manchester short-haul flights were operated by BA Cityflyer mainly because BACF can’t operate from LCY between lunchtime on Saturday to lunchtime on Sunday, it has a large fleet of aircraft, so this lack of utilisation of aircraft is significant. BACF currently have weekend flights from SOU for S22, but with Ryanair expanding at BOH, who knows how long flights from SOU will last.

[Richie]

Carnival in Spain with a flight and hotel deal, you could do four sectors via Madrid. Check Iberia.com as well.

[Richie]

If going for a shortish trip where you don’t really switch your body clock over to local time, I can see the daytime flight from JFK-LHR in F class could be very pleasant, depending on how time rich/poor you are.

This is a much more lovelier place than Flyertalk Lady London, please stay.

[Richie]

If you can’t book a cash fare LHR-MIA-RTB on BA.com, then it may be a BA.com problem and you may need to call.

[Richie]

I like walking along the South Bank, Borough Market and Bermondsey St restaurants, so it’d be Bankside for me.
