Just called the velocity serivice centre and apparently they don't open up seats for award flights?

I did love the SIN lounge back in July when I was on BA16.

This is what the concept of "coughpit Resource Management" is for. Some, uhh, asian airlines have been noted for having a bad culture on the flight deck. (Due to most of the crew being ex military and following command from rank). However, from what I have seen, QF is fantastic in this regard...

Yeah I was going to buy one on arrival in MXP.

Thankyou for re-affirming my faith in the forum. As OP is going to be in Italy and is mainly after data, an Italian sim would seem the way to go. Travel Sim's have always seemed to be overly priced gimics. They are cheap if you are spending 2 days in ten different countries... But apart from...

01/07 - LHR T5 19/07 - FCO - LHR, LHR - DXB (LHR T3, on EK Metal). 20/07 - DXB -SYD

Unfortunately I'll just be visiting the J lounge in T5 then off to MXP.
