    I've just booked myself a return flight from LAX to LHR using the BA website. As SG, I've pre-selected my seat on the BA metal from LAX to LHR. I might be completely blind, but it appears that i cannot do the same on the return sector which is BA codeshare on AA metal. Is there a way I can...

    SYD - LAX - LHR mini status run, but who to choose from LAX to LHR : BA or AA?

    I'm toying with the idea of a mini status run by taking the long way round to the UK in November. At this stage I'm looking to route from SYD to LAX on QF, then skip across the pond to LHR with either AA or BA (all in whY or equivalent). Forgive my ignorance in all this, but i am trying to get...

    Upcoming flights - questions

    Andrew, I cant say much about you VA or United legs, but with QF on the way out you can check your baggage right through to LAX from BNE so no need to re-check, just make your way over to T1 via the transfer bus then pass through customs - probably no time for a visit to the lounges before...

    QF may pull out of LHR

    I must admit that i view this as more the usual hot-air O'Learyism we are getting used to seeing from esteemed Irishman acting as heads of Airlines rather than the truth. I can't imagine too many F, J or Y+ passengers who would want to fly into the UK for business being happy to add another 2-3...

    An AFFer committing sins - Europe on a budget

    Not sure if you are in London at all, but one of the best things i have done on my visits is to do a bike tour of London - lots of things that aren't in the guide book and a great way to experience just how small a city it really is for £18. http://www.biketoursoflondon.com/ The day i did it i...
