We went to Ilulissat from KEF on a 28 seat Dash 8 in winter some years ago and it was the most amazing flight I've ever been on. It was more like a joy flight and I sat glued to the window the whole way. Once we reached Greenland we followed the Jakobshavn Glacier, which we eventually went...

I've recently flown MCT-CGK on an Oman Air 787 in J and the experience was great. The food was very similar to QR, and I'd even argue the mezze selection was better ;). The staff were attentive, the temperature was comfortable and the plane/toilets were clean and stayed that way throughout the...

Like most frequent flyers I've certainly encountered bad turbulence over the years, and yet nothing has ever compared with landing at Vagar airport on the Faroe Islands. The pilot announced they were expecting "several minutes of extreme turbulence." He should have added, "and you will be...

Security that doesn't require you to take anything out. Bliss!

On a recent trip we had to circle around London for ages due to storm activity. The view from above was pretty cool

I was there 3 times last week and the options were the same. The pastry was tough on the sausage rolls (filo?), they had little flavour and the quiche wasn't quiche. It was dried out frittata in pastry, unfortunately. I do really like the concept and hope they explore more/better options in the...

Getting a taxi at Doha airport is quick, cheap and easy. We’ve never encountered a driver that doesn’t speak English and they all take credit cards so no local currency required. We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental a few days ago and the trip was 15mins each way, though of course the time of day...

Outstandingly beautiful Faroe Islands

Or in my case recently where they called it breakfast at 9:00am and asked if I wanted Beef Ragout Pasta or Chicken Salad :rolleyes:

I just had 6 flights up and down the east coast over Easter - 3 each way. The meals were exactly the same on 4 flights (beef ragout pasta or chicken salad), including one leaving at 9am :(. The last beef ragout (BNE-MEL) was full of gristle and completely inedible. So disappointing. The chicken...

We use the Samsonite S'Cure Spinner range for many of the reasons you mentioned (hard shell, TSA approved, no zips, lightweight). They have an 81cm ~130 litre option that might work for you. It's amazingly strong and less than 5kg empty.

The jostling is the biggest issue. Sliding medicine into whatever spots are available has triggered all sorts of charges over the years. And some hotels jam so much in, you can't use the fridge at all yourself. They may as well not advertise the fridge as being a feature of the room. Recently...

Mini bar fridges that automatically charge when you touch something. You don't have to drink it - just touching it is enough.

As your friend has a few months up their sleeve, it might be worth writing to BA via the online complaint platform on their website. This is what I did as per this thread and it was all resolved. It's not the exact same scenario, but somewhat similar. Without going into too much detail, they...

And the biases of the people who code the AI tool/platform to start with. Add the information and its inherent biases on top, with a sprinkling of assertive arrogance (i.e. the results are presented as though they are fact), and many won't realise the output is wrong until they're affected...

I've done this several times and accepted the change via the MMB link in the email from Finnair. They then issue a new (Qantas) ticket - i.e the ticket number starts with 081. Sometimes I get an updated ticket/notification from Qantas too, sometimes I don't. I think it depends on the itinerary.

An update to close the loop on this one. After getting nowhere on the phone and through chat, I submitted a complaint on the BA website using the phrasing suggested by @MEL_Traveller. It's done the trick, and I've just received new tickets on the original flight. The BA support person was...

That's good to hear @docjames, thank you. This booking is directly with BA, though it does have my QF WP status noted. Still waiting for a response to my email (aside from the "dear smiliemonster" email asking me to confirm my name and email address :rolleyes:😂).

That's probably what will happen to me too!

No I used to, but let it lapse in favour of other programs. I do still have an BAEC account where I collect Avios. The logic (or lack thereof) behind the whole scenario is totally baffling.
