  O/T – Mandarin Oriental have finally launched their own loyalty program, and called it ‘Fans of MO’

  You can sign up using the link, below:

  https://www.mandarinoriental.com/fans-of-mo/benefits-enrolment

  The benefits seem to be quite decent, and presumably they are trying to get more people to book direct rather than through FHS, Amex etc.

  You get complimentary wifi, a welcome amenity, as well as:

  FANS WHO BOOK ONLINE MAY SELECT TWO ADDITIONAL PRIVILEGES SUCH AS:
  Early Check-in
  Start your stay a little earlier, from 12pm.

  Late Check-out
  Stay a little longer. We would be more than delighted to extend your stay with us until 4pm.

  Daily Breakfast
  We want to give you the best start to each day, therefore breakfast is on us.

  Dining or Spa Credit
  Indulge yourself with a credit towards a relaxing spa treatment or an innovative dining experience.

  Room Upgrade
  When you visit, we’ll do our very best to give you the best.

  Streaming WiFi
  Download, play games and stream as much as you wish.

  Celebratory Treat
  Let us help you make your celebration memorable.

  Pressing Services
  We’ll make sure you look sharp, with complimentary pressing or laundering of your favourite item.

  OT – BA LGW Lounge. I may well have missed this somewhere along the line, but when did the champagne become serve yourself? I’m here now and the member of staff looked at me in horror when I asked for some, not realising it was there for the taking!

    Months ago, bottles sitting in the coolers with the white wine. It’s an anomoly in the lounge network as everywhere else you have to ask for it.

      As recently as last March you still had to ask for it. This was in the new lounge already

  OT – Amex Platinum benefits.

  Trying to sign up my partner to the platinum benefits (SPG etc) but for the life of me I cant see where I can do this. When I log into the site and choose enrolment it only gives the option for me and not the additional cardholder. If I log in as the additional cardholder it defaults back to me again.

  Using Safari on Mac if this makes any difference.

    They’ve changed the system to make it more stupid. Your partner now needs to create their own Amex account for their supp card. Once this is done they can log in at americanexpress.co.uk/platinum and order their supp cards.

  OT but my father-in-law is still stuck on the tarmac at Manchester Airport when he should have taken off for a flight to Spain this morning. Will he be eligible for EU261 or does this count as an extraordinary event? Thanks.

  • Rob says:

    Weather, so he won’t get anything.

  Does anyone know how (or if I can) book a reward/Avios flight to arrive and depart from two distinct US cities/locations?

  It’s possible that I am being thick but I can’t see that this is doable via ba.com or Avios……

  Thanks

    You need to call. You could book it as 2 x one ways but the taxes (when flying to NA) cost more than a return.

  OT: The Mothership was due to fly with DY today EDI-OSL. Despite the airport being open the flight was cancelled. The aircraft was due in from New York Stewart, but that rotation yesterday & overnight last night was cancelled.
  Can DY deny EU261 compo?
  Does anyone know where on their site to claim it, as it’s not overly clear when I’ve had a poke around.

  • Rob says:

    I doubt it would be tough to blame it on the weather. Even if the airport was open flow would have been reduced I assume.
