  Which lounges are currently open in terminal 1 lhr please? I have BA status

  • John says:

    8 Jul8 July 11:07

    None, as Terminal 1 hasn’t been open for 6 years

  • VickyTM says:

  Anyone stayed at Hilton Malta with 4 people in a room. Going with my OH and 2 adult teenagers in one room 😱. Will all four of us get access to executive lounge? I am Hilton Diamond…..will be a bit of a pain if only 2 at a time allowed but I know that is the official policy….

  • Igloo says:

    We did 3 in a room and found the room the be spacious enough for us. I don’t know about the lounge.

    • Tracy says:

      8 Jul8 July 14:02

      Thats good to know. Might be a bit of a squeeze with 4 but we will make it work 😂

  • David says:

    Are the teenagers vaccinated?

    • Tracy says:

      8 Jul8 July 13:59

      Yes, they are double jabbed. 2nd jabs were on Monday this week.

  • John says:

    They might ask you to pay a supplement, might depend on how many executive guests

  Third Amex supplementary card stolen, activated and used in the last 3 months.

  I believe I’ve figured out how they’re doing it. When activating it asks for the main cardholder year of birth. If you google my OH name you’ll find her in CompaniesHouse.gov.uk as a shareholder of my business. There you can see my date of birth…

  Obviously Amex need to beef their security up or at lest stop using publicly available information to activate cards.

  • KBuffett says:

    You’re probably right. But you have zero liability, so no bother. Ask them to courier you the card urgently.

  Quick question on Wimbledon – any idea if they’re still selling centre court returns on the ground? Can get my hands on No.1 court tickets for tomorrow but wondering if there’s any chance of getting into centre court when I’m there.

  • Alex says:

    Not this year.

  • Babyg says:

    tickets are popping up all the time on the official website… keep checking (whilst you are there ) you could ask the ticket office whilst you are there too

  Have a revenue club europe ticket booked from EDI to LHR on Sunday – I want to move it a bit earlier to make sure I am home for the final. The fare difference is very high, (was quoted £700, which is a bit of a joke). Am I right in thinking I can have a same change on the day for no fare difference as long as there is space? It is in ‘I’ class , but I’ve lost the ability to change the ticket online because there have been so many changes/vouchers/etc. The other solution clearly is to take a voucher for the cash ticket and book using avios, but seems a bit of a waste when the cash ticket was a good price.

  • Memesweeper says:

    Yes — I think all revenue CE fares are eligible for free same day change. You can call at 00:01 if you’re up late anyway.

    • Jack says:

      8 Jul8 July 13:14

      great thanks, I did speak to BA and they weren’t sure, basically said to try online on the day, but like I said I can’t change online. Just wanted to check that paying with a voucher wouldn’t mean I somehow lost that right.

  Shapps has just announced no self isolation requirement for returning travellers from Amber countries from 19th July!

  Pre-departure to UK and Day 2 tests still required.

  • ankomonkey says:

    This makes me very happy 🙂

  • Sean says:

    8 Jul8 July 11:44

    no isolation for under 18s either.

  • Richie says:

    8 Jul8 July 11:46

    Looks like I’ll have to use my back up flight to the UK on the 19th now.

  • r* says:

    8 Jul8 July 11:48

    Wording on the bbc is odd – “They will still have to take a pre-departure test three days before they go and a PCR test on or before day two.”

    Does the ‘pre-departure test three days before they go’ refer to the likes of qured which is done before flying back to uk or does ‘before they go’ refer to the outbound flight leaving uk?

    Basically, do I need to order a qured equivalent or not? 🙂

    • The Lord says:

      8 Jul8 July 11:51

      I read it as yes you do

    • Sean says:

      8 Jul8 July 11:58

      As the regulations are in relation to entry INTO the UK then it relates to testing in the 3 days pre-departure to the UK.

      Entry to other destinations from the UK subject to the destinations rules.

    • Rich says:

      8 Jul8 July 12:00

      They mean before a flight to the UK. On day of flight, or -1/2/3. Lateral flow.

  Anyone interested in Padstow Harbour hotel for July 17-20? I can transfer my booking if keen (pay at hotel)

• Jonathan says:

  No isolation for Amber if double jabbed from 19th July!
