  Anyone used Eurofins for Day 2 test? Coming up as one of the cheapest at £20 if doing drive through, but seems lot cheaper than the others which make me dubious…

  • TGLoyalty says:

    Sounds perfect if you live near one of their drive through locations.

  • MM says:

    15 Sep15 September 21:58

    warrington is the only £20 drive through.

  • Tracy says:

    15 Sep15 September 22:13

    Yes, used Livingston drive thru twice, no issues, all very easy and results next day

  Whereabouts is that? I am looking at Shops Away and can’t see ANY record of my Mozzers uses.

  I guess I’m not looking in the same place as there is no chat agent in Shops Away

  Whereabouts is that? I am looking at SA and can’t see ANY record of my Mozzers uses.

  I guess I’m not looking in the same place as there is no chat agent in SA

    It’s not sh0ps away. It’s on your desktop amex under the offers section.

    It’s not showing for me from the 1st. I’ll call again and get them to raise it as a ticket.

    • Andrew H says:

      Ah ok – I didn’t get a Mozzers Amex offer.

  Is there a website that i can see all flights that are scheduled to depart from BFS (late Octber). I know that flightradar24.com will give me a few days in advance – but i was hoping for maybe 2 weeks or more

  • bill says:

    15 Sep15 September 16:25

    just to add, I know skyscanner will do a list of countries on a specific date. but i was hoping for a single list ordered by departure time

    • bill says:

      15 Sep15 September 17:17

      I’ve manually compiled a list from Skyscanner

      • Sam G says:

        expertflyer would do this with a subscription

        • Bill says:

          Ok cheers

  Earning on IB.

  According to BA TP calculator, MAD-PMI earns 20 TP in J, but BCN-PMI earns 40TP. Is this correct, even though MAD-PMI is longer?

  • Super Secret Stuff says:

    15 Sep15 September 17:14

    Probably to do with IB Express Vs IB regular?

    • Sam G says:

      15 Sep15 September 17:45

      I don’t think there are any flights with IB J out of BCN except to MAD, only Vueling codeshare, so the data is probably wrong. You’d get 40TPs flying BCN-MAD-PMI if you wanted to!

      • Rich says:

        15 Sep15 September 18:19

        Ah. That might explain it. They can offer as many TPs s they want if it’s just theoretical!

    • Rich says:

      15 Sep15 September 18:16

      Possibly, although the calculator didn’t distinguish between IB and express.

  BA have changed my flight times to St Lucia in November (more than 4 hours) and have cancelled my flight to Jamaica in February and booked me on a flight a day earlier. Both are avios bookings. What are my rights re accepting the changes? Thanks

  • FatherOfFour says:

    15 Sep15 September 17:06

    My Grenada (tag on from St Lucia) cancelled.

  • ChrisC says:

    15 Sep15 September 17:16

    Full refund for both if that’s what you want or rebook to other alternative dates.

    When BA cancel a flight they auto rebook yo onto the closest flight in case you want to travel. You aren’t forced to accept their suggestion.

    • Tazzy says:

      15 Sep15 September 17:43

      Is there a timescale that I have to accept this by?

      • Sam G says:

        15 Sep15 September 17:45

        No. you can just leave it until nearer the time to make your decision

      • Ikaz says:

        15 Sep15 September 18:38

        As long as your first flight has been cancelled, you can wait until after the original dates. I have cancelled flights for last week still to be rebooked once next year’s flights are on sale. no guarantee that BA keeps its rebooking rules though

  I know that the University Arms in Cambridge is generally well regarded. I had a nice three night stay mid August but have just noticed the Parker’s Tavern Restaurant is currently closed for lunch, although remains open for lunch and dinner. Very disappointing although I guess a sign of staff shortages. Does anyone have any further insights?

  • Chris says:

    15 Sep15 September 18:55

    Did you mean closed for Breakfast?

    • David says:

      15 Sep15 September 19:07

      It’s closed for lunch but open for lunch. Interesting.

      • MisterE says:

        15 Sep15 September 19:28

        Mea culpa – of course, I meant closed for lunch but open for breakfast & dinner. It was previously open for lunch in mid-August

        • Eoc says:

          Another Brexit bonanza

        • Luke says:

          15 Sep15 September 22:59

          A lot of competition. Fewer tourists. No staff. Like everywhere really

  • TGLoyalty says:

    16 Sep16 September 00:19

    Probably not enough demand for lunch to cover overheads?

• John says:

  Airtime just took money off my balance for a refunded item, before the original transaction had credited.
