    Sorry network doesn’t show it when posted. Weirdly Wordpress normally rejects duplicates…I now hold the Wordpress record for 4 identical posts.

    Hopefully Rhys will be along soon and have the time to delete 3 of them.

    Anyone got a phone # for BA Hols pleaSe?

    • Anna says:

      Google says 0344 493 0787.
      I have got the new Jack Reacher today, which is much more satisfying than attempting any kind of interaction with BA!

        Lol
        Let me guess, he arrives on a bus with just a toothbrush in his pocket, stays in a motel, presses his clothes under the mattress, has a few fights to sort some baddies out, gets back on the bus and leaves?
        Not sure how it will work with a co-author and subsequently a replacement author, but I suppose given the plot never changes, anyone could write it.

  Hi, can someone remind me if you can refer yourself to an AMEX card?

  • Youllnever says:

    27 Oct27 October 12:29

    You can but you should’nt unless you’re fine risking your accounts being shut down by Amex.

  Quick question on marriot redemptions using points advanced option – this does guarantee the room right?

  • Young L says:

    27 Oct27 October 12:35

    Yes, the room, not the price.

• Ant says:

  Amex BA business – a few weeks ago i got an email from Amex offering 60,000 & first year £0 fee to take out the BA Business card. Which I did.
  is this invite linked to myself or can my OH use it as well and get same?

  Need some advice please from anyone who has travelled back from Spain in the last few days with family. I’ve completed the U.K. PLFs but the online documentation Iberia are requiring to be uploaded for each passenger includes proof of Covid testing for unvaccinated passengers – our 3 kids are under 18 and exempt as per the latest U.K. rules. I’ve therefore not uploaded any testing documentation but the mail from Iberia says “you have still not submitted all the required documentation”. Any ideas?

  • MariaJ says:

    27 Oct27 October 12:47

    No need to upload it. We just showed up a the airport and the check-in agent checked everything.

  • HBommie says:

    27 Oct27 October 13:03

    I have never uploaded any documentation to an airline. Just turned up with all the necessaries at check in.

  Can anyone recommend a nice restaurant in Vienna? Is there anything particularly interesting to go see/do after dinner?

  • Rhys says:

    27 Oct27 October 12:45

    Opera?

  • Gary says:

    Wiener schnitzel – https://www.figlmueller.at/en/

    Do & Co Hotel restaurant/ bar – food great, has direct view of St Stephen’s Cathedral

    Sofitel hotel- go for a drink as beautiful lighting/view. Food is so so.

    Loos Bar- Art deco, great atomsphere for drinks in the evening

    • Alex B says:

      27 Oct27 October 18:17

      Thanks, will try and book Do & Co looks nice. By after dinner entertainment I meant more 10pm than 7.30 (no clubs)

  • Phil W says:

    27 Oct27 October 13:32

    Not a restaurant but I highly recommend the 7Stern brauhaus. They brew their own beer on site, it and the food are delicious.

  • Elguiri says:

    There is a Mozart themed musical recital (at least there was about 5 years ago).

    The fairground (has some claim to fame) is probably more for before dinner but might be of interest.

  • JandeW says:

    The best Austrian restaurant in Vienna by a country mile is Plachutta, Wollzeile 38, 1010 Vienna. Not cheap but delicious…

  I thought i would never see the day but I have finally used up all my Lloyds vouchers.

  In non-surprising news to anyone yet to use their’s by Saturday, the waiting time can be lengthy to get through at the moment.

  • meta says:

    27 Oct27 October 12:55

    I got through within five minutes last week. Don’t be so sure you’ll use them in the end. BA can end up cancelling the flight…

    • Anna says:

      27 Oct27 October 13:07

      Surely you’d be entitled to re-routing in that case? My last Lloyds voucher is currently in it’s 3rd incarnation: BA cancelled my first trip to NCE, which I rebooked, then I cancelled it as I made different plans for last August and avios.com quite happily moved it to PRG next Easter for me!
