  • Rob says:

    The 2nd night is free, which can work in your favour or against it.

  US travel:
  Hopefully someone can help:
  do <18 y/o need a test on days 3-5 after arrival if they are not-vaccinated and travelling with adults (in this case vaccinated)? Where can I find the answer to this question?

  • BLT says:

    5 Nov5 November 16:59

    That would appear to be the situation at present as set out in the latest attestation form from the CDC. I gues we will find out next week how they will monitor/ record the 3-5 day test.

  • Rhys says:

    Someone didn’t read our article on it very closely 😉 Children are treated the same way as their parents, so if you’re double vaccinated then your child is treated as such too, even if they aren’t. https://hfp2022.headforpoints.blog/2021/10/25/travel-vaccination-entry-rules-united-states-8th-november/

    • BLT says:

      Rhys – Not sure that is now up to date. The attestation form on the CDC website has been updated and under >2<18 will be treated same as adult but will need 3-5 day test. This is what you have to agree to on the attestation form. We will find out next week and then someone may have to update their article! 😉

  Has anyone travelled to St Lucia lately? Does it have to be a PCR at a covid fest centre or can we do an at home randox PCR? Thanks

  No more plastic…..just received my Digital FB card…bit of a shame after all these years, but understandable. Messes up my collection…was looking to frame in a couple of years time to hang up in the toilet .
  I guess BA and others will follow suit.

  • SteveJ says:

  BA CS mentioned a Sale is coming in January.
  Seems to be a sale every quarter now.

  • Rhys says:

    5 Nov5 November 17:16

    Boxing Day sales have existed since time immemorial!

    • Cranzle says:

      5 Nov5 November 19:26

• ianM says:

  I see people talking about a chat facility on BA.com – can anyone tell me where it’s located I can’t find it. TIA

  • Richie says:

    5 Nov5 November 17:47

    Go to ba.com on a mobile device, then go to help and contacts at bottom, click there and it should pop up.

    • ianM says:

      Thanks will try but i’m trying to get thru to them on phone right now LOL.

      How long should it take for a FTV to be confirmed? I spoke to BA on Tuesday and used a FTV with avios element for the same flight the voucher was from at end of month to ATL – she said it had to go to head office because it had been a part flown booking, she said it would be confirmed within 72 hours….it hasn’t now I need to go through the rigmarole all over again.

      • Graham C says:

        5 Nov5 November 18:12

        We were confirmed in a day. Expired two for one voucher within a FTV. Had to pay extra taxes.

        I did phone YouFirst though as it was a First redemption. Not sure if that helped the whole situation.
