I have flights Feb/March. Hope BA don’t cancel them!

We actually wrote an article that answers just your question! https://hfp2022.headforpoints.blog/2021/04/01/can-i-earn-avios-and-ba-tier-points-if-i-fly-with-american-airlines-2/

If you want to reply to something specific you need to ‘quote’ not ‘reply’ (we are fixing this, though)

I took PCR tests within 3 weeks of having covid over the summer and everything was fine. I think the number of people that continue to test positive is probably miniscule, but the NHS website mentions it just in case.

Been like that for donkeys. No champagne either.

By the sounds of it not many people know about the ‘recent topics’ page, which is probably the easiest way to keep up with conversations across the board. Would it make more sense for the forum home page to have this versus the overall category view?

I think education is the missing factor here. I think forums may be quite new to many folks here, so perhaps a pinned topic introducing people to the forum, where to find certain things (annotated with screenshots), how to format their messages / add links / add images would be useful?

I’d gladly volunteer to do this myself over the weekend if there’s demand for it.

This is definitely on our list, especially how to set avatars etc. Feel free to draft something if you like and we can copy it into a topic.

Rob and I have also been brainstorming and have come up with an idea to have the forum home page tabbed so you can easily switch between the board view and recent topics view without reloading. This should also make ‘recent topics’ easier to see on mobile.

Sorry Rob/Rhys this doesn’t work for me at all as daily chat thread was easy to navigate and follow with up to date and largely interesting and entertaining reading. Now it is a mess with many fewer posts and very difficult to follow replies to posts. The alternative is laboriously looking at and trawling through disparate forum topics which just takes too much time and unattractive. You used to have about 500 posts a day on the daily chat – why try to fix something which wasn’t broken (at least for your readers)? I appreciate the hard work and effort that has obviously gone into this, but it just doesn’t work at least for me. If it stays like this I’m going to cancel my (non)-subscription(!)

Have you tried the ‘recent topics’ page linked in the forum menu? It gives you an overview for all recent posts across the entire forum, so it’s an easy way of keeping up with what’s happening.

I guess creating the chat thread is still not automated.

Apparently not (second!). Very trivial to do though.

If we decide to keep the chat thread long term we will automate it!

[Rhys]

Not sure about online – but I’m sure someone like Trailfinders would be able to do that for you.

[Rhys]

Valid point, will change.

BA have announced their Gatwick flights for next year, all fully bookable: https://hfp2022.headforpoints.blog/2021/12/14/british-airways-new-gatwick-routes-unveiled/

I can see the tears already, but I will protest this quote/reply mess and not participate in this daily chat anymore. It used to be so much fun for me, and look at the mess we are in now..

This is being fixed shortly, bear with us!

[Rhys]

Have you tried using the ‘recent topics’ page located in the forum menu that gives you a list of most recent posts by topic?

It’s $195! Not sure where you saw $1,775…

I’ve already said that we are merging the reply and quote buttons!

Check the ‘recent topics’ button in the top right forum menu!

[Rhys]

Not sure there’s a reason to have another forum but feel free to have an expat topic if you like 🙂

[Rhys]

There’s a few changes – we actually have an article running in a few days’ time. Bottom line – Boston, Chicago, Washington DC and Dallas will all see the A380s next year.

Hi Rhys

New account has been made with a different email

Thanks

Great, I’ve deleted the old one and moved your existing posts to the new one. I’ll go through and delete this conversation shortly so that you can continue with the thread’s original intention!

Use BA’s Chronomics link and the price reduces to £61.74 🙂 (No need to be flying BA)

[Edit: Was replying to earlier Chromonics post but my reply seems to have been positioned away from it]

You need to use the ‘quote’ button if you want to reply to someone.

[Rhys]

Doubt it. Your only options are:
– the usual Avios refund (minus £35 cancellation fee) which would refund your cash and Avios but means your 2-4-1 would expire
– get a future travel voucher that would wrap up the cash, avios and 2-4-1 for future use.

It’s unlikely you can mix and match, to be honest.

Surely exiting Singapore the only restrictions you care about are your destination’s country?

Vaccinated Travel Lanes are designed to make travelling to Singapore easier – I imagine Singapore is less bothered by how people leave the country!

I think you should have posted this under the BA section on here….

This was in reply to NorthernLass above….I hit her Reply, but my response has ended up down here for some reason !

This is normal. We’ve de-activated nesting in the forum.

In the next few days we will merge the ‘reply’ and ‘quote’ buttons so there is only one option – to quote a reply.

I’ll be back when this is working.

It is working – use the quote button if you want to respond to a particular person.

At least I can Edit.

What part of it isn’t working for you?
