Priority club platinum, worthless???
19/01/12 | Forum post in reply to GarethForster1
2 years ago I was Platinum with IHG and was very satisfied, despite the occasional inconsistancy with upgrades/welcome drinks (these were rare). Now I am Gold, almost Platinum with A Club. What a difference. Never an upgrade (you have to ask and...

02/06/11 | New topic created
In summary - very poor given the competition from Europe to Dubai. I was traveling with my family connecting on the AMS-DXB service. It is a night flight and we were flying economy. We were boarded in the first group (because of the children and...

BA's new WT and WT+ cabins revealed
28/08/10 | Forum post in reply to Hippocampus

Which Business Class Should I Choose
20/02/10 | Forum post in reply to MadProfessor
I certainly would prefer Ethiad over Emirates anyday. Correct comment on variable service, very strange but terminal 3 in Dubai is very good and lounge facilities good.

BA to charge for seat selection.
25/09/09 | Forum post in reply to Airpocket
Well I think it is such a shame. BA were getting it together, with a great update of Club World, Terminal 5 and a good network. Now its all gone very wrong. Flying out og Gatwick in Euro Traveller is like Easyjet, lounges are tired, WTP is...
