A quick look at our trip over to Miami with British Airways, upstairs in the A380 with our two children. We managed to reduce costs significantly by departing from DUB. We came back on an overnight flight with Iberia via Madrid. Their lie flat on the A330 was really quite good and the crew we also fantastic. I've always had a fondness for the old CW seat and it certainly did not let us down on ...

Here we take a look at the return trip, although I fly back into DXB rather than AUH due to some flight disruptions. It works for me as I'm able to change my return positioning flight to leave from DXB and the timings are better. Included here are the Sapphire Plaza Premium Lounge at CGK and the two flights that ultimately get me to DXB.

      My CMB to DXB ended up being my best flight of the 4 so hope you make it. Likely to be a short distance between the gates and I had a welcoming party showing me where to go so you should be ok. Don’t take checked luggage of course. I’d still have a contingency up your sleeve. I had one eye on the LHR flight. Lastly, make sure you keep all boarding passes and etkts etc. - I’m still battling with BA for my outbound TPs.

    Before covid, they were giving out champagne in an actual glass cup? Sounds like a safety concern in the event of turbulence/clumsy customers. Personally, I'm happy with plastic. Especially knowing other peoples lips havent been on it, because i dont trust that employees would effectively wash the cups lol.

    • @gazzis
      @gazzis 5 месяцев назад

      Do you take your own cutlery to restaurants? I think you have to trust the business to wash their dining equipment. Glass gives a more premium feel in my opinion. If this is a US rule then that’s different.

      If you have access to the CR then go to the CR I would say. But if you only have time for a shower then Bs are fine.

If you use train to go from C to main then I understand you pop up the wrong side of security. Sorry for slow reply! Need to sort my notifications!
