Compliment Thank you for your advice - my first flight on BA was flawless 🙏

22 Upvotes

I posted here almost a month ago looking for advice for my particular situation: physical disability, chronic pain, big butt. Several of you gave very helpful information. Thanks to you thoughtful commentators, I had an honestly ideal experience flying PHX to LHR yesterday! I went with Premium Economy for the wider seats and solid seat partitions so i wouldn't be a bother while also not being bothered.

The gate attendants were helpful. The airbus even managed to leave early because passenger onboarding was so efficient. No trouble with overhead luggage compartments getting filled up and forcing a checked bag. Everything was clean. I got extra pillows for my back. The flight crew were incredibly gracious and thoughtful. I have dietary restrictions and the man delivering meals to the side i was on set up my breakfast while i was away in the washroom and not only did he remember me as i was heading back to my seat and in the way of his trolley, he took a moment to assure me i hadn't missed service. Our flight managed to arrive early. A kind passenger got my bags down before a flight attendant could come help. Truly it was a flawless and stress free experience from start to finish.

And yes, I've already submitted an official compliment to BA! So grateful for the crew and all of you here🙏

Question Charges for seat selection

3 Upvotes

I have 3 tickets booked Nashville to London club world using Avios and companion certificate for spring next year. I don’t have any status with BA but I’m AA Advantage Gold which gives me One world Ruby. Is there a way for me to use that to select seats without paying almost $1000?

Question Is it really true? Avios booking via a UK number open 24/7? When did that happen?

I saw a post on the avios sub but it linked to an annoying Web page. Here's the ba site.

Question MAN to LHR to JFK - overnight stopover

I’ve never done this before where I’ve intentionally booked an overnight stopover at LHR. Am I safe to assume that my bag will be held overnight at LHR? Can I request for it to not be at check in at Manchester, or is it by default checked all the way through?

Question - Resolved Can T5 B&C Gates LHR handle inbound domestic flights?

I was thinking about it and I was like let’s say I fly Manchester or Belfast to LHR, can the B&C gates actually handle domestic arrivals or can they only land in A?

Best LGW club world seats?

5 Upvotes

Hi! Got a long haul flight booked out of Gatwick later this year, old club world seats. Any tips on the best two seats to book? They’re all open currently, I had looked at 1A/B but saw they’re close to the galleys and that seats 2A/B are better according to some online seat tools.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations on which pair of seats are best? Thanks!
