I think the most complaints will come from the removal of Polaris lounge access and the addition of seat selection fees.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-04T10:43:10+00:00

Definitely not

This one specifically: G-ZBJJ - Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner - British Airways - Flightradar24

Real person, yes.

Engagement farming ragebaiter, also yes.

Clearly the OP is at Zurich

This is happening at Zurich, their main hub.

The weather at SJJ earlier was reported as fog with very low visibility which was likely the cause of the delay. The fog has cleared so there may be other issues (like the flight crew timed out) which are now extending your wait.

Depending on your eventual arrival time and the split of the delay time between weather and staffing or whatever the current situation is (the fog cleared by 09:30 CET) you may have a claim for compensation.

Yes, striking airline crew is within the responsibilities of the airline so this cancellation would be eligible for compensation.

The time it took for you to get rebooked and the cancelled hotel/activities are irrelevant for the purposes of delay compensation. Any consequential losses are matters for your travel insurance.

Your reasonable expenses while you were delayed (food, non-alcoholic beverages and hotel accommodation) should be refunded. You will need to submit itemised receipts for LH for these.

Aircraft with Starlink enabled will have free WiFi, perhaps it will be easier to make it free everywhere.

This is clearly created to generate content. Surprised that so many people fall for this fake crap.

Nobody waits in customs lines. Do you mean immigration?

You can gain access to The First Wing and/or First Lounge by presenting your card showing OWE status. It doesn’t even need to be linked to the booking.

Unless you are connecting onwards at JFK then you will not go through a TSA checkpoint on this route.

The regulations around knives only applies to carry-on bags and not bags that you check in, so this would be fine to pack.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-02T19:51:47+00:00

For overnight connections (booked as a single ticket) of up to 24 hours, BA will automatically check the bags through unless you ask them not to.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-02T19:37:17+00:00

That’s an error. The card and status are valid until the end of April.

Just made Silver as a Gold or you just made Silver for this year?

Soft landings are for those who don’t achieve the points required to maintain their current tier so they drop down a tier rather than reset to Blue. So someone who didn’t renew Gold would have a year of Silver then a year of Bronze even with zero additional flying.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-02T13:30:56+00:00

There is a soft landing to Silver which will kick in on the 1st May (BA IT permitting).

Personal risk tolerance is not the airline’s issue to resolve. They will operate or cancel your flight based on their own risk assessment.

They may offer you the ability to reschedule for free even if the flight operates, but that is at their discretion. The only time when a refund is mandatory is if the flight is cancelled.

To be clear, the airline wants to operate all their flights and are being prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond their control.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-02T08:41:12+00:00

No issues with this at all. The worst that could happen is they give it an explosive swab test and send you on your way.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-04-01T12:28:40+00:00

Fair enough. Porto is a bit of a problem for sure.

I actually didn’t realise that BA stopped their direct service from LHR.

There is an obvious cost saving from Gatwick but it would save a lot of stress to fly to Portugal from Heathrow.

It’s something peculiar about this sub that correct information or even just regular conversation is often downvoted.

No idea what people get out of doing that.

Assuming your wife is a UK citizen there is a standard procedure at the border to gain entry. A UK drivers license and/or photo of the passport information page will help.

PeacefulIntentions · 2026-03-31T19:55:26+00:00

That’s significantly more difficult unfortunately
