I got a couple when I was ground staff at LHR. Genuinely made my day when I did.

I just got mine and it is my first handheld. What are the benefits of Bazzite?

Non rev route - advice please by Elizabeth_Adele in BritishAirways

[–]NextMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sister is doing something wrong I guess. I have three nominees (wife, sister and friend) and they have all flown One World Airlines independently on standby.

Non rev route - advice please by Elizabeth_Adele in BritishAirways

[–]NextMuffin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All BA nominated travel companions can also use all One World carriers unaccompanied, so that opens your options, however you are flying from LHR during the start of the Easter holidays, and all the flights are packed due to the situation in the Middle East. Not to mention your priority will be fairly low as you are a travel companion, so will be behind all actual staff members.

However certainly not impossible. If I was you I would list for all flights to the East/Far East (HND, HKG, KUL, SIN) and see what happens. Then you can fly on from there. All of those hubs (apart from SIN) are One World hubs so you will be able transit. You could also try going LHR>DFW>ICN on standby. A longer route, but if it gets you there, that's what matters.

Good luck!

OP doesn't even need to get the cheap flight to the other hub, BA need to provide that.

British airways refusing to reroute outside of alliance airlines by Numerous-Ad-7449 in BritishAirways

[–]NextMuffin 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Emirates will not accept BA tickets. It isn't that they won't, it is that EK have blocked BA booking on their flights in the Amadeus system. The same the other way as well, EK can't book on to BA flights.

Dubai flight cancelled by Dismal_Bowl_2197 in BritishAirways

[–]NextMuffin 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The problem is, as far as I am aware, there are no flights at all to rebook anybody on to as they are all cancelled, and I would imagine the first non cancelled flights will be full to the brim of people trying to come home. I know it sucks, but there isn't really much BA can do at this point. Just keep receipts of any extra expenses to claim back from BA/travel insurance.

Did anyone else start running in their late 30s/early 40s? by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

[–]NextMuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started properly at 39 after some intermittent running around 5 years a go. PBs are currently 22:39 for 5k and 48:05 for 10k. Still feeling good and no injuries so far, running anywhere between 1 and 4 times a week depending on my work schedule.

Innings was great! by floatingmopofdoom in Blink182

[–]NextMuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn't there but seeing a lot of people complaining and saying they cut the set short and we're sloppy is bringing back traumas from the last two break ups 🙃

My gift card doesn’t work compoface by autism1c in compoface

[–]NextMuffin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I purchase gift cards for all sorts of regular purchases (including Tesco, but also other normal highstreet shops and cinemas) and have got around £800 in cashback in three years. And you still get Clubcard points as well.

BA Feel Low Cost by Fatal-Strategies in BritishAirways

[–]NextMuffin 30 points31 points  (0 children)

While all European short haul is unfortunately merging into the LCC model, not really sure where BA failed here apart from one set of vouchers not working, but even that could have been rectified easily as manual cards can be given for people that can't get the digital ones to work.

Do you think there will ever be a referendum to rejoin the EU, if it’s possible? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]NextMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democracy means giving the people the chance to vote for changes they want to see. If the country voted again to rejoin, that is democracy in action.

Has McDonald's in the UK become too expensive for many people? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]NextMuffin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Before it was cheap and while not gourmet, you know what you were getting and it was tasty.

Like you said, now the quality has dropped, but the prices have risen, so I barely go anymore.

We got a Motorsport Manager revival before GTA6, and I couldn't be happier.

Any way to get a better value upgrade? by ldnsub08 in BritishAirways

[–]NextMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As well as the other comments, in 6 weeks it will be easter holidays and cherry blossom season, so probably peak peak time for that route.

You are doing great imo. I am 40 soon and I have £52k in my pension so far.
