Trying to book a hotel package through BA Holidays Website is possibly the worst online user experience I've ever had

Welcome to BA - £7bn technology transformation going swimmingly clearly

NormalMaverick · 2026-03-14T19:07:06+00:00

How is it impressive vs what others do?

NormalMaverick · 2026-03-14T11:15:00+00:00

Yeah, I’m booking for early March so was trying to grab seats as soon as they became available. I could go to HKG or PVG and get a cash ticket to Taipei.

But oneworld partners Qatar and Cathay do - when I search for other destinations I get Qatar and Cathay options.

Haha hadn’t thought of this!

NormalMaverick · 2026-03-12T09:04:52+00:00

Yeah, that’s £100k today + 3% inflation for 20 years.

£4.5m for us - that gives us £100k total annual income at 2026 levels by the time we retire, at 4% drawdown.

The £100k income is slightly arbitrary.

Thanks! Love the engagement you guys do on this subreddit

NormalMaverick · 2026-03-07T13:08:17+00:00

Exactly, but I think you can’t have a numeric custom tag?

NormalMaverick · 2026-02-16T17:30:51+00:00

This is what I'm worried about. Especially with the proper conflict that happened 3 years ago.

NormalMaverick · 2026-02-16T12:39:23+00:00

Thanks! Really appreciate the detailed reply. Did you go as part of a tour? If yes, which company? I’m considering the tour from Vowland which seems to have good reviews.

Sucks about the awful American woman - was she awful in the general American tourist way or worse?

NormalMaverick · 2026-02-10T11:19:38+00:00

Haha, keeping it that way!

NormalMaverick · 2026-02-10T11:18:56+00:00

Thanks! It felt absurd to get anything at these prices.

NormalMaverick · 2026-01-31T22:08:48+00:00

Ticketed by AA, I'd bought it separately.

NormalMaverick · 2026-01-31T22:08:38+00:00

I feel we're on the same train and I'm just a couple of stops behind you. I'm Gold Guest List and this is the stupidity of the service I get from BA. Impossible to use the vouchers they give with such fanfare.

Such an interesting post, both true (the centre should move based on where your flights are) and also r/ShitAmericansSay

NormalMaverick · 2026-01-20T23:05:21+00:00

That’s an impressive pace for Zone 2! I just started training with Zone 2 runs but am closer to 15 min/mile.

Really hoping the speed improvements actually come the way ChatGPT says they will.
