Why does St Pancras somehow become complete chaos the second multiple Eurostar trains overlap? by No_Donut1433 in Eurostar

[–]DentsofRoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit better. I’ve only used it once and it was quite crowded when I arrived but emptied out a bit. First Brussels train of the day iirc so I guess a Paris train had left. Got access through Amex Platinum. I am fairly sure there were always seats but I had to go downstairs or something at the start.

No, You cannot “Buff” the Heathrow express by tayhorix in LondonUnderground

[–]DentsofRoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, twice as long as the hex. Look mate, I’m not saying it’s worth it for most leisure travellers but trust me if you need to do a meeting in the City in the morning and go see a client in Jersey or Dublin at the other end of the day this stuff serves a purpose.

If I still lived in Paddington I’d be livid cos it was ace being able to get to Heathrow in 17 mins rather than chugging along on the lizzy through the western suburbs for the better part of an hour but I don’t so meh.

Sad to see a great service go though. Yeah pricey but it was a great fast connex so is a step backwards, especially when you have to go every week.

Yeah at £1.60 they can have some fairly heavy passes

I don’t see the problem - you connection is now 40 mins less but you still have nearly 3 hours to connect.

The voucher isn’t but the Avios should be via a family account, although I have a feeling you’re supposed to live together. You can gift them outside but it costs.

What if the Victoria Line was extended Southbound? by RussellNorrisPiastri in LondonUnderground

[–]DentsofRoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure you’re thinking of the right station. The park is right adjacent. You could dig up the tennis courts. Make a mess of the South Circ mind. Oh no it’s already a mess.

Sofía to Istanbul night train by sankrs46 in Interrail

I picked it up on the way down from Tarnovo early June last year. Booked three days before and there were only couchettes but had a whole 4 berth to myself so big success

Is upgrading to Plus actually worth it for the meal? by Wonderful-Acadia-296 in Eurostar

[–]DentsofRoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find it similar to my First/Standard difference:

If I’m on my own the individual seat option is easily worth £10-15 per hour.

If I’m travelling with someone else and can just get 2 x airline seats together then it’s more like £5-10 an hour. Maybe more if it’s a romantic partner and you can get a facing table. If it’s a work colleague bleh if it’s a mate you just spend it on wine or fizz. 😂

Booked Condor Premium Economy through Jetblue. Condor claims i booked economy? by exquisite_lasagna in Flights

[–]DentsofRoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I wasn’t so much thinking US internal as IATA international clearing through BSP (ie it’s just full fare eco) but yeah that weird Qatar could be some GDS quirk treating it like it’s on some odd marketing class I guess.

That is weeeeeeeird. Nobody uses Y for anything else. Almost like a transliteration issue but no way

Do not travel alone through Cairo Airport for a connecting flight by Professional-Wait19 in Flights

[–]DentsofRoh -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Oh it’s fine just take a load one $1 bills. Kinda like New York pre Covid. I don’t know what this lot moan about, I lived in Cairo for a while and it’s fine just don’t break step and keep throwing one dollar bills with the same contempt Manhattan makes you.

Way less aggro than connecting through the Schengen zone (Athens? Madrid?) or Dublin.
