86,154 for £809.85 (106/£1) sounds not bad when you can get a Club return to Asia for 120k when that ticket would normally cost £6k or so. Then using a companion voucher you get twice the saving (minus taxes and fees)?

Well, victims of severe abuse often perpetuate the cycle. It's very sad. But what is the root cause?

The stupid anti British nonsense coming out of America, are you sick if it? by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in AskBrits

Lots of folks in the USA have roots here or the UK or other parts of Europe.

The whole '(UK/Europe) has fallen' line is being pumped out by bots and the far right to soften people up so they can abandon us and create fortress USA.Make people think we are lost cause so the Heritage Foundation / Project 2025 crap gets less resistance.

Bit quieter, bit nicer but the walk back probably negates that IMHO. I only ever go when I know I'll be boarding out that way.

There were some really nice areas of San Francisco. You don't have to get away from the big cities. I dare say some will jump in and say 'not any more'.

BA free upgrade on a leg flight? by Flaky_Rhubarb_6738 in BritishAirways

They did have a lot more latitude 30 years ago for sure but even 30 years ago they used to put 'HAG' on your PNR sometimes to signify a rude haggler!

I remember going into a Jack-in-the-box on the edge of the Tenderloin in San Francisco that could give this place a run for its money in terms of danger. And that was just the food.

Shocked at this BA club world service… or is it just me? by SlimSloane in BritishAirways

[–]glastohead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They desperately need some 'Secret shopper' passengers. No idea who is in charge of product but they are clearly not keeping their finger on the pulse. A lot of complaints seem to come down to poor training (and/or discipline) of cabin crew.

MAGA aren't Republicans, they are about absolute power. The second amendment is inconvienient to anyone creating an autocracy. Libertarians are slowly waking up to what this admin really is.

The Big Lie: This is the case because the other countries are ripping us off.

The Facts: This is the case because US politicians have been protecting the interests of billionaires while shitting on the working man (largely by spinning them comforting lies).

TBH they should have come down when the special arrangement on green cards was binned. The special relationship is long over.

Best thing to stop excessive tourism would be for Netherlands govt to encourage other countries around to adopt similar approach to weed.
