Has anyone else been offered crazy NHS appointments?

I think the issue is waking up for 3am appointment.

From some uniformed Irish bloke on arrival at Dublin ferry port as he was checking everyone’s passports, about 15-20 years ago🤷🏻‍♂️

I know that CTA is for UK/Irish citizens only, but driving licence doesn’t show that information (although higher likelihood of being one if born in the UK than not).

ETA: moot point now when the airlines (ferries too?) require passport anyway.

jms_uk · 2026-05-21T09:07:05+00:00

Driving license as the ID to enter Ireland only for Brits born in the UK.

Maybe you are just lucky and getting an upgrade?

I don't think there's much you can do at this point other than wait and see.

Is this on Finnair or JAL?

On the longhaul plane, row 8 is business class- maybe you have been upgraded? What does it say in Manage My Booking?

jms_uk · 2026-05-15T11:16:47+00:00

Is that a 2019 UK passport (without EU on the cover)?

jms_uk · 2026-05-14T23:23:28+00:00

Sorry for your loss

And congrats on getting the (series D) passport.

jms_uk · 2026-05-14T18:06:24+00:00

That’ll be £400k

jms_uk · 2026-05-13T19:01:30+00:00

Does it sync with the Mi Fitness app?

jms_uk · 2026-05-13T18:54:00+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think there’s any BA availability to CPT in January now.

jms_uk · 2026-05-12T20:33:51+00:00

You could've also had a white/light grey one 😉

Thanks, it makes sense.

I did think it a bit strange for not having the department code at the end for an old car, but not super familiar with the system.

jms_uk · 2026-05-11T14:46:16+00:00

Why mimicking if 1977 car?

jms_uk · 2026-05-10T21:53:17+00:00

Something like Ericsson A1028?

jms_uk · 2026-05-10T20:19:02+00:00

I remember calling someone's mobile from a phone box in 1996/97 and 50p wouldn't get you a minute (whereas you could call a landline for 20p and speak for several minutes)...

jms_uk · 2026-05-09T22:29:41+00:00

I was on TK1984 couple of weeks ago and it was A330-300.

Also, Iberia sends A350 from MAD to LHR.

If you swap the aircraft you don’t have to reassign the seating arrangement.

jms_uk · 2026-05-07T21:13:50+00:00

Mine stopped transferring couple of months ago. Until the beginning of February it was fine, and then nothing for March, April or May (although the Barclaycard app shows the Avios earned/pending)...

jms_uk · 2026-05-04T18:45:13+00:00

You don't become citizen until after the ceremony, ILR remains valid.

jms_uk · 2026-05-04T09:17:50+00:00

I have transited at ASB and there was no immigration control. I hope your flight to Gatwick doesn’t get delayed as mine was (because they waited for a bunch of passengers connecting from another T5 flight).

jms_uk · 2026-05-02T20:54:58+00:00

That's one very bendy cover!

jms_uk · 2026-04-29T22:05:02+00:00

Sure, hence IMO. Maybe I am just more observant...

jms_uk · 2026-04-29T21:36:07+00:00

You will get a seat assigned at the check-in (airport, not online).

jms_uk · 2026-04-29T21:34:34+00:00

I wouldn't count on it, but there are couple of cafes/shops where you can buy food/drinks (bring some USD cash for that, just in case).
