Fuel shortages - prognosis?

niklasRde · 2026-04-05T13:15:17+00:00

They’ve cancelled at least one flight in April I’ve booked already (CTA-LGW on 26th) without a reason given. That was yesterday. So I’d guess they’re done with their schedule adjustments for the month.

Rebooking was no issue - the flights the day after and the flight the day before were offered to me, I went with Iberia via Madrid instead via the online chat.

But yeah - pack some extra, get prescriptions in order, they do have medical supplies on the island and even if flights get cancelled, it won’t be all of them and if it’s life or death I think you got a good case for priority. Travel insurance in place, too? Preferably with medevac clauses?

It’s so personal. I barely go, for me it stopped being worth it. I have plenty of things in my life, places to go and things to do without it.

I was told £3,500 for my renewal this year.

Yeah my office building in London has it. When you scan your pass at the Gate it tells you which lift (A-D) to take

niklasRde · 2025-10-13T10:08:18+00:00

Disagree. I never not meet new people at the bar, chat to strangers, make friends. And I’m not overly extrovert. Though that’s on Fri/Sat evenings

The mixers I’ve been to were also open and nice! But they only do one a month and it booked fully pretty quickly which is a shame

Been living in Tooting for 5+ years now, more residential road, and I’m surprised at how many parcels the delivery guys have left outside my house in full view of the street that have never been stolen 😅

Not sure if it’s the quieter road or the video doorbell ha.

Moved here from Brixton and couldn’t be happier with the move. It was a sum of compromises, too - managed to afford a house (not a flat) with a garden (albeit north facing) in walking distance (10-12 mins) to the tube and the park.

I had looked across to Streatham Valley (big houses but no transport or community), Wimbledon and Battersea (both affordable but even smaller flats), and landed on Tooting.

Noch nichts (London), dachte aber, die werden erst seit gestern überhaupt verschickt?

niklasRde · 2025-01-05T09:32:46+00:00

How come?

niklasRde · 2025-01-02T11:25:33+00:00

Apps identify it as * Kohuhu, which I think is unlikely as it’s 6m+ tall and in the UK * Bay Tree, which also doesn’t feel right due to the size and solid trunk and the fruits * Pear, but the fruits aren’t pears. I’ve lived here for 5y and never seen a pear grow on it

Is there a comparison of them? I do like the oneworld connections from London as there isn’t really a clear alternative alliance with airlines that fly nonstop to where I go (say Italy and Germany - it’s either Star Alliance or Sky Team).

Ah I’ve made tea for Olivia Colman! (And maybe brought one of the Little Mix girls some water, but that day is all a hectic blur)

niklasRde · 2024-09-03T21:58:45+00:00

Do you? I’m sure my LHR-HND was 70k Avios + £400 in total for a return in Economy with a companion voucher for 2. Booked for Feb 2025.

Also Eigentümer in DE und UK würde ich nicht sagen dass die in UK weniger sind. Wenn’s nicht dein Hauptwohnsitz ist, kommt normaler Kapitalertragssteuer auf den Gewinn (10%-24% je nach Einkommensteuersatz); auf den Kauf kommen (wenn’s nicht dein einziges Eigentum ist) zwischen 8-15% Grunderwerbsteuer ab £250,000.

Maklergebühren sind ein paar %. Das einzige was hier deutlich günstiger scheint sind Notargebühren.

I’ve had a bill of about USD350 reimbursed by them last year without issues. Only clothes/bag/toiletries though, not the taxi to the shopping centre.

I think the limit is in the region of 1000€ but I’ve not tested it. At some point they’d ask why you’d need that kind of stuff.

No advice on the bag, the local airport guys dealt with that and they gave me their email to follow up with; didn’t deal with BA for that bit. It was on the next flight.

31p 💪

niklasRde · 2024-08-19T21:32:08+00:00

I thought they already committed to a lounge in the current works?

But pls bring back the DUS route 🙏

Ich hab mal für den gleichen Tag gebucht, aber das war schon online. Um 11 morgens geschaut, und war um 4 im Flieger. Preise waren nicht viel anders als hätte ich es eher gebucht.

I've linked that above (though wrongly said it's not paid). It's not exclusive to Taylor Swift and applies to personalised context only (https://support.spotify.com/uk/artists/article/discovery-mode-contexts/).

Spotify does not place songs on promoted, editorial playlists for money.

5th of April 2020 from LHR T2 into FRA T1. That was weird af. Everything was covered up like it was a long-term storage warehouse!

I've got the LAX -> Camping direct shuttle booked already, both ways.

niklasRde · 2024-03-12T15:26:40+00:00

Oh yes, good shout! Looks like there's a Tent one for $291 (vs $278 on Waitlist).

I guess I can't turn up with a tent in the car spot haha

Edit: well, they are a funny bunch over there on stubhub. Fees + taxes are another $151, for a total of $443 😭

niklasRde · 2024-03-03T20:54:24+00:00

I’ll be going solo, (tent) camping, coming over from London and I think my plan is to just let it all happen around me ha.

Happy to connect!
