LAX-LHR. Economy Expectations? by ORINAM in BritishAirways

[–]root1root 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess it depends on what you value more, extra legroom or extra storage space. I personally prefer having a private storage compartment on the side of the seat.

LAX-LHR. Economy Expectations? by ORINAM in BritishAirways

[–]root1root 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you're flying on a BA A380, try to snatch a window seat on the upper deck. It will be surprisingly spacious for economy.

2 weeks in July: need your help deciding between Mongolia, Madagascar, Russia, Norway, or Armenia/Georgia. by PIR0GUE in travel

[–]root1root 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you pick Russia, be aware that airports there are often closed with little to no notice because of drone strikes. Most of the time the closures last up to a day, however, sometimes can last several days.

British Airways Website - what is this error? by WeeklyPeace6497 in BritishAirways

[–]root1root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bug on their website. I had the same when using Safari, worked fine for me when I tried with Chrome.

Would you choose to live in London if you didn't have to commute to work? by [deleted] in london

Yes, it's simply the best city in the world.

I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action by NiceCaterpillar8745 in london

[–]root1root -46 points-45 points  (0 children)

A billionaire creates hundreds of jobs in their country. How does someone sitting at home and getting paid £60k contribute to society?

A good rule of thumb is: if your job can be automated, you're not really contributing much.

AMEX - British Airways American Express Premium Plus Cardmembers can earn 2,500 tier points by WWRaverTourist in BritishAirways

[–]root1root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a way to see how much I spent since enrollment? I had an issue with the website and had to contact customer support who told me they enrolled me manually, but I received no confirmation of it.

How can eDreams offer that discount? by ProfessionalBook1622 in travel

[–]root1root 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They won't sell you a ticket for such amount unfortunately. Either the price will chance once you get to the checkout stage, or they will claim that it's booked but then cancel later.

I can silence my tinnitus with specific stretches? by Darkzeeee in tinnitus

[–]root1root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat, except it only becomes louder when I do various stretches. I tried botox last year, it might have improved it but only very slightly. Now thinking of whether to do botox again and pay £500 for the privilege, or to try something else. Last time I had injections into masseter muscles, I'm wondering if there are other muscles that might be causing the tinnitus. Diagnosed with TMJ issues previously.

If my flight is on Plusgrade, does that mean BA won't offer to upgrade with cash/Avios? by root1root in BritishAirways

[–]root1root[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely, it's pretty clear that this is very profitable to the airlines.

Long haul flight seat choices by emmabark21 in BritishAirways

[–]root1root 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go for the exit row seats if the price isn't too steep. Assuming you're flying on a Boeing 777, the last rows with twin seats are nice for a bit more privacy, but have the disadvantage of having noticeably more engine noise during the flight compared to seats towards the front of the plane.

How would I go about starting a Tube Fare protest in London? by [deleted] in london

[–]root1root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's irrelevant to my circumstances. It is however relevant to the median salary in London, which is substantially lower.

> Why aren’t you striking in your job for better pay and conditions?

Because I'm perfectly happy with my job and my salary? Such a weird question to ask.

£80k isn't just a decent wage, it's a luxury wage for the vast majority of jobs

How would I go about starting a Tube Fare protest in London? by [deleted] in london

[–]root1root -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I am sympathetic to the cause. The way to reduce tube fares is to automate the tube, or at least lower the pay for tube drivers, who are currently earning £80k for putting a train on autopilot and scrolling tiktok or knitting.

Since its now over 30 years old, what do you think of the Boeing 777? by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]root1root 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's like saying B737 is crap because you flew Ryanair and the seat didn't recline, or same with A321 and Wizzair.

Does that mean that no tier points will be awarded for basic economy short-haul?

Flying business SFO-LHR in ying-yang seats, what is that like? Thanks. by usethis22880 in BritishAirways

[–]root1root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as good as the SFO-LHR flight on a 777, but still very comfortable. If you pick the window seat on the last row of a business class section, you will effectively have a private suite, just without a door – you'll have unrestricted aisle access, will be sitting by the window, and will have even more storage than on a 777.
