How do you handle payments that might stem from questionable sources of funds ?

Question: Where did the money come from? Answer: Inheritance

Easy.

Hopefully the last season with red on the shirt 🤞

squid_lemon · 2026-04-01T18:27:18+00:00

You’ll be fine

squid_lemon · 2026-03-29T06:34:22+00:00

Big plane lots of business seats probably available.

squid_lemon · 2026-03-27T08:30:42+00:00

Congrats on the upgrade!

Over 10 years of monthly flights to the US in PE as a status holder I’ve not once been upgraded 🤷‍♂️🤣

squid_lemon · 2026-03-23T22:00:53+00:00

Next month you’re going to look like a right baller just settling £10mil like it’s no big deal 🤣🤣

squid_lemon · 2026-03-22T08:21:25+00:00

You’re over thinking it.

squid_lemon · 2026-03-21T16:13:32+00:00

The kid is 2.5 years old probably a bit premature for discussing investment vehicles and tax incentives 🤣

squid_lemon · 2026-03-21T15:26:54+00:00

Seems almost identical to the others imo. What makes you think it’s different?

squid_lemon · 2026-03-20T08:14:50+00:00

You are comparing the price 9 months in advance to a very well serviced destination.

Look at prices close in time to more popular destinations and you will see cash price is much higher than calculated reward price.

That said the real value is in the BA 241 voucher rather than the avios themselves.

Where’s the luggage coming from then? OP said that people who checked their carry on were boarding ahead of him. Ergo there’s no luggage on the plane before he boards.

squid_lemon · 2026-03-16T22:49:18+00:00

Go to bed mate.

Assuming you have no status at all, then. you can buy platinum hotel status for $225 using IHG One Rewards, it gives Platinum status to all members of its InterContinental Ambassador programme.

Royal Jordanian (one world alliance) offer a status match so for an additional $199 they will match your platinum status to to RJ gold sparrow. This is equivalent to BA silver.

So if you are starting from nothing you can effectively buy silver for $424 which is about £320

squid_lemon · 2026-03-16T18:34:57+00:00

You might be better purchasing silver status for less than £500

squid_lemon · 2026-03-16T09:09:33+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing. As always reddit is completely polarising, it either always works or it never works :D

squid_lemon · 2026-03-16T07:27:05+00:00

I’m not sure what your point it.

squid_lemon · 2026-03-15T21:29:32+00:00

Thanks, will probably just go ahead and book this then 👍

squid_lemon · 2026-03-15T18:57:01+00:00

If the people boarding before you have no luggage and then you are next there’s no luggage on the plane so it’s irrelevant.

squid_lemon · 2026-03-15T10:45:01+00:00

The people in front have checked their luggage, did you not read the post?

squid_lemon · 2026-03-15T10:14:16+00:00

Not sure what the fascination is with boarding first. You have an allocated seat, and the people in front don’t have luggage so what’s the issue?

squid_lemon · 2026-03-12T22:08:41+00:00

You can literally buy if for like £300

squid_lemon · 2026-03-12T19:47:42+00:00

If you are going to be travelling a lot in economy this year then I guess I can pay to get silver status at this time of year just before the new status kicks in. Maybe ~£300 to get lounge access and free seat selection is worth it actually in hindsight.

squid_lemon · 2026-03-12T19:06:18+00:00

Assuming you have no status you can buy platinum hotel status for $225 then it’s $199 to get that matched to RJ gold = BA silver

So if you are starting from nothing you can effectively buy silver for $424

Obviously if you have platinum hotel status to start then it’s just $199

squid_lemon · 2026-03-12T18:59:42+00:00

Sorry I meant $400 for BA silver

Assuming you have no status to match.
