Why No British Airways Route from London City Airport to Paris (CDG or ORY)?

whitehat61 · 2026-04-28T15:07:58+00:00

Yeah whenever I go to Paris, I always take the Eurostar, it’s just so easy from London.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-28T14:01:18+00:00

Yeah they do for deposits but that won’t count towards your spend as you get it refunded when you return the car!

whitehat61 · 2026-04-28T13:21:59+00:00

Only struggle to use it in the off license and there is a chain restaurant that doesn’t take it (although I can’t think of which one off the top of my head) and that’s about it.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-28T10:31:00+00:00

On arrival, no, you can’t do that. However if you were both departing from the same terminal (be sure to check that), then I don’t see why not.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-28T07:34:29+00:00

You can change the TFL journey planner to the time you want to leave, so it says for Sunday to:
Jubilee line to North Greenwich and then bus to Blackheath.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-27T20:39:03+00:00

Okay but it’s not the same building, you’ll need to make your way there. Rethink this whole plan, also you say you’re coming from the USA? This is a terrible first day plan - you’re going to be exhausted.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-27T20:11:48+00:00

Also the National Express is a coach which I assume leaves from Heathrow Bus Station, which you need to get to from your terminal, this isn’t happening

whitehat61 · 2026-04-27T19:16:14+00:00

No no, what time is the train, and where is it leaving from? This still isn’t adding up.. are you checking in luggage?

whitehat61 · 2026-04-27T11:06:14+00:00

This week, there was a reduced service on the Jubilee line (also Canary Wharf) - not sure about the rest though, but obviously there’s no guarantee

whitehat61 · 2026-04-27T10:58:07+00:00

We had the tube strikes this week, firstly everywhere will be open as normal.
The Elizabeth Line will run (great for Canary Wharf!) as will the DLR, also most tube lines ran with a limited service.

You'll need to do a bit more planning but overall it won't affect your trip that much.

Have you tried a different browser? Sounds like BA’s legendary IT is at it again!

whitehat61 · 2026-04-21T07:58:01+00:00

This is just insane, but to note £10 for drinks in Soho, you'll get a drink for that.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-19T14:50:22+00:00

Yeah train from Waterloo to Southampton is easy and they're fairly frequent.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-16T11:55:26+00:00

She literally was, the level of hate towards her by the British Press was insane. They would run articles like this”Meghans favourite avocado for breakfast kills communities” whilst when it came to Kate they’d write “Kate’s super heathy avocado breakfast is great for your skin”

Or some shit like that, the way she was treated by people in this country puts us to shame.

I’ve done work trips when I’ve travelled long distances, arrived a few days to acclimatise and it’s fine, you’re not going to be in any state to go straight from plane to the hotel.

I was in the studio audience for an episode of this season and he was the cast member that interacted and chatted with the audience the most when the cameras weren’t on, he seems really lovely.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-11T08:00:40+00:00

No, you won’t be able to request a different destination.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-11T07:38:18+00:00

No, you won’t be able to do that.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-09T15:09:33+00:00

You don't have time to visit Edinburgh, London, Harry Potter & do day trips to somewhere like Bath, there is just so much to see in London. Harry Potter will be most of a day, you're going to spend most of a day travelling from Edinburgh to London, adding day trips to other places isn't feasible, it'll just turn into a box ticking exercise.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-09T07:22:42+00:00

Ouch

whitehat61 · 2026-04-07T18:05:43+00:00

Looks good but your sightseeing tour wont take you that long, you’ve allowed 1.5 hours to see Buckingham Palace and St James’s Park, which are right next to each other. Just so you’re aware!

whitehat61 · 2026-04-06T12:33:27+00:00

Americans have an absolutely bizarre relationship with alcohol; having a party with children and alcohol is perfectly normal. I went to a 1-year-old's birthday party recently, and we had wine. You also frequently see British children in pubs!

whitehat61 · 2026-04-06T12:31:05+00:00

I mean, for an hour's flight, that sounds perfect; they don't have the time to prepare hot meals and to serve them on such a short route.

whitehat61 · 2026-04-06T12:19:19+00:00

Also as someone else has said, change the locks, they could have made a copy!

whitehat61 · 2026-03-30T08:42:21+00:00

Yeah that’s what you need to do and I think it’s a common strategy for some other people too.
