@elonmusk Could you explain a little more as to why you've decided to stop making them?

Not huge. Guest list gets you access to Concorde Lounge in T5 Heathrow and Chelsea Lounge T8 JFK. But Group O status is meant to give you priority boarding ahead even of Group 1. But at least 50% of the time they don’t bother to call Group 0. Boarding BA is usually shambles despite all the emphasis on groups. You’d think a British airline, of all airlines, would know how organise an orderly queue! @British_Airways

A case study in how @British_Airways, by setting impossibly high tier point hurdles, is going to lose a lot of money/big paying customers.
Planning my next trip to NYC in Spring. Normally I’d do business Nice-London on BA, return first class London-NYC-London and business London-Nice, fitting in a few working days in London there and back. All up the fares would come to around £5,000 for flights in second half of April. A lot of money — especially since it comes out of my pocket. Nobody picks up my expenses. But at my age I like to travel in comfort.
And I like the BA crews.
However now that the tier point hurdle is too high for renewing guest list status for all but perpetual travellers, why bother planning a schedule round BA flights?
I’ve booked Nice-NYC-Nice first class return on Delta for just over €3,000. No brainer, really. Direct flight, almost half the price. And @British_Airways will lose £5,000. Plus much more if this now becomes my regular NYC schedule.
I can’t tell you the number of people I know now doing similar flight schedule planning which simply removes BA from the planning, when it used to be at the centre.
And, yes, I know it’s most definitely a first-world problem! But BA makes most of its money from passengers flying first/business. With fewer of us the fares of premium/economy passengers will rise.
Well done @British_Airways. How to stuff loyal, high-paying customers of longstanding for no good reason whatsoever.
Hi @Delta. Thanks for reserving me seat 1A both ways! Can’t wait.

@CBPRONALDREAGAN I left my kindle at security. Is there any way I can get it back?

[Lloyd @EnglishOakCon]

Which Airport is better

[Lloyd @EnglishOakCon]

TSA precheck line is triple the length of the normal security line at Ronald Reagan airport. What's the point?

[Lloyd @EnglishOakCon]

@maddawgphoto @trussliz @grok Hopefully we don't ever have to choose between them 🙏🏼

[Lloyd @EnglishOakCon]

@maddawgphoto @trussliz @grok Agreed Labour were just as bad if not worse.

Don't be fooled by Liz Truss she's a swamp creature that's trying to stay relevant by tacking on to the personal liberties movement when her government was responsible for lockdowns
