Sometimes I think @British_Airways have a death wish, but I guess they’ll still serve breakfast in the lounges

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@GazRich88 Congratulations and good luck in your new role!

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@AndythePandy_ I don’t mind not having a hot breakfast but every single option is something sweet. I don’t have a sweet tooth and really wouldn’t want any of those. As others say, surely they could do something like a bacon roll, quiche or egg pot instead of one of the options?

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@DaveSagit @Ed_Miliband I agree with the sentiment but those figures are absolute rubbish. Spain is more like a minimum of £1200 a year from my bills for an apartment and similar figures I have seen widely.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@house_lad41501 @PatrickChristys It allegedly already has. https://t.co/CZ1rd8T525

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@dr_besty @PolitlcsUK @FT I’m totally against this. You already usually paid tax on money you have saved when you receive it. Then with the situation with inflation or if you pay 40% tax you’re lodinh money when rate of inflation has been in double figures. Even currently you’re only getting 1% profit.

This is what happens when you let the intern have a go on the graphics 🙄 @SkyNews

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@Willow_9494 @HeathrowAirport I used to have that issue and then I read about using a hair clip to make sure the page stays flat and it actually worked after 6 years of having the passport!

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

E gates down yet again at @HeathrowAirport when I went through about an hour ago. Luckily it had only just happened so the queue wasn’t too bad at that point.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@vincegijsen @British_Airways @paul_winginit @RobAviation Yes that sums it up. If they were the best airline maybe it would be different. But there’s very few full service airlines I’ve flown which are substantially worse.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

Well this sums it up nicely. Although there’s rumours of a slight rollback. But I think @British_Airways have already burned their bridges with a lot of customers. Would you give them a 2nd chance if they lowered TP requirements? How low should it be? @paul_winginit @RobAviation

[Stansaid Airport @StansaidAirport]

British Airways love our new campaign for their revamped tier points rewards programme. They think it really captures how much leisure customers mean to them.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@MT111tmd123 @British_Airways @paul_winginit @RobAviation It has been rumoured they may bring that back.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@stickybloke @British_Airways @paul_winginit @RobAviation That’s an interesting suggestion. Though IAG seem hellbent on revenue models.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@alexdc1 @British_Airways @paul_winginit @RobAviation I’m already about to drop to Gold. Used to do a lot of European J but prices are so ridiculous I’ve used Avios this year. Now I will be considering EZY or European carriers if cheaper.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@groupstageexit @British_Airways @paul_winginit @RobAviation Yes that’s my thought too. Would still reduce numbers dramatically on gold but would at least be achievable for some leisure travellers.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@paul_winginit @British_Airways @RobAviation The revenue based Avios are crazy. Flew LHR BHD in J got about 1100 Avios. Spent less on a meal in Gaucho got 2400 Avios. How the hell is that rewarding loyalty with BA?

[RobAvia - Robert Farrugia @RobAviation]

Another to add to @paul_winginit @MicheleTLFL , myself and no doubt a fair few others. I wonder when BA's bean counters will notice? 🤔

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@groupstageexit @supaned @paul_winginit @British_Airways Totally agree. I’m a share holder and I think they will peak this year. Once we get into the next financial year I think it will be a different story. I have just seen so many people stop booking with BA or reduce their bookings that it has to be having an effect for 25/26.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

@paul_winginit My last flight is mid June and have no plans to book any more unless they are on Avios. Surely BA must be seeing the drop in forward bookings from April by now. I’d say 80-90% of the comments I’ve seen have said they will reduce their flights with @British_Airways due to this.

[Michele @MicheleTLFL]

I’d laugh if I wasn’t so angry about the @British_Airways change.

Hearing that BA are renaming the lounges:
CCR ➡️ Billionaires Room
First Lounge ➡️ Millionaires Club
Club Lounge ➡️ Wealthy man's hangout...
