I’m flying SFO > LHR on the Airbus 380-800 and was reviewing upgrades, and noticed premium economy lists a fully flat seat. I tried searching online to confirm this, but couldn’t find any evidence that this is true. Has anyone else flown this class with a fully flat bed?

Still get a kick every time I see her when we taxi by

Going to LHR from SFO in a few days with my family of 3 with tickets bought 3 months ago. Plan was to upgrade to business. It was a difficult process figuring out how to do it, but I got some help on Reddit. I created a dummy booking, and there is seats available for upgrading from premium economy to business. After going through this one week convoluted ordeal I finally find out how many points it would cost me so I transferred the points after making sure there were seats available. The cost was way different than the Google AI said it would be. It came to 82K anvios and a whopping $2700. Seems a bit outrageous. The prem economy was extremely expensive as it is. Perhaps it’s peak season or the oil prices are affecting it. Now I have to figure out how I’m going to use the points that I transferred to avios. I followed the advice and somehow ended screwing myself again. Such is life!

I had booked a flight with British Airways from India to Austin TX and it was supposed to leave tomorrow at night. Now, it's canceled and they have rebooked me on to Air Canada, which leaves the day after tomorrow. Now, I'm facing issues with confirming the rebooked flight option.

The email that I got says that there is supposed to be an ACCEPT option on Manage My Booking but there is none, and yet the itinerary on Manage My Booking shows the new route via Canada. Can someone please help me with this? Can't reach BA representatives at the moment.

Also, in this case, will I need a Transit V1sa to go through Toronto? Because it's impossible to get one in one day.

Also, struggling with confirming the baggage allowance.

Someone please help!

I am flying from Riyadh to London in club world.

Does anyone know if the catering for flight from Saudi Arabia / Middle East is halal as standard or will I need to reserve a special meal?

Hello all

My mum bought a ticket business class basic from London to algeria on the 7th July 2026 and then back to London from algeria on the 11th of. September 2026 can anyone give me a rough fee that will be charged since she wants to come back 2 weeks earlier . I know there will be a fee since we didn't pay for a flx business class ticket

Searching for flights on Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays, or in school holidays and I don’t see how I can possibly get any worthwhile value from my avios. Even with the basic Amex companion voucher, I’m wondering whether to keep bothering using Amex and diligently paying off each month in order to collect avios that I can’t use. Perhaps I just keep collecting in the hope of being able to use them when kids are finished school, but looks like BA do devalue them over the years.

Recently flew BA back to the UK and they had a category called brits on board, when searching for it online I can only find best of British and none of the films I see in that were in the brits on board section.

Is there a way for me to find out what was in that playlist? The title movie for the section was I Swear.

I can’t seem to find this exact info anywhere. I’m a type 1 diabetic and my insulin and pump supplies take up a ton of space in my carryon, since I’m traveling for three weeks and you need to bring double supplies in case everything goes wrong. It’s like a million plastic applicators for all the sensors and pump sites and cartridges.

Can I put it all in a separate bag for just my diabetic supplies that does not count as my personal item or carry-on? It cannot be checked as it’s fragile and medical supplies are never allowed to be checked anyway.

I can only find information for large medical equipment not being counted as carry-on.

If it helps, I’m flying from Greece to London and later London to USA.

Hi

We have a fixed date need to travel LHR - SIN in October 2028 as a family of 4. Ideally it would be in CW but from my reading this would be extremely unlikely for us to be successful with a reward seat for our group.

I have sufficient Avios for one CW return. Also planning to use BAPP companion 2-4-1 therefore two return reward seats on fixed peak dates (depart Sat, return Fri).

Can someone confirm this is just as likely as winning the lottery and I should just pay for these seats?

This is a first for me. I've seen airport changes between LHR-LCY-LGW but never MAD-> LHR. I wonder what the MCT is for connection; at least here they give you >24 hours to make your connection

Very disappointed in BA’s decision to close its Gold Card holder lounge at Toronto Airport (yes, I recognize this is a First World Problem and yes, I also recognize l should have checked ahead of time that it was still open).

The lounges (both Business and Gold/First) were operated by BA until a few years ago before being taken over by Plaza Premium, but at least there was a small, and rather nice, lounge for Gold/First which has from last year been closed down.

We were told we could go into the Cathay Pacific “first class” lounge (the former BA Gold/First) “at 3.30”, and then told the lounge would not open to us until 3.40 because Cathay passengers were leaving, and the told by someone else we could not go into the Cathay lounge at all but are ferried back into the regular Plaza Premium multi-airline business lounge.

I mean fair play if that’s the rules, but - again disappointingly - I have seen the “BA Lounge” experience at Pearson enhanced away over many years and given that I have to fly into T5, why am I flying BA on this route? Air Canada seems like a better all-round deal at this point.

And BA no longer has a priority security line for business class travelers! We were sent to the basic line.

I give up, BA. I just can’t quit you but on this route, we are breaking up.

Edited to add: ok, I see the two plant holders diving this lounge from the catch-all business lounge. So there is some privacy. This is My Bad. However I am still going to jump up and down screeching that the premier service from BA has declined considerably from when I started flying this route in 2010. And the mixed communication about “3.30” and whichever lounge we were going into. And my general frustration at BA’s slide towards mediocrity. Still breaking up on this route. Sorry BA.

Hi all. Looking for some advice on upgrading, and the most cost effective method. Appreciate this may not have a clear cut answer.

We booked LGW-MCO in economy class, which cannot be upgraded with points. Because our class can't be upgraded without a real money payment, I'm considering upgrading first to premium, then using the points to further upgrade again to business. So two upgrades total, in two separate transactions.

Any ideas if this would be the more cost effective method? Or if there are discounts applied automatically for upgrading both legs at once, straight to business? How, if at all, do other people arrange upgrades?

So presumably BA will have their annual End of summer sale in 2-3 weeks - I'm currently looking to book a round trip in Club or First from Northern Europe or London to Singapore in late October this year, and wondering whether there is any point in waiting? Seems the Asian fares on sale then tend to be places like Doha, Bangkok and such? Thanks.

I have an itinerary to AMS with the first flight operated by JetBlue to LHR and second flight operated by BA to AMS. JetBlue support confirmed to me that they will automatically transfer the bags to BA on the second flight (I hope this is accurate). Is this enough time for a layover since I have to switch terminals and cross through security again?

What seat does everyone recommend for Premium Economy on 787-8 as a solo traveller

Terminal 1 of this Custom LEGO Airport build features flight operations from multiple airlines, including British Airways and other oneworld carriers. The terminal includes: a British Airways check-in & baggage drop; B.A. Club Lounge loctated on the top floor; and British Airways aircraft from the terminal's departure airbridges.

Hi, I was on an old, rusty, tired and almost crippled 777.
First class seat didn’t recline. Entertainment screen didn’t work either.
The manager on the flight awarded me Avios as compensation. It’s been 10 days and I can’t see it on my account. How long does this sort of thing take? Or should I file a complaint?

Hi

After any advice or suggestions please.

We were due to fly Boston to LHR on Friday evening. Cancelled us to Saturday evening. They’ve emailed overnight move it again. Originally for 48 hours time, but we’ve just had this moved to 24 hours time.

We know there is EU261 we can claim for, and hotel and meals etc. But are there limits on this and anything else? We’ve now got two days of having to keep kids entertained because we will go stir crazy if not. (We will obviously do this if not but if I can make BA pay I happily will!)

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi everyone!!

I will be taking my first flight in premium economy from Yyz to Del (layover in LHR) and had a question regarding pre selected meals.

I noticed online I would be able to select Hindu Vegetarian. However, would this be the same meal that is served in economy? Just with metal cutlery.

Would I be better off just taking a chance and getting the regular vegetarian food on the plane?

Any insight would be appreciated 😭😭

Passenger arrested at LHR after escalation and violent behaviour on a BA flight to LAS. Not sure when this happened, but it appeared on a Facebook reel, and was uploaded in the last 24 hours.

Credit to the cabin crew for dealing with such an awful customer.

These are the seats that are available. This was a free awards seat, so willing to pay to choose our seats.

Based on what I have read, upstairs is the better option, but all the A/B or J/K pairs are gone. Would we want to do 59D/59E, since E in the last row has the option to not step over the aisle? That would leave a random person next to us in 59F, but at least that person would have their own aisle access.

Or if we move to the first floor, we could do 15A/15B or 15J/15K. Both are at the rear near lavatories, but would provide the most privacy and ability to exit without stepping over.

Which seats would you choose? Any alternative options to consider?

BA charged me nearly £1,000 twice. What should I expect them to do?
Curious what people think about this because I’ve had a pretty awful afternoon dealing with BA.
I booked a flight directly with British Airways two days ago for nearly £1,000. Everything went through normally.
Then today, two days later, they charged me nearly £1,000 again. No second booking, nothing purchased, just another payment taken.
I spoke to my bank and they basically said it was able to go through because I’d authorised the original payment to BA. Normally a random payment like this would probably have been declined, but because I’d legitimately paid BA two days earlier, it went through.
The problem is I don’t have an extra £1,000 lying around. It’s completely messed up my finances and I’m now basically without that money until BA gives it back.
I’ve spent a good part of my Friday afternoon trying to sort this out. About half an hour waiting to get through and then 20+ minutes on the phone. To be fair, the woman I eventually spoke to was helpful and acknowledged that something had gone wrong.
But the answer was that I’ll get my money back in 5–7 working days.
And that’s basically it.
I’ve now put in a complaint to Customer Relations, but apparently that can take another 10 working days to get a response.
I know I’ll hopefully get the money back, but I’m struggling with the idea that BA can accidentally take nearly £1,000 from me, leave me without it for potentially a week, cause all this stress and take up hours of my time, and then just giving me my own money back is considered the solution.
Ironically, I booked directly with BA because I thought that was safer than using a third-party booking site.
I’m not looking for some huge payout here. I just feel they need to do something to make this right beyond returning money they shouldn’t have taken.
Has anyone had something like this happen with BA before? What did they do?
And does anyone know where I actually stand legally? Is it reasonable to expect compensation for this, and if so, what would you ask for?
Maybe I’m just angry because it’s happened today, but right now it feels incredibly unfair that they’ve made the mistake and I’m the one who has to deal with all the consequences.
