Couldn't agree more.

Absolutely. Let's assume in monetary spend that 1 "rich" tourist is the equivalent of 20 "poor" tourists That's 19 tourists who don't need to be fed & watered That's 19 beds lost. That's 19 taxi rides lost. There's the loss of bars/nightlife/entertainment I could go on... That rich tourist doesn't spend money that trickles through the economy. It go's to multi-nationals and the governement via tax.

I really wish that TAT senior personnel got fired when their outlandish claims don't come to fruition - I don't think they have ever hit the mark. Perhaps if their jobs were on the line then they might think twice before making such bold statements. I get that they have to be optimistic but it just makes them look like idiots. I'd also love them to publish their data to back up their nonsense

Yeah happened to me. Tried to send 600,000 (for land), had to do 15 x 40 transactions. What a palava...

Good Luck with that. I've only built the outer wall so far ????

Seems about right. Aeroflot were cheap for a reason https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_accidents_and_incidents

Just an aside, I flew on the last BA 747 back to London years ago. What a plane that was...

The problem is (like any company) is that they have lost their reputation. It used to a privledge, sort of, flying with BA back in the 70's and 80's but they never kept up with the times nor did they attract the younger crowd who ended up on package holidays in Ibiza . Easyjet gave them a broken and bloody nose which they never really recovered from. But I have to say, flying on BA was much more preferable to flying on KLM - I heard they still use reclining seats on biz. long haul, maybe I'm wrong.

Exactly. I've said this time and time again...

Hell yes, but its just one of many "THAILAND CLOSE BORDERS FROM 4AM TOMORROW" "YOUR FLIGHT HAS BEEN CANCELLED" "UK IMPOSES NATIONAL LOCKDOWN FROM 4AM TOMORROW" "THAILAND IMPOSING 14 DAY QUARANTINE FROM TOMORROW" "THAILAND DIVERTING ALL INCOMING PASSENGERS TO THE MOON" "PRAYUT ASKS ARMY TO REMOVE ALL SINGHA FROM THAILAND" Seriously though, my only concern is that despite being triple jabbed, I end up in frickin quarantine...

Possibly the worse airline ever. I travelled with them once, never again! They make American airlines look good and that's saying something....

Yep, I was a gold oneworld member for years but the service went downhill over time with all their costcutting. Emirates <deleted>s all over BA - If only they offered a direct service from the UK

I'm travelling on Sunday and thinking of sitting in the hold ????

Rules? Where were going we don't need rules... Maybe that's roads...

Obviously you missed the word "probably" but never mind.

Couldn't agree more. Every day the BBC delights in telling us how Covid cases are on the increase whilst putting the more salient point, i.e. deaths, at the bottom of the article. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59673150 Deaths have been steady for a while at around 150 a day - To put this into perspective and I've mentioned this before 600+ people a day die from Cancer. I wouldn't care that much but I'm forced to pay to watch/listen to the BBC !!

I'm looking at the picture and thinking "Where's the track ?"

I can confirm that.

Well if they would stop murdering their tourists, it would be a start...

They shouldnt be giving AZ as a booster, only Pfizer or Moderna

I think from 17th but no doubt some bars will push their luck

Nope. Confirmed by my bar owner friend. Open from 17th

Yep and its even sadder that he'll probably do little jailtime

Yeah and I hope they are testing all those illegals sneaking into the country from Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia....????

Here here. I've been banging on about this, it should be compulsory and part of your airline ticket cost.
