Cant argue with the price !! Have a good trip.

Are you on travel/hotel concessions prices to get that good a deal ??

So which airline are you talking about ?

Good post and if you use Thai travel agents for any reason be aware that when you ask them to book a flight they always look specifically at the cheapest class in economy. No seats and the agent says full, and never bothers to tell you that a higher price of economy ticket will be available !

October 2010 is 750 ?? Surely you can get to Manchester ?? Its 5 hours minimum for me to get to Heathrow or Gatwick EVERY TRIP. Etihad from London is 435 pounds and similar from Manchester.

Yep thanks-must have defaulted to that setting at some point. You would think that soi 7 geezer would have been able to point that out to me ??

I contacted Secrets couple of weeks ago because I can only view opening post in a thread and the rest of the posts need to be clicked on to view ?? I assumed that they are trying to save bandwidth ? This soi 7 character told me it was my Pc but as I can view every other forum as per normal I think not ?

Nothing wrong with Heathrow IMO. We are all just passing through nothing more ? Whats wrong with BA is that you sit in a 31 inch seat pitch for 11/12 hours in economy and thats why I would never pay full fare on them.

Thats some percentage increase on Qatar-any reason that you know of ??

Yes it was back in the 90's I was using them via my brother at 90 pound a pop-Am I right in saying that it is 10% of full economy fare ??

Never flown with them but recall that the transit used to be around 5 hours on the return sector.

Have always found Eva fine on booze if you go to the back and politely ask for beer and wine ?? They do try to get the food service done asap though no doubt so that they can kip

Thats steep !!

My nine year wants to know where we can get enrollment forms for the school....he says soi 8 isn't what it was

Spot on in your observations

Brother worked for British Airways at the time and standby tickets for immediate family were normally around 90 pound return. Used them approx 50 times-only 2 occasions couldnt get the seat outbound after arriving Heathrow, but on Bangkok London leg got on every time.Helped when BA started code sharing with QF as you could use their motors as well. Its a standard concession in the industry.

I could have added usage of standby tickets on BA/QF at 90 pound a pop but obviously I was referring to standard revenue tickets

For myself 325 pounds in 1994 on Tarom out of Heathrow. Cant remember exactly what the taxes etc were but was either a fiver or a tenner And the most was 540 pounds on Thai summer of 1995. Never paid more than that (economy) ever since.

With Business class at 670 pounds must be worth a nibble

If i was the poor sod seated next to that pile of blubber I really would scream merry hell. Check in should have refused to board him in economy period.

No-you can have as many class of ticket as you want in economy but you'll still be sat in the same seat pitch.

I remember coming back from Bahrain on Gulf in 2002 and I swear to god I couldnt get in the seat. That must have been a 26-28 inch pitch They had chartered some holiday motor and I spent the entire flight on the jump seat at the back bar take off and landing.

It doesnt surprise me that the cheaper tickets may now attract no mileage accrual. As a gold card holder you're accumulating 19,500 miles per round trip even on rock bottom tickets and they are only following other airlines lead in reducing rewards.

Perhaps you better let BA know of what you've heard as they have one of the smallest seat pitches on the non stop LHR-BKK route 1luv

Great airline but beware that if you're tall 3 of the 4 aisle seats have the AVOD boxes underneath the seat in front severely restricting legroom. From memory its row G that is ok.
