Pete Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sat at work counting down the minutes until I can book check in my BA Flight to Beijing. The BA website is great as it lets you choose your seat, meals and print boarding cards 24 hours before the flight. How cool is that? You can see what films are on, browse the duty free, etc. If only it would tell me where the annoying kids are going to be so I can avoid those Hot Spots for 10 hours! Then it's an evening drive to Slough ready for the flight from Heathrow around midday. It's all quite exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 just make sure you get luggage insurance as iv heard they have loast loads of customers luggages and never paid compensation There's nothing I'm bothered about losing. It is insured anyway, was quite picky on choosing this policy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you do that without a ticket? I hope so. I can then pretend I'm going on holiday and maybe cheer myself up for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I already have a booking reference, that combined with my surname is all they ask. It's all done by "e-tickets". We could set up a simulator website which gives people the placebo affect.

DaveK Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm looking forward to tomorrow - I'll be able to check in for my flight to Miami on Wednesday. Not sure if I can browse the films on Virgin - but I think Virgin are on demand anyway, and have loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm on Virgin on the way back. Their site has told me naff all in comparison. The BA thing is on demand too, get your own screen etc. I'll be using the video iPod more I reckon. Have a good holiday Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Have a great time Pete. Do you want to leave the Supra here? You can do if you want, it's no problem. Actually I was kicking myself for not having sorted out the front arms/bushes so you could've got on with fitting the springs etc whilst I was away. Oh well. It'll be safe and sound on the driveway - thanks for the offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
