Paid seat selection on BA, and many other airlines , isn’t new. If you’re all on the same booking at least one parent should be sat with the children.

Virgin charges for pre seating too.

You’ve clearly never handled a firearm before or understand their workings. They also have safety catches and, whilst the officers fingers are resting on the trigger, it also means nobody else can touch it.

@DirectLine hi help please.I submitted a change of registration online on Saturday to reflect my personal registration going onto retention. However my certificate of insurance is still showing my personal registration.

Maybe if you read Doug’s book about his work in Afghanistan you’ll be refocused and refrain from making crass comments.

A seat change is often as result of an aircraft. It happens occasionally, not worth getting all upset over it. Happened to us a few weeks ago and the lovely crew looked at their iPad and gave us equivalent seats.

The AAIB will investigate and report. Could be some poor chap taking his grandson for a spin for all we know.

With respect General Flynn, you’re wrong. I think your mate in the White House isn’t helping.

If you are both on the same booking chances are you’ll be sat close to or next to your wife when you check in 24 hours before anyway. If you booked long haul out of Heathrow bear in mind many of the business class seats are “suites”.

Wash your mouth out nobody is denied wheelchair assistance. Ps it’s provided by the airport authority after being requested via the airline.

I’ve been to India three times in the past 10 years visiting Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi, Mumbai and Goa. Followed eating and drinking advice and never had any health issue. Was quite sick in Slovenia a few years ago though.

Unless I lived in the countryside I’d sell It and buy a Jaecoo. Then have a nice holiday with the money saved!
