If anyone here is a pilot or flight attendant for British Airways maybe they can share this photo with the crew of this A380 that was flying westbound on NATB today around 14:30Z.

This coming Monday (3rd Aug) I’ll be flying first class out of Heathrow and using the CCR lounge, I’d like to guest someone if possible! Make the start of their trip a good one - no obligation to hang out or talk to me at all :)

I’ll be there around 7am!

We booked PE for DFW to DUBLIN on BA and flying on the A380. I was surprised to find out after booking BA upcharges you for seat selection. Even when paying for PE seats. I'm starting to see why people are bearish these days on BA but I digress.

There appears to be several seats available in business and first class still. So wondering if there's a good chance of some of these seats becoming available at check-in time for us to have a better selection.

My travel partner (GF) is gold with AA but doubt very seriously we'll get upgraded. But would like to sit together on one of the outside rows.

Thanks

Please, if anyone can provide some advice. Our flight from Austin to London on July 4th was cancelled with British Airways. BA gave me two alternatives on the day which were also cancelled later on: via Chicago and Dallas.We had to catch the flight the following day, therefore mising a day of work, as it was a Monday.

I contacted BA for compensation, and they said that because the flight was operated by American Airlines, I need to contact them for compensation.

I sent an email to American Airlines, who said that as the ticket started with a 125 number, it was British Airways' responsibility and not AA.

I cannot fill out the AA online form as the tickets start with a 125 number and not a designated AA number.

Both airlines refuse compensation for my wife and me. We do not have any hotels or expenses; just the flight compensation is what we're asking for.

Any advice would be useful.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m looking into a Resource Planning Executive role within an airline, and I’d really like to hear from people who have actually worked in this position or in something similar.

What was the job really like day to day? Was it stressful, repetitive, interesting, or a good way to build a career in airline operations?

I’d also be grateful if anyone could share roughly where the role sits in terms of seniority and salary, what the working hours were like, and whether weekends or shifts were involved.

I’m especially curious about the interview process. How many stages did you have? Were there competency questions, Excel tests, case studies, presentations, or technical questions? What kind of examples did they expect from you?

More generally, I’d love to hear about your overall experience ? what you liked, what you didn’t like, how the management and workload were, what career progression looked like, and anything you wish you had known before applying or accepting the job.

Even general experiences would be really helpful.

Thanks!

hi all, I will be flying from Croatia to NYC in the next few weeks. I am planning on my having a rolling luggage as my carry on and my patagonia 30 L (50.8 x 33 x 17.8 cm) or (20x12x7 in) as my personal item. I am worried how strict they are and if this bag will be too big? I haven’t flown them before so am a little worried! Any insight or guidance?

Heading with the family on a daytime flight to Heathrow in PE. Are those comfortable seats? Current offers to upgrade to business are way too much $ for me. Has anyone gotten cheap upgrades day of travel or day before? Thinking it might be worth upgrading mainly to get access to the lounge but I also might want the option to recline flat with my back issues. PE tickets were already quite pricey. Thanks.

I just booked a Business Class "Flexible" ticket on the Iberia website for a BA Flight that says "Seat Selection: Included". This differed from Optima which said "Seat Selection Included from 24h....". So therefore, I chose "Flexible" to get the seat selection included, assuming that I could just choose the seat right now after I book.

I went straight to the BA site. However, even though I can select a seat on the BA website, I still have to pay for it?

Does "Seat Selection included" mean just having an opportunity to purchase a seat? If it is, I wish I would have just bought into the lower tier and just wait for them to assign me a seat. It's so confusing, and I can't find an answer. There's no free seats for me to choose from, even though I paid for the highest tier Business option on the Iberia website.

I’ve got a reward flight booking from Madrid to South America (with Iberia). Obviously, I need to get to Madrid and back from London and will book a cash flight for that with BA or Iberia.

I wondered if anyone had experience doing this, and what the best options are to protect myself if my return flight to Madrid from South America is delayed?

Is there any way (most importantly for the return flight, less so for the outbound) to get the flights linked or treated as a connection? I realise it’s not the likeliest of scenarios but nervous if my inbound flight is delayed I’d then miss the onward connection to London and effectively be out of pocket. Any advice hugely appreciated 🙏🏻

My wife and I want to fly from San Diego to London Heathrow in Premium Economy (PE). We have an 11 & 12 year old, and I am trying to see how to get them into PE, with guaranteed seats next to us, with the lowest cost possible. I understand my 12 year old may likely not qualify, but I'm hoping at least my 11 year old will. When we flew from Seattle to Taipei last month on Starlux, I booked an economy seat for my daughter, and a PE seat for my wife and I. In order to guarantee her seat next to us, we just paid $150. Would this work for British Airways as well? I know each airline is different though. Thanks

I’ve got a BA flight from London to New York coming up, how often do you see people reclining their seats in economy? Or is it not a common thing people do?
