Then to the AA website which quoted the same fare using the same BA
flight numbers, but only £(GBP)29.40 for Taxes, fees, charges and

What is the situation with cancelling an airline ticket. I booked one
literally this morning to fly tomorrow morning - cost £102 - but I have been
taken unwell. Can I cancel and get my money back. I have never done this
before so what is the deal with airlines and cancellations?

Does anybody know the present fleet of Garuda Indonesia ? The information on
their website seems not to be up to date....

I have two $100 dollar vouchers for sale.  They are with suntrips so
you must be able to fly from Oakland or Denver and suntrips fly's into

   I'm planning a trip (3 people) to LA in October, and i'd really
appreciate some help. I've been looking for cheap fares for hours, and

I collect miles on my Lufthansa Miles & More card, which is a Star
Alliance partner.
I want to accrue miles via a credit card, but unfortunatly Lufthansa
offer a rewards credit card to most countries, but not the UK.

Have they lost the box on the top right of the booking screen to pick your
country of residence ?
I'm trying to help someone in another country.

I've noticed that ANZ calls its LAX-AKL route "Flight 1".  Thought that was
interesting, any other (major) airlines have a Flight 1?

Went on a quick business trip to Edinburgh, went to ba.com, within 10 mins I

Wonder if we'll see Watchdog covering the story in a few months time?

Never would I have thought that I would say this (especially as I
think their in-flight service is quite good), but BA's ground staff
make Air Canada's ground staff look positively stellar and flexible in
comparison.  Never have I come across a crowd of more rule-bound and

Last time I traveled via LBA it cost me £25 for 26 hours parking. As much
as the flight. I'm determined to do better this time.
