  @@TienTran-nw5bd As a mexican I can tell you that it’s very safe to stay inside the resorts . You can even take a tour to the pyramids or any park like Xcaret, Xel-ha, etc. The tourist zone in cancun is safe and a lot of Americans come here every year, specially in that kinds of luxury hotels like atelier because most mexicans don’t earn enough money (unfortunately). So dont worry my friend I always go once a year to cancun and I see many Americans having fun. I went to atelier last year and now i will go on June!

Fingers crossed Jakarta to columbo flight is ok, timing is only a 55m connection in Columbo now

  My CMB to DXB ended up being my best flight of the 4 so hope you make it. Likely to be a short distance between the gates and I had a welcoming party showing me where to go so you should be ok. Don’t take checked luggage of course. I’d still have a contingency up your sleeve. I had one eye on the LHR flight. Lastly, make sure you keep all boarding passes and etkts etc. - I’m still battling with BA for my outbound TPs.

  Before covid, they were giving out champagne in an actual glass cup? Sounds like a safety concern in the event of turbulence/clumsy customers. Personally, I'm happy with plastic. Especially knowing other peoples lips havent been on it, because i dont trust that employees would effectively wash the cups lol.

•

  Do you take your own cutlery to restaurants? I think you have to trust the business to wash their dining equipment. Glass gives a more premium feel in my opinion. If this is a US rule then that’s different.

  So, if we are arriving from a long-haul flight at C gates ... have a two-hour layover before our connecting flight (also at C gates) ... is this the best lounge to take a shower or would you recommend going all the way over to the Concorde Room?

• 
  @gazzis2 ай бұрын

  If you have access to the CR then go to the CR I would say. But if you only have time for a shower then Bs are fine. I think if you plan to go from C to main terminal you may need to get train to B then walk to Main terminal via level -4 walkway. If you use train to go from C to main then I understand you pop up the wrong side of security. Sorry for slow reply! Need to sort my notifications!

  Ex-EU to West Coast of the states is a regular run as far as I know. I wasn’t really fussed about the destination but I do like Vegas. This particular route was the best £/TP I could find at the time. What are the much better ways do you think?

  @@gazzis Again it’s subjective as if the destination is not one you’d like to go to then that takes half of the value away. The Sri Lankan run from AUH-CMB-MNL and back can be had for sub £800 which nets 560 tier points. AGP-HEL-LHR-JFK-LAX-SFO nets around 1080 TP return and can be had for around £1300-1500.
