Thanks for that. I never knew it was an electronic voice and I worked in Terminal 5. I've been in several airports around the world and heard the same voice. I thought one woman made her living doing airport announcements. I've even phoned the BAA to ask 'her' to put out passenger...

And the English speaking woman’s voice in that video is the same as in T5.

I got stuck in a lift in Terminal 1 at Heathrow a few years bacK with thirty Japanese schoolgirls! Seriously. We were released after about five minutes.

Lots Lots of reports now that it got destroyed including on the An-225 Facebook group. At least I have a model of it!

I’m not in the rail industry, know little about trains and have only been on one rail journey in the last six years!….but the Sleeper to Fort William is on my bucket list and I want the full works travelling in a Club cabin. My background is in revenue management and pricing for British...

In BA we call it W and J!

Best flight: Generally anything on the much missed British Caledonian, more specifically despite having flown on Concorde and in First Class, for the experience the Barra to Glasgow service for the scenery and flying over the tops of mountains. An honourable mention has to be a Rotterdam to...

I did yield management for BA for donkeys years. You would have been upgraded as Economy was overbooked against empty seats in Club. In a pre known overbooking situation Gold card holders would be the first to be upgraded with Silvers following. But not all Gold card holders have the same...

I do, both for Business and Leisure. However saying that I work for BA! As staff I'm not entitled to use the Lounges. The extra legroom and space comes in useful which for me is the main benefit. The cooked breakfasts in First are nice, but I could get something for better in a cafe for a...

It varies but on BA between 40-50% of shorthaul passengers are transferring between flights.

BA has announced 12,000 redundancies. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52462660

Even saw a Russian Air Force An-124 fly over the UK on Planefinder. I kid you not. Normally you can hear those Russian machines a long time after they go over.

Now there are far fewer passenger flights in the sky, other traffic is much more noticeable. There are large numbers of cargo flights in the sky, along with military traffic. There's even a drone patrolling the English channel along with a surveillance aircraft on the look out for illegal...

Not much chance of leisure traffic on the Sleeper. All the pubs and restaurants shut and the Hotels are virtually empty.

There'll be a battle over the LHR slots that Flybe free up. I'm not sure how many they have but they'll be worth millions.

At the time of writing the are still three Flybe aircraft in the air. There won't be any official announcement until the last three flights land. Their website is down as well.

If you don't use one part of the ticket and 'no-show' for the flight then the airline may well cancel the rest of the itinerary.

That has happened in real life. I had a work colleague who flew to New York on one of the last Concorde flights. It delivered a technical fault and diverted to Halifax. BA diverted a New York flight into Halifax to pick up the Concorde flights to finish their journies. She got two free First...
