How Do You Find British Airways Club Suites?
If you're redeeming Avios for British Airways business class, you probably want to end up in one of their new Club Suites rather than the older seats. The problem is that BA's website doesn't tell you which aircraft or seat type you're booking when you search for award availability. You just see "Business Class" and have to hope for the best. Or, you can do some manual detective work to figure out what you're actually getting (some of us plane nerds may in fact enjoy this). F

"Don't Call It a Comeback, I've Been Here For Years" - Has British Airways Got it's Swagger Back?
I’m, not saying they’re perfect, but hear me out. British Airways was once the gold standard of aviation - flying with the slogan "The World's Favourite Airline". Then came decades of cost-cutting, IT disasters, catering fiascos, and a general sense that the airline had given up trying. BA became shorthand for past glory, the kind of brand that survives on geographic position, and corporate contracts rather than anyone actively choosing to fly with them. Now, after years of d

Why Do Airbus Planes Sound Like They're Barking? - You Don't Need to Open the Emergency Exits...
You've probably heard it, that peculiar barking sound from an Airbus A320 (flown by easyJet, Jet2 BA, etc), usually just as you've settled in for a pleasant flight. It sounds rather like an indignant dog has taken up residence in the cabin. Rest assured, there is no dog. The noise is perfectly normal, though that may or may not be comforting depending on your attitude towards strange noises onboard aircraft. What I would say though, is don't be like this passenger who wanted
