Yesterday the Easyjet queue snaked round the zone 5 end of the
departures hall, all the way down the hall and out of the zone 1
entrance. I don't suppose that this is a record!
On the +ve side this was the first time in four years that our flight at
18:45 to Gatwick was not cancelled.

and generally not much more, and doesn't have all the Easyjet
disadvantages.
Oh, and this year has been booked for a family of four on the frequent
flyer miles, so free, which is even better....

Not "free" though, if it's BA, as you still have to pay all the taxes

with real money. Swiss/Lufthansa Miles&More miles allow you to use
miles for the tax parts too.
Anyway, where are you off to - the usual cheepskate Bareges?

You're right, though - some rewards schemes are more generous. OTOH,
Anne and I are both BA Silver, so we get an extra baggage allownace
(very useful, is that), and access to the BA lounge at LHR, plus one
guest each, so that takes care of everything.

Washington to London upgraded to Concorde. Apart from the upgrade I
also got the Concorde airmile allowance. Enough for a return trip to
Zurich with the family.

use the 'other' BA lounge at T5. The one where there's a choice of 5
