pie-eater 207 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Sadly, more and more if you don't cough up extra to "choose your seats", there's sod all choice left to choose from. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I noticed that. More people doing it, so... more people doing it, so.... more people doing it, so.... less choice if you wait until online checkin. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 From now on, I'm just going to think of that as part of the cost. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yep. All the more reason to get the best possible. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yes unfortunately the BA flight is now a 777 --- no upper deck. Upper deck ROCKS. Feels well posh. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Nice for the airlines to find a completely new source of revenue from something that was already there and costing them absolutely nothing! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yes, it is. Caught on quick as well. Everyone wants the best seat they can especially on a long flight. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Xmas flights are going for a song - 60k with virgin if you leave on the 20th Dec.... Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Just went through it MiJ and the fare was 65000 plus 65,510 in taxes etc. Shame. I once got Virgin years ago for under 80000 in autumn, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The flight is 50,000 yen. madam. Would you like some fuel with that? And perhaps a seat? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 When did all these mad add-on charges start? I'm pretty sure I remember going back in February once for about 85,000 all included. Don't think it was more than 5 or 6 years back. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 yeah i was excited by that as well, return to edinburgh was only 80k.....then all the charges!! 150k....wtf??!! Double the price....eh no I'll pass thanx. Definitely Pies, I got a return flight in July for 85-90k 7 or 8 years ago Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yes, I have once flown back in a very unpeak time for less than 80K. I seem to recall the flight being just under 50K and the add-ons taking up to just under 80. Link to post Share on other sites
