Thanks BA (not)

you seem to have dropped the LGW-DUS flights.

Guess I'll be trekking to LHR again (sob,sob)

True.

False. If you have a ticket which will work the Underground barriers
(most of them will) you can travel by foot tunnel, and then the entire
length of the Victoria Line platform, and the tube station escalators.

In the timeframe mentioned, this is just not true.

At least, that's according to the people actually building the St
Pancras International station, who seem to think that project includes
(and I quote) "the construction of a new sub-surface station for the
Thameslink 2000 cross-London regional rail service and connections to
the London Underground".

>> Thameslink, on the Gatwick->Bedford line.

As I said: Get on train. Get off at Kings Cross/St. Pancras.

OK OK - I'll do that - but will they give me FF miles ?
and movies,
and food,
and run on time,
and keep me waiting for 14 hours stuck in a tunnel.
and have a fair price

(that BA LHR-DUS is over 400 GBP for the times I want to go - I guess they
have some new people in Rev Man and are learning how to catch the business
traveller again)

I must look at the LH/BMI prices (but I may need the BA miles for my AA gold
challenge)

I also spotted the BA sale of LGW-PAR for 65 GBP.
and when I came to book it - it was 61.90 GBP
I guess they have some new people in Marketting as well - lol

Well, they *are* building it...

Given that as of 8 days ago it was a *large* hole between Kings Cross
and St Pancras, with people working in it and everything, I think the
risk is slight.

I realize you are desperately trying to mask your errors in this
thread, but even by the standards we've come to expect from you,
you're grasping at straws...
