Refunds from BA and Virgin

This week British Airways and Virgin Atlantic start the ‘refund advertising campaign’. Both airlines were ordered to do so by US court who found them guilty of fix surcharges.

Passengers who travelled long-haul flights with BA or Virgin Atlantic between August 11, 2004, and March 23, 2006, might be able to claim between £4 and £20 for a return trip for a ticket purchased in the UK and between $7 and $34 for the US.

British Airways increases fares by up to £60

More grim news on flights prices. From 3rd of June, British Airways will increase their surcharges due to soaring fuel prices.

The surcharges on long-haul flights over nine hours will increase by £30 each way and on long-haul flights under nine hours will rise by £15 each way. The short-haul surcharge will rise by £3 per each way.

Naked flight

Happy news for you, if you are free on 5th July, fancy visiting Usedom, have spare $735 and are… a nudist!

German travel agency Makotel GmbH starts today taking bookings for a trial nudist flight from the eastern German town of Erfurt to the popular Baltic Sea resort of Usedom.

The 50 nudist passengers will pass through the airport clothed and then undress before embarking. The cabin crew will remain clothed "for safety reasons".

The mind boggles when thinking of the “safety reasons” involved :D

Similarly, from 1st of May, there will be an extra flight on Fridays to Malta from Manchester.
