Which is best: the BA Cabin Upgrade or Companion Voucher?
There are two vouchers that dominate the UK Avios redemptions, and most confusion starts when people assume they are interchangeable. They aren’t.

British Airways might sit on shiny new aircraft elsewhere in the fleet, but this early morning Club Europe run to Lisbon played out on a slightly worn, 11-year-old A320. Did I get a hot breakfast or a cold plate of fruit?

In 3 decades, business class has transformed from a slightly fancy economy seat with a cloth headrest cover into a flying hotel room. Has the real cost of seats kept pace with that change, or leapt into a different price bracket altogether?

SeatGuru is gone ☹️ For two decades, it was the bible for frequent flyers trying to dodge misaligned windows, and seats beside a toilet. After years of neglect, TripAdvisor has closed SeatGuru, ending one of the internet’s most beloved travel tools.
