A new UK-first pilot scheme is aiming to create fast & more reliable train WiFi, using technology originally developed for Formula 1 cars.
DoT has secured £41m to introduce LEO satellite connectivity on all mainline trains by 2030, so let's hope it's a success & gets rolled out quickly. 🤞

Also, most airlines allow you to pool your checked-in luggage allowance... providing all passengers on the PNR check in together.
Check in separately and if one of you is overweight you can't make use of the other person's un-used allowance.
Check in separately and if one of you is overweight you can't make use of the other person's un-used allowance.
Sounds like the mistake most couples & families make - each having their own item of checked luggage. 😱
Mix it all up - then if a case is delayed arriving at your destination, you’ve still got clothes and are less inconvenienced. 😎

Remember Brunchgate?
BA decided to drop brunch because "passenger needs have rapidly changed in several months, prompting the reversal".
So customers used to want breakfast for lunch, but it suddenly became unfashionable and they started wanting meat, fish and pasta again. 😂
