So instead of improving their hard product and customer service, they just ban loyalty customers who don’t like mediocre offerings. Not a good look.

So if you want to cancel your account – you don’t need to call, chat or send a secure message? You just need to trash them online? I wish all companies were like this.

I guess rapid testing makes lots of sense because they can bake costs into the ticket price and when it’s no longer needed just leave price higher – instant profit margin with little PR risk. I’m kinda surprised Spirit/Frontier and their ilk didn’t try this first, they could have made a killing testing people before deboarding.

Finland is trialing using Covid sniffing dogs. Rapid and noninvasive.

People got fired for saying the emperor is a treasonous bastard in the US. And the spineless sycophants kept quiet, but normally cackle about law and order.

All power to BA. Do whatever you want.

Why can’t Amex/Chase Platty/CSR have this as a travel benefit:

Includes X number of COVID mail in test (you pay the over night mail fee – they negotiate a bulk reduced lab test fee ). Since these are travel cards.

We get it free – with our KP insurance and 12-24 hour turn around – but not everybody provider has quick turnaround.
