Spoiled by frequent flying

[bktheirregular]

Doing another run Stateside at the end of the month, for a week. I realized I've been sort of spoiled by my frequent-flyer status on British Airways, which allowed me to choose my seat any time between booking my ticket and formal check-in ... until this year, when I didn't get enough points racked up and got punted from Silver level to Bronze. That means they now charge for choosing early seating. (Until seven days before my flight, at which point I get to choose my seat for free.)

I'm not sure but what they may be cranking up the requirements to maintain a frequent flyer level. And the practice of nickeling-and-diming passengers is getting worse as time goes on.

First world problems, I know.

I wonder what Heathrow Airport is going to be like at the end of the month, with the whole Brexit imbroglio in full swing.
