  Any idea what a central London to LHR freenow taxi would be, pre-discount?

  • Rob says:

    9 Oct9 October 09:46

    £75 is a ball park figure.

    • Alex M says:

      And wheely is £50 fixed. Guess who I would use.

      • Rob says:

        9 Oct9 October 12:27

        To CENTRAL London? ie Leicester Square? That is remarkably good given the cars they use.

        • Alex M says:

          9 Oct9 October 13:30

          I checked and it was £60 to Leicester square (I assumed it was £50 fixed anywhere in London).

        Wheely was £75 last week from South Kensington to LHR.

• Ant says:

  I have the Wheely £25 offer, get 15% and Free Now 40%.
  Anyone has an idea how much a black cab or Wheely costs from Bank to City airport?

  Thanks

  • Rob says:

    9 Oct9 October 10:19

    £25 at a guess in a black cab? But if you’re at Bank you might as well take the direct DLR – I always do.

  • Bob says:

    wheely is similarly priced to uber black.

  Perhaps the name change to FREE NOW is to align it with other Daimler-BMW transport services such as Drive Now (which, as it happens, recently rebranded to SHARE NOW). Whatever next? Could we see a Daimler-BMW acquisition of HfP and subsequent rebrand to POINTS NOW?

  • Michael says:

    I think they need to STOP NOW.

    • Shoestring says:

      9 Oct9 October 10:26

      How about GO NOW?

      Or am I thinking of Boris?

  uswitch is also a site to check .I’m on a uswitch SSE exclusive tariff for gas at 2.3p/Kwh. Not now available,

• Rui N. says:

  Thanks Shoestring. I always forget about the Citizens Advice comparison tool. Just found out that E.On (my current supplier) shows a tariff there that would save me £90 per year compared to what I currently pay (they don’t show that tariff as a option on “my account”; I’m supposedly on the cheapest tariff according to that). Just sent an email asking for the same tariff or I’ll abandon them.

  The BA173 is showing as a B744 in January instead of a B772. Maybe the flight changes or the timetable hasn’t been updated fully?

  • TGLoyalty says:

    9 Oct9 October 10:27

    I actually thought it was meant to be the 1.30 flight which arrives around 4pm but perhaps there was a last min change.

  • Max says:

    9 Oct9 October 10:30

    Just checked EF and it seems that the B772 with the Club Suite changes to the BA177 from 31 October and then to the BA175 from December.

  Avios.com: for some reason it doesn’t recognise my old ID and password and the AL competition sign up from last week wasn’t recognising my password either. But attempting to reset password on avios.com site doesn’t yield any reset emails. Anyone else having this problem?

  • LB says:

    9 Oct9 October 11:05

    I tried to log into Avios on Saturday with no luck. I had to change my password but no problems with that.

    I can’t access combine my avios. It just says that my session has expired

  OT: can anyone suggest how to get back to the midlands on a Sunday evening at 9pm from London city?
  I’d hire a car but I am not sure if anything is open at 9pm at LCY?
  Any suggestions greatly received, it’s 2 adults and 2 children

    Virgin Trains operate a regular service from Euston.

    • Yuff says:

      9 Oct9 October 10:52

      Train won’t be suitable, it needs to be by car….

      • Yuff says:

        9 Oct9 October 14:53

        Might work if the flight isn’t delayed.
        We are away for 17 nights and coming down via train on to Paris on Eurostar, so leaving my car somewhere isn’t viable.
        I need to get close to Stamford and the 2 children have school the next day.
        Hire car would be the best option

      • Yuff says:

        Evil doctor

        Looks like you can pay an out of hours surcharge…so europcar looking good, thanks for the tip 😉

    Hire a car on your outward journey and leave it at lcy ready for your return?
    Arrange with someone like Enterprise that will, for a fee, deliver the car to you?
    Stay a night in a hotel there and continue on next morning with car from airport or delivered to/ arranged by hotel?
    Or… gasp… bring own car to airport?

    Where in the Midlands?

    It’s a vast area from Oxford in the South through to Derby in the North, Hereford in the West and Grimsby in the East

    The Tube runs all through the night from Victoria to Oxford.

    • Mary Berry says:
