In BA club you can, each seat has two plug in sockets. That will operate a CPAP.

Gawd what an awful flight over to London with Transat. Also sat next to the fattest man and his fatter wife. Should of tapped him up for a third of my fare seeing as he had that much of my seat. Awful.

Flying back on Saturday but have two together thank god. Where did those three weeks go

I booked AC online via Kayak saving about $100 on the direct booking; would have been $160 but there was a bolloxy option to change your ticket on the same day (fat use as I was booking at 8pm) which I forgeot to click no to so they scalped me $60 for that.

Good old wild west online.

Just compared BA and Iceland Air, about same price for business class but from Edmonton with BA i have to go via Calgary and heathrow to get to manchester, with iceland air i go from edmonton to iceland to manchester, a lot quicker for same price. Just for future reference and i would have to ask iceland air if they have mains power.
FYI a lot of the BA business is already selling out even for september lol

I know quite a few people who have also done 2-3 day layovers in Iceland as it comes at no extra cost, then you get an extra little holiday out of it. It's something we are going to take advantage of down the road.

I *think* it's if your layover is less than 96 hours then it's no extra cost. Might be 72 hours. But there's definitely a cap and if you book your flights like that as a layover then there's not an extra cost. Good luck!

Also Reykjavic is fierce expensive, but worth a day mooching around especially if you get to see the allnight sunlight in summer.

BA does not do business class. There is World Traveler (Economy), WT Plus (old business class seats, has power outlets, make sure you have the correct adaptor), Club World (power outlets and bed/seats), First. Power outlet adaptors are provided no extra cost for Club and First.

Prices range in the order of for Vancouver to London round trip in August for 1 adult:

Economy $1500
Eco Plus $2000
Club $5500
First $7000-10000

Its a layover of up to 7 days at no extra cost, the standard seats have 1 USB port for power. Saga class has a power outlet.

They are my favourite airline to use for flying between here and the UK for a few reasons : I adore Iceland (I lived there for a while, and got married there earlier this year) so I almost always take advantage of the layover opportunity, including for a couple of days last week . Secondly, no paying extra for an extra-legroom emergency exit row seat like most other airlines, great for us as my husband is 6'5" and needs all the space he can get! Lastly, their standard luggage allowance is still 2 x 23kg suitcases for transatlantic flights, which is certainly more generous than most other airlines.

They fly out of Edmonton direct to Iceland then on to the UK. Others I've used leap frog around Canada first which adds a lot to the journey time.
