Hoping to see some United adverts springing up soon, although I'm surprised at the amount of people who know! Family friend who is over this week lives in New York but has a child in Gateshead so he comes over 5+ times a year, going to see him later this week so if he doesn't already know he'll be chuffed! He's tried pretty much every transatlantic offering you could think of but also has a lot of loyalty points on BA but he said he'd throw it all in for a direct flight.
