RE: BA0009 To SYD 4 Hours In Bkk, Help!

If you're travelling all the way through on the BA9, and not transferring onto another flight, the layover shouldn't be anywhere near four hours. Check your reservation details.

In the event of such a lengthy layover, I would suggest waiting in the comfort of the First Class lounge.

RE: AF Upgrades - Check In Or Not?

At my carrier, we occasionally have a parent/parents travelling in a premium cabin and a young child, who needs parental care, travelling in the economy cabin. In this situation, we ask the parent(s) to pay for a premium ticket for their child, or alternatively downgrade and sit in economy.
