Criminal Convictions - Entry into UK

Yes you can get to pay for your own deportation ticket so doing the legitimate way is the only sensible option. Good luck with your re-try as family trips are important.

I've always wondered about that. Say you arrive sans-CC, how are they going to get you to pay for the ticket? And if they hold you until you can it may as well be indefinitely as you're not working while you're in detention

Do you get a choice of carrier... if there are options that is. Can you pay for Business/First and enjoy the benefits that class provides (I presume they wouldn't allow you to use the lounge). Is it possible to use points?

The carrier that transported you to the country you're being deported from is responsible for taking you back. And usually on the next departing flight. So middle seat in row 99 is probably the best you're getting. Don't count on a special meal either.

This is because the points upgrades have already been processed and most likely no J seats left unless you pay up front.

Travelling 4 deep from the aisle in row 99 sounds tough and waiting in detention living on English bread and English water would be tougher. That Thames water has been drunk 14 times before (someone told me this after drinking about a dozen pints of beer so it may really be only 12 times).The English can exaggerate a bit.

Fly to France and walk across the tunnel like everyone else ;-) It's open day!

Passengers who are refused entry or are being deported have a special code in the manifest. They are supposed to be seated at the back of the aircraft and dealt with differently. So it is unlikely that they could choose to fly business or first. However I have never been in this situation myself. I only know about the codes from helping my friend study for his annual safety ops tests.

I sat next to a guy in J on a NRT-ORD flight who had been refused entry to Japan due to an expired (or possibly not enough validity) passport. So it's entirely possible.

That's "inadmissible", usually for some harmless technical reason, a different category from refused entry or deported (or so I am reliably informed).

Was still carried at the airline's expense as they should have checked at point of origin. Although IIRC he was on a work trip and had likely paid for J in the first place.

And an airline can always chose to depart from its own procedures, and may well do so with a premium passenger.
