I nominate this as yesterday's p:eek:st of the day!

Schmuck of the day: the nurse at the surgery center who decided that pushing an empty wheelchair into the elevator before I have a chance to exit said elevator was a good idea. Whatever happened to the common courtesy act of letting the elevator empty out on the ground floor before letting other people enter it??

Hmmm, teh Aero Canadia IAH-FRA fare is an N fare, which earns no miles on BD. Definitely not risking a purchase of that one until I know how CO would credit.

I had one yesterday when I extended common courtesy and was rebuffed. I was leaving the post office and held the door for a woman who was exiting behind me and carrying a child. She purposely walked around me so she could open the other door herself, with no help from me. I figured her Hajib had a lot to do with it. :rolleyes:

Let's play "What Would the Box Do?"
 

I made a reward reservation from JFK-HKG in business of course.

Right now, I am booked on this itinerary
I am thinking of changing to this itinerary because I will be able to continue into China and save on a hotel that I would have needed for one night.
I chose the NW/DL departure because of the possibility of flat seats on the long haul, newer aircraft and better food options. I am not concerned at all with entertainment because I bring my own and almost never watch the AVOD onboard.

I have no experience with KE and would welcome everyone’s opinions.


Would you guys wait until we enter :-: and see what the options are with UA/US/AC ect?

Oh and good moning all!

That 1am departure sucks but if the timing is better I'd probably go for it. I also was wholly unimpressed with KE's business class offering but since you'll be sleeping through it that probably matters less.

Book now and change later for free if necessary.@:-)

Flying in without leaving the airport doesn't count.

I have done this as well.

Still on coffee cup one ...

it 'thread' 1677 a broken record or what? :D

I have heard that it is awful.

There are some trip reports on a.nut, though, which give mixed reviews.

KE's strong suit is running a reliable, on-time operation with very good service and seats in C. The downsides are the ICN C lounge and the C catering. They also swap equipment all the time, which can result in your intra-Asia 777 new C seat being swapped for a 777 or 330 with the old seats.

The 12:50 am JFK-ICN flight will have a very limited first meal, with a larger meal later in the flight. I don't much care for the ultra-late-night departures to Asia, but you have to take what you can get w/r/t reward availability.

That place is a TD (Total Dump)

Yes 1am is quite :rolleyes: but I would be at work all day and head over to the airport at about 9pm, so I will be sleeping most of the flight. How are the seats, were they comfortable to sleep in?


That will not require a redeposit and redemption at the new rates?

Nice of CO to open up Standard F availability on DFW-IAH for the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Saves me spending $$$ on my final leg back from AMS. ^

My understanding of what CO Insider wrote was that it did not require complete redeposit if the origin and destination remained the same. I could have that a little off, though. I'll see if I can find the post.

Is it their seats that get bad reviews, or the service? I just read a review in Business Traveler Magazine that said the seats were good (for angled-flat). As they look identical to SU's, I would expect the hard-product to be one of the better angled-flats out there. I prefer the SU seat to the new AF seat, and to every other angled-flat I have tried (KE, TG, AZ), with the exception of EK.

Ok, I think I had it backwards. If you change carriers, it will require redeposit and reissue at the higher mileage levels. See this post. Cova asked the question originally.
