How early can one check bags for AY62 @HND? The standard 3 hours? There is self service bag drop but apparently AY is not using it

True, it doesn‘t need to be on flights, it can also be on points.

I assume he wanted to say something like this:

It used to be different, but this is how it is today.

What is the best way to search for OW partner awards, JL, CX, BA, QF, in F?
Expertflyer works only with QF, so need to enroll in the other programs to see from them? I really dont trust AY it to have anything showing since they cant have own s*it together even (and cant choose F).

You can make a BAEC account and use the BA search to look for all awards. I believe the award space on OW partner airlines should be the same as for AY+.

The ”points pending” does not mean anything.

As a reference point for AY flights it usually takes 2-3 days to post but it can take longer. So if the points from the QF flight didn‘t post within of 2 weeks, I would fill out the form or ask CS.

Noticed Alaskan has a fairly good booking system to check for awards also. Alaska also offers award F LHR-LAX/SFO on days when BAEC doesnt offer to own members.

So in future you need to take a time stamp selfie each time you take the bus

I recommend to take a brief look at the tablet when you say your name to see if your name is flagged green.

I am a little bit worried that one time the wrong name is selected. It would be great if they would allow to scan the bar/QR code.

A little help please. Struggling to find the answer.

Booked EDI - HEL - EDI in January.

Finnair have changed the flight times by 10 minutes on each of the flights. Even though the ticket is Economy Lite, does this give us the ability to alter/cancel the flights due to a change in timings?

Thanks in advance!
