Just a light hearted discussion with my now wife prompted me to post on here.
We’re both young - but travel a lot for work. Whilst we were dating I was always extremely jealous of my girlfriends BA status - although it made travelling with her a pleasure it was always her status that provided the luxuries.
Thanks to the help on here during ou... Read More |

We are a couple returning from DXB-LHR on a 4-class 777-200. Currently booked into WT.
As gold members, if we reserve an aisle and window seat is it likely that BA will eventually block the middle seat? We have done this provisionally and strangely Expert Flyer is NOT showing the middle seat between us as "blocked" at the moment.
We've got a POUG... Read More |

Hi all
I’ve just noticed that tomorrow’s QR 816 DOH-HKG has changed to non Q-Suites. I’m flying ARN-DOH DOH-HKG.
DOH-HKG now looks like it’s the 777 with 2-2-2 configuration. I’ve been put in a window seat which I would never have chosen myself. J looks like it’s full with no option online to change seat.
The 777 looks dreadful with no... Read More |

I'm fairly new around here so they may have tried it however I have flown a few routes recently where there were there were numerous empty seats in CW/CE and F.
Surely they would rather earn from these seats and wouldn't the bid to upgrade be a good way of doing this? I just think its criminal to have these seats empty!
I'm guessing their v... Read More |

I was in the process of cancelling a one night reservation I had for next Friday when I noticed the 14 day cancellation policy. What?!??!? When did that start? I've stayed at the same hotel before and I have future reservations at the same place and all have the usual 2 day cancellation.
So, be careful out there. It will sneak up on you. Read More |

We are due to fly back from Beirut on Tuesday with BA.
Due to the ongoing protests, the airport road gets blocked every-now and then with burning tires.
We will aim to arrive 3 hours early to the airport but according to the consulate, when the road is blocked, its blocked - no way through, except walking through the fire and smoke with your lu... Read More |

I don’t really want to derail my other thread so I’ll ask here. If the airfare to both CAN and SZX is the same, which airport would you rather fly to if you have a 2, 4, or 8 hour layover?
I think both airports are connected to the subway system; but is there one that is better than the other?
FWIW, I am DL Gold, which means I have ST E+. So... Read More |

I hope this is not a dumb question. Now that WiFi is readily available on flights does that mean that people with phones capable of WiFi Calling are going to be able to make and receive calls while in flight? I can see that being annoying. Even if your phone is in "airplane" mode you need to turn the WiFi back on to use the Internet so I am gu... Read More |

There have been a lot of questions in the main thread about the status qualification change regarding how to earn PQP when flying on partner tickets, so I thought I would start a new thread and wiki for that since it's a small piece of the overall change. That is, on pain of laying out too clearly to United how to game the system... (however AA and... Read More |

This offer has appeared in the last few days on various platforms.
Whilst this looks like a good offer to these who can use it - I observe that mostly the cheaper destinations to book a premium flight has been excluded in the terms and conditions. Fair enough.

Just called in. I was told I could wait, or try the new chat option. Basically you chat with a learning AI via text. Same as the new option in DL App. It acknowledged it's "dumb" but learning.
Basically instant Twitter support but with AI instead of human replying. Anyone have any luck/problems with it? Read More |

Thought I’d drop a note here to ask the BA and LHR experts here as.
Have been contemplating booking a GIB - LHR on BA and then LHR - BKK on TG, with a 2hr transit time.
Problem is that my agent refuses to book me a through ticket on one PNR saying it’s not possible, and as such I need to DIY the GIB - LHR portion.

I’m looking at a fare to SGN. According to Expedia, the first segment is a codeshare with CI and it’s H-fare. The second segment is operated by VN and it’s Y-fare. The return is the same. So for the codeshare flight, since both VN and CI are Skyteam carriers, I’m assuming I’ll earn miles on that segment? The difference here is that VN H-fare earns... Read More |

My girlfriend is visiting her mother in Zurich, and will be booking a round-trip ticket to fly home from Zurich to San Francisco.

So she typically specifies an arbitrary "return" flight date that is abo... Read More |
