We just returned from a week away in South Africa, and flew BA LHR-JNB in F both directions having purchased the 2-4-1 tickets last year. It's been a while since I've flown F on a paid ticket, but my expectations I think were reasonable and informed. So what was the reality?
On the ground:

Two of these arriving this year and one next year, as we all know.
Is there any word on the configuration of these yet?
Will they have F cabins?
Will the F cabins have 8 "new" seats like the 789s? Or more new F seats?
Will the J cabins feature the new Club World seat?
Will the Y cabins be 10 abreast?
I had read somewhere that once... Read More |

We booked this ticket through American Airlines but all flights are operated by BA.
They are booked in the (I) and (J) class but BA is wanting $134 dollars each to select seats in business class.
Is this standard? We've never flown on a BA Codeshare flight.
Thanks Read More |

I went with my three daughters to check in to a flight this morning. It turns out that one daughter was under her own record, and the other three of us were on another. I knew this beforehand, so I asked a phone agent to join the records. I was assured that they were joined. When I went to the kiosk to check in at the airport, I was able to get boa... Read More |

I've been a reader on this forum for about 15 years and fly Delta exclusively, but this is my first post on here.
Last night on the final leg of our trip from Singapore (DTW-CVG), they asked for volunteers to get bumped. They were offering $600 each, a hotel stay, and a flight out first thing in the morning. My wife and I volunteered and they... Read More |

I saw this on the BA site - If you are travelling on a hand baggage only (Basic) fare, checking in baggage costs extra. However, if you’re [url=https://www.britishairways.com/en-us/information/family-travel/baggage]travelling with an infant or a child[/url] up to 11 years old, you can check two items, such as a [url=https://www.britishairways.com/e...

One of the less comfortable feelings on longer flights is the dehydration. I tend to drink plenty (of water... post-meal anyway!) from onboard & drinks brought with me, but it never feels great. Curious what other travellers do to combat dehydration.
Also, does anyone know when the ice typically runs out? (Notice the 2nd meal services never have... Read More |

When I fly regular Y as MVPG, I almost always have my status recognized and am thanked for my loyalty.
In first or premium, I never have.

I cant seem to find a thread in this. But lately AA seems to have gone INSANE with First Class pricing.
For example I'm seeing MIA-Tpa at over $900 when the plane has only four fc seats. The coach fare is typically $120.
I flew from MIA to Chicago... AA wanted $1,000+ in FC united $366.
I need to fly MIA to SAT... im seeing $1,500 to $2050 in... Read More |

Looking for some help... I have a friend trying to get out of Haiti on AC1815 PAP-YUL today (Feb 18). It shows as scheduled, but AC1814 YUL-PAP has been cancelled. I'm assuming this is the same plane...
Any idea if AC1815 is likely to go? I'd like to avoid someone making the risky trip to the airport if it isn't happening.... Read More |

Hi, does anyone know if BAEC silver members get a free hold bag for basic economy fares? The website says that the free 2 checked bags for everyone travelling in your booking in economy does not apply for basic fares, but I'm not sure if this means it's only not applicable for the other people on the booking.
Thanks Read More |
