Just doing some math here, and discovered that my next UA itinerary will put me at 99,559 miles and exactly $15,000 PQD.
So I can replace an upcoming 8k mile intra-Europe award flight with a $410 P fare on LX, which would put me at 100,059 miles and exactly $15,000 PQD. Would anyone else be tempted to trade 8k UA miles for $410 just for... Read More |

Welcome staff has nothing to do, beyond pointing clients to BP readers. Maybe the reason that they did not see a guy, just behind them, literally and meticulously filling 3 carry-on luggage with everything he could get from the catering section.

How do these compare?
Does AMEX not show all the flights?
I recently made reservations using both. Chase gave me lowest fare that I was able to find. But AMEX did not + a small cash fee. Overall I paid 30% more.
You can also use Expedia and use MR points - so there are many ways here.
Any tips on using these? Read More |

Had my 14J/K booked on EK017 for a while now.
Went to check tonight and we have been moved to 15J/K as its now a 2 class rather than the usual 3 class.
Think there are bassinet seats in row 16 which is why I have always avoided booking 15 or in a 3 class I avoid row 20.
Oh well!
I feel sorry for those who were booked into First. Read More |
