Travelling on my own dime on BA11 from LHR-SIN last week (hand baggage fare for a long weekend trip). I was assigned a window seat at the back of the plane on the lower deck. It’s not great having to climb over up to two people for 13 hours, but that’s the luck of the draw - or so I thought.
As usual, I was offered to select my seat (and pay £59... Read More |

Two recent events are making me question whether I should continue booking using United.com/United app. The first, of my own making, is a decision to cancel my Presidential Plus credit card and move to a cash back card. The second, of the airline’s making, is the discontinuation of the United.com club. I used to get extra miles and five bucks per r... Read More |

Excuses for flying with one of the ME3. I can’t quite remember exactly why I chose to take the scenic route! I think it was because I couldn’t find redemption flights on LON-CPT, using the BA/Amex 2-4-1 companion voucher, as I was a bit late in looking. Anyway:
[1] Qatar (QR) seemed a bit cheaper than BA;
[2] It would make an interesti... Read More |

There’s a new article out on View from the Wing that AA is making food and beverage service cuts on narrowbody non-A321T routes. I’m not sure what else was offered, but it sounds like now it’ll just be regular domestic service.

My wife and I are spending two weeks in Australia in January and I'm looking for a bit of advice, mainly to make sure I'm on the right track. Our flights and hotels have been booked for a while, but we have some flexibility on our day-to-day plans. All tours booked are refundable, so I can change things up. With that said, it's our first time in Au... Read More |

Hi all, I booked a room and requested an upgrade as normal, however the hotel emailed and said there is an additional charge as it’s going from the top level room to a suite. They say they only upgrade from lower room category to higher room category. Is this normal or is this a consequence of the new suite night upgrade perk? Read More |

I'm in the process of setting up a family vacation cashing in some jokers and lots of Avios, and am considering somewhere like Phuket in August. This would ideally (but not necessarily) see us transit through BKK. And almost everything about that route seems to have hugely negative press here. Would I want to fly through a different Asian airport?... Read More |

If I did the math correctly that is 5300 MQD's? I read that preimum economy on air france is 30%. I can still cancel (I think) so if I have this incorrect please let me know s... Read More |

I tried to search for it but couldn't find an answer (maybe I am not using the right terms).
If I use hotel transportation (for a charge Billed to my room), do I get points for it?
I looked up Marriott Bonvoy terms but couldn't find anything making it a qualifying or non-qualifying charge.
Thanks :) Read More |

Currently at Heathrow, booked on BA418/9 to and from LUX tonight, in CE
attempted to change to 416/7 in the gold wing but told 416 is full. It’s showing on expertflyer as Y4 and everything else zeroed.
Have I got any options? I’m assuming the Y4 is an overselling limit, but I seem to recall some sort of gold benefit allowing guaranteed seat o... Read More |

Parking at Gatwick for a BA flight, in MMB I can book parking, however when it says check your details, it gives the exact departure and arrival flight times.
As you have to arrive a few hours before departure and on returning could be up to an hour after landing to get to the car park.
Normally, if booking direct, I would factor these times... Read More |

Not the usual suspects that are always recognized as amongst the best in the world, or perennially on top-50 or top-100 lists? For example, one of my absolute favorites would be Hotel Kamp in Helsinki. I go several times/year, the staff are always wonderful. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and have nice bathtubs (a big point for me). The... Read More |

I happened to snag a pretty decent deal on a two legs of a return trip in a 777-200LR w/d1 suites, but coded as domestic first - LAX-ATL and ATL-JFK. D284 and d244. The plane looks like it's basically empty (though it's still a while out) and I think at least one of those legs isn't a regularly scheduled flight (can't find it on other days of the w...

I am GGL this year (TP end year on Dec 8th), and have qualified for GGL next year, ie through Dec 8th 2020 as well.
Looking ahead, I can predict I will not requalify for 2021, given changes at work. My travel may be so limited that I will likely not even qualify for Gold.
Thinking about the most efficient use of partner cards in this case--a... Read More |
