So pleased to have paid for seat 2D from DEN to LGA to be welcomed by the following at my seat.
I pointed it out to the FA who came back and handed my a pile of little wipe packs like the ones you get a BBQ restaurant to clean sticky fingers. It was definitely not my expectation that I would be the one to clean what was hopefully a coffee stain... Read More |

I bought r/t ticket on UAL for MFE-BZE on Business Class for someone.
What might be the highlights I can tell him that he will have on this flight compared to economy? I do know he gets to check 2 pieces of luggage for free (included in fare, that is). Read More |

I’m flying back from Japan, and since the less than stellar delta rewards program doesn’t provide upgrades on international flights, I called to buy an upgrade. There are several open seats in Delta one...... they quoted me over $5000 for a one way upgrade......Doesn’t say thanks for your loyalty! So that’s not happening, I... Read More |

I have a flight in J from ARN to DOH coming up shortly on the old fashioned 777 with the 2-2-2 seat layout.
The J cabin is about half full, but with availability remaining for all seat options from rows A to K. I had chosen 3A, and as OWE was hoping to have a free seat next to me. However, QR have decided to let somebody sit next to me, even tho... Read More |

I was on an old Virgin plane last night with inflight entertainment. When I went to take advantage of free texting, the only option I got on my phone was to pay $10.99 for high speed internet. I asked the flight attendant and she basically claimed ignorance of all things technical, and blamed it on the old plane. Old plane with superfast interne... Read More |

Strange one with AS yesterday. Mr. Fink and I flew last week on a B class fare. It was booked last January on the AS website and we were upgraded instantly as U was available. It was a decent price but nothing stellar, just a normal price for this route. We were using a companion cert and B was about $100 more than a GGU-eligible fare class so I ob... Read More |

I have a confession. See, I have a bit of a problem. I have a hard time booking a "normal" trip, even why I try. The closest I came was booking a [URL="https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-reports/1892278-my-struggle-real-10-days-germany-roundtrip-lufthansa-first-class.html"]week long trip to Germany[/URL] earlier this year...but even then I hopped...

Hi all
Just got word a bit earlier today my IAD-LHR flight was cancelled tomorrow; looking at EF I don't see any reason. In any event, I had booked via AA and they were able to get me on an alternate flight that gets me to Europe a bit earlier (if not as conveniently).
Two questions: any idea why they cancelled? It seems odd to cancel 36 hou... Read More |

I am taking a flight next week on AS to Hawaii. Does AS ever discount the fee for selecting premium seats on the trip date (or closer to trip date)?
I looked at the seat map and at the moment, there are lots of premium seats available for selection. The current price is $79/seat, which is a little more than I want to spend. Read More |

I know this is a ‘how long is a piece of string’ question but I’m asking anyway.
I did not retain silver this year as I haven’t flown nearly enough (or at all).
I have an upcoming trip to NY with a side trip booked separately with AA LGA-ORD and back.
I was ‘technically’ silver when I booked as my card runs out on 30/11. What are the chances of... Read More |

Was looking at ways to get back to the U.S. from Costa Rica. Saw this $388 fare for the 5.5 hour flight from Liberia to Boston.
I’m not terribly familiar with JetBlue but seems like a fantastic fare in a lay-flat.

I sometimes travel with one bag, but have a bag within my main bag which I can eject, fill with stuff, and check if I need to. Currently I'm using a very standard cheap soft backpack for that.
Is there something that packs up really small, but which could be checked. I.e. closes securely enough and won't easily break and scatter stuff? But, idea... Read More |
