I've just been reading how EVA Air and Starlux have recently been offering pleasure flights - around three hours duration but with incredible onboard service with Michelin-starred meals and flying at a lower height to enjoy the views. With 188 tickets apparently selling out in minutes Starlux have said they'll do it regularly. What are the chanc... Read More

UA Twitter is teasing that some new route announcements could be made around 3:15pm CDT today, August 12. One of their subsequent replies indicates that these routes are entirely domestic. Any guesses in the next 45 minutes?! [ame]https://twitter.com/united/status/1293581214914404357[/ame] Read More

As others know, unlike BA, BA Holidays have a policy of automatically cancelling and refunding your booking if one flight has been cancelled. At the start of the policy in the spring, they used to send you an email about it and you could then at least try and call them and reverse their default policy of cancelling if you wanted something else....

I had to cancel two flights today. Normally I have the option to credit the value of the flights to My Wallet. I did not have that option today. The only two choices were to refund the original form of payment, or to receive a voucher by email. Has anyone else noticed this? I hope the ability to credit refunds to My Wallet returns. It is a...

Hello, I am just off to the phone to British Airways Gold Line. My Warsaw-London flight has got cancelled so have been given an option of full refund or changing the flights. I want to change the flight to the later flight however will miss my connection ( on the same booking) to Edinburgh. And the next connection is the following day. T... Read More

I cannot seem to find this anywhere so I am posting this question here: Is the tourist travel ban for the EU based on what passport you are holding or where the plane originated? For example, I hold a US passport but am a permanent resident of Korea and have a Korean resident card (in Korean). If I fly from Korea and present my US passport of... Read More

I am hoping someone may be able to provide some insight on my situation: I am a Canadian citizen, resident and passport holder, will be the US on a B1 visa for work. Will enter the US, spend 3 days and then fly United from Newark to Munich (transit of 3 hours) and then Lufthansa from Munich to Athens, stay in Athens for 10 days and then fly back... Read More

Hello all, I've been trying to redeem a flight down to London next month, but I was so surprised to see the usual 4500 avios redemptions for EDI-LON price at 9000 avios? For instance the following return itinerary is pricing at 18000 avios(!!!) has anybody noticed this...

Just noted that for an upcoming WLG-CHC-WLG 22-24 Aug trip that all fares appears to be set to the same level. Likewise for the following week WLG-AKL-WLG. It almost seems like AirNZ has decided to set fares at some kind of mid-point fare given the current uncertainty. seems unbelievable that each flight would have the same fare class availabi...

I had mileage tickets on hold for my wife as well as myself, and booked them on the 5th day. (international trip) I also bought a ticket for another person traveling with us (right after booking our tickets) under their AA account. I saw several days later that the reservation had disappeared from my phone, and I cannot pull it up using the record... Read More

So I booked LGW ANU for October out PE and return Club world as redemption flights. Availability opened up so booked CW both directions with the avios team have prebooked seats, but the luggage allowance on the outbound leg is showing as no checked luggage return is as expected 2x32lb bags. Is this a ticketing glitch and do I need to worry ? Read More

On August 27th I fly BA0099 LHR-YYZ. I made a seat selection that had little leg room (because my employer only pays for the cheapest flight selection), and then had to call BA on Skype last Thursday (and waited 42 minutes for help) to select an exit row window seat. 30K was selected and paid for at a cost of 58 GBP. No issue as WT+ was too expens... Read More

Not having flown at all in recent months, I just noticed that on an upcoming reservation, set to go over to airport control shortly, all the aisle seats in the "regular economy" rows of an Embraer 175 have now, suddenly, all been blocked. I assume this is evidence of some attempt at enforcing "social distancing" and to limit the chances of unrel... Read More

Given the current C19 situation, and the grounding of both fleet, staff, and passengers, surely there would be a market for SIN-SIN flights, maybe total duration 1-2 hours, enough to sample food and enjoy the views and service, and give air enthusiasts an opportunity to get their 'fix' while a vaccine is found. Thoughts? Read More

Hi. I have a booking covered by the book with confidence policy. If I phone to potentially rebook, can the BA agent confirm specific seat numbers during the call before cancelling the originally booked flights? I can't see why not, but I was told a couple of weeks ago that they couldn't. Seems odd. Maybe they were working from home and had limited... Read More
