I know there has been a great deal of discussion on this forum regarding upgrade priority. As a recent MM, but only a Gold, I've gotten upgrades to FC three days before departure on my most recent flights. Granted, they are mid-week but the LAX-MSP upgrade has really surprised me. Does being a MM make a difference?

[left]Because there are nonstop flights on United from DEN to LIH, I’ve been checking to see if any award flights are available for July 2020. I’ve read on this forum they may not be released until a lot closer to July , but when they do release them, are they typically made available first to Explorer CC holders ? I have 210,000 Chase points but d... Read More |

I am planning an Ex-EU itinerary to get a cheaper overall trip, but I'd like some help understanding the risks and options to mitigate/fix any issues.
I will be travelling alone, in CW, with no checked luggage.
I haven't yet fixed an EU starting point, but I'll use AMS as a working example, since that is one real possibility showing good fare... Read More |

not just on United, but on any airline.

[left]So I found out that Hilton staff have their own Hilton Honours program. They get stay credits even on staff rates and get recognised as Gold or Diamond members too. I don’t mind or care if they have this privilege. But I do mind when they can compete with full fare paying guests when getting upgrades.
i was a little peeved when I was stayi... Read More |

But then i get an error message saying they couldn't complete the process and to try again or call in. BUT i got charged the $19. I guess it might be something wit... Read More |

I have a question:
I stupidly missed the great ex-Paris Club World sale to the States last month. I need to fly to New York on October 21st, and back from LA on November 12th, and would ideally do so on a commercial J ticket (to upgrade to F with a GUF1). Very happy to do so from anywhere in Europe, but all of my usual, cheap starting points - A... Read More |

[left]While spending 15 minutes cooling my heels waiting for the shuttle bus between Terminal 3 and Terminal B at LAX, I was staring at a sign advertising transfers “upon request” for Delta One and 360 Diamond Medallion members... but no one around to ask about it.
Does anyone know if this is really a thing?

[left]Hi,
So the wife wife and I have return flights booked in WTP in Nov (LHR to SFO rtn).
Total cost £873ea (technically £793ea as we reduced the cost using some Avios).
Logging into the app I can see there’s a limited time offer to upgrade the outbound to Business for £567ea which seems incredibly cheap. Not sure if they’re trying to fr... Read More |

Currently at the RC in Bali and noticed that even though the hotel rooms are non smoking, the balconies are not and it is making it unbearable for someone who has asthma. Anything the hotel should do about it? Spoke to the manager and he suggested we call back once we smell the smoke again, is he going to tell the other guests to kindly stop smokin... Read More |

Hi,
I have a round trip from LAX to CDG. Outbound is AA operated by Air Tahiti Nui. Return is BA, which is on strike the day we are to fly. BA cancelled the flight. Expedia is the agent. I immediately booked a back up flight for the return using miles on LH which I will cancel if I can work something else out. I then called Expedia.... Read More |

Looking to book some labor day weekend flights (a week ahead) for 3 of us. Granted, 32.5K miles each way is super high but saves me the cash (195K miles). But no real plan to use until late 2020 and with mileage Nov 19 coming..who knows. That being said when booking award tickets, can we get economy plus seats with our Gold tie... Read More |

Far from jumping on the bandwagon, I luckily managed to get a revised flight back to London from Miami +2 days after my cancelled flight on 9/9. The BA call handler pointed me to BA's compensation webpage and said I may be able to claim for support with the 2 nights' additional accommodation, plus reasonable expenses. I've worked out we are not goi... Read More |

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 |

Hi all
It’s been a while since I posted my last trip report on here but I thought I might give it another shot and share this with you all.
My wife and I got married in the beginning of June. For our honeymoon we took a month off work to travel to the USA.
We had booked the following flights:
14.06.19: Basel-London, British Airways A321, Bu... Read More |

I thought this was interesting. I just purchased MCT-(BA)-LHR-(AA)-JFK-(AA)-LHR-(BA)-MCT in J for the Christmas and New Years holidays. (I live in Abu Dhabi, but flying from MCT in J often is a lot cheaper than from AUH.) After ticketing, I called AA to apply VIP upgrades for the LHR-JFK and JFK-LHR segments. Both were showing A1 on ExpertFlyer, so... Read More |

[left]The included image show 2 partner flights: TK and LH. Both flights were in J class but it’s a bit shocking that the TK flight yielded so few comparative miles considering it’s the longer flight. TK is a full member of *A so I was a bit surprised. Does anyone know why the disparity?
just in case the image is not showing up:
TK: FRA-ESB,... Read More |

My flight is scheduled on a 787-9, but they are not selling the F seats. The J seatmap shows rows 1 & 2 (F seats) as occupied. A check on expertflyer shows the 2 rows of F seats as blocked, not occupied. How do i go about securing one of the F seats - I realize it would only be J service? Will they open up at -72hrs? I have OW Emerald status, which... Read More |

[LEFT]Appreciated the new scotch offerings in J and F this week. Singleton is definitely a step up from Glenlivet Masters and while I’m not sure the Mortlach > JW Blue in F, it was still a nice change (made up for a rather mediocre Pomerol). Does anyone know which years they are serving? Neither menu states. [/LEFT] Read More |
