Two questions here:
1) For the first week, I could see my annual spend ($10k) on the app. I no longer do. Any others still able to see this?
2) My spend does not appear to reflect 3 meetings I did this year. I can't find anywhere where Marriott defines "qualifying spend". Anyone have any experience with meetings counting/ not counting?
I c... Read More |

We just returned from our family holiday with BA and have received a request to complete a survey of one of the flights. Now I always complete these and certainly can’t think of a time when I haven’t. However they have always been honest. Going forward should I deliberately lie about the flight just because as you all feel BA is not the airline it... Read More |

[left]I booked a ticket to Singapore in first class (round trip.) I wanted to change the travel dates online but the system insisted that I visit the nearest Emirates office. In addition to paying the full price of first class ticket I had to incur additional charges such as parking fees (in Kuwait) and taxi fees (visit the office in Singapo... Read More |

Sorry if this question is really obvious, but people seem to really value the Gold perk of having row 1. I understand the legroom is better, but I have also read complaints about:
- Not having overhead space.
- The tray table is in the armrest so less rigid/space.
I am just a lowly blue, but I have been assigned seat 1A at T48, and I am wonder... Read More |

Just wanted to share my frustration with AA. I was an occasional flyer (usually FC ) with a couple hundred k miles between my wife and I. Also have a bunch of 500 mile upgrades but know these are not applicable to overseas. I had been looking to use these miles for a trip to Venice from ORD in late Sept. and started looking at award options a year... Read More |

Hello all,
A few hours ago I received an email that appears to be legitimate from Air Canada regarding what seems to have been attempts to use the Air Canada app to obtain user data.
The email states that from August 22-24 there were unauthorised attempts to log in to various accounts using the app and some 20,000 customers have been affected,... Read More |

The situation is this -- we (2 adults, 1 6-year-old) have an international flight we are leaving on tomorrow night. We paid to be upgrade waitlisted. Specifically, I paid, and had this all under one reservation. I'm Platinum, SO is Gold, and our daughter is a lowly Silver (but hey, at least we're starting her off early collecting miles!).

On a recent flight, I was seated in row 1 in the aisle seat. Pax in question was across the aisle from me in the aisle seat as well. There was some commotion during boarding when he berated another passenger for squashing his bag in the overhead bin, but I had my earphones in and didn't think much of it.
Upon landing, I was standing in the aisle w... Read More |

Sat down this afternoon in one of those clusters of armchairs to the left of the BA Information Desk in T5 North Lounge. There are 5 (maybe 6) separate power outlets in the arm of a few of these chairs and this bloke in the widow of the cluster I sat in was using every single one. He was charging 2 ph... Read More |

[left]So why do you have to have your seat in the upright position during landing and takeoff? BA are really strict about this and even if you are an inch off vertical someone rushes up to you to make sure you are perfectly positioned. I don’t know how they know; part of the training programme includes accurately gauging angles I’d guess.... Read More |

My Lloyds Avios upgrade voucher expires at midnight. At the moment it looks as though it's going to go unused or get 'wasted' on a Club Europe upgrade for a Euro trip.
Ideally it would get used for an outdoorsy trip - a week in the mountains somewhere with some hiking. Probably USA/Canada. Some time in the next 6 months, but not in September... Read More |

I was just wondering are there a strict set of rules which governs when cabin lights are dimmed.

I have specifically chosen daytime flights in order to stay awake to allow me to get acustom to new time... Read More |

I boarded the Embraer 170 from Glasgow to London City early, and was seated in brief gleaming comfort in a Club Europe window seat 2D.
An extremely large lady, with an inevitable American accent, had been allocated seat 1B but was unable to fit her superfluous anatomy into this seat, since the sides of the front row boast a solid piece of plast... Read More |
