I’m currently in J onboard AA57 to MIA. Recently I have been choosing American in preference to BA transatlantic because I prefer their seat and I prefer T3. I’m just finishing up a passable lunch and I realised it is 1h 25m since wheels up. my experience on BA has generally been that it takes at least an hour longer than that to dine i... Read More

I'm sure this is familiar to a number of people on this forum... How do you book paid upgrades (above and beyond your companies travel policy or budget)? For tier points, personal sleep comfort, etc. Often times, upgrading separately after booking incurs change fees and availability might be different. So there's an incentive to book into the...

Hi all I have been travelling Virgin Upper for the last 3 years and haven’t flown BA at all during this time. I have started to fly BA again - mix of classes to satisfy various clients! I have been offered the option to upgrade for cash a couple of times since Christmas - how often does that happen to you? Best Dicker Read More

(Now edited to badly remove the faces) Was sent this a few moments ago... really? Fair enough wanting to enjoy your flight and everything, but bringing a disco ball along for the ride? Wonder what the other pax thought? And I wonder if they were FT members...

Apologies if this is an obvious question, I'm an infrequent flyer! I'll be travelling to the US and back in April and will be taking a kilt with me. Can I just stick it in a suit carrier and take it on as hand luggage, and if so will if be hung up anywhere or would it just go above my seat? Thanks. Read More

Just saw this article earlier, claiming that BA only cleans the seats that are reserved for Gold/Premier pax. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/clean-seats-aboard-british-airways-assured-only-vip-passengers-1674931 Not sure ab... Read More

I have an upcoming LH flight in March to China. Watching the growing Corona epidemic I am increasingly concerned that our planned cross country trip will be severely restricted or impossible. Based on your experience: Will LH eventually allow changes and cancellations? Is that tied to certain conditions, like WHO declaring an emergency? Does s... Read More

Does T3 have the same requirement as T5 to get passports checked before passing through security? I’m flying to US, AA plane but BA codeshare. Thanks! Read More

I do a Hawaii trip each January, typically with one other trip prior to that. In the past, I ended January with 10,000 out of the 100,000 miles needed for 1K. This year with a trip to Hawaii and Vegas, I'll end January with 930 PQP out of the 24,000 needed for 1K. On a percentage basis, I was closer to 1K in January under the old model than I... Read More

Can we change travel validity on a partially used ticket? For eg. Pax has partially used his ticket. And now wants to change his return date. As per fare rules changes are permitted @ USD 100 per change and existing ticket Max stay is 3M, which will now be changed to 6M. Can I change ticket from 3M to 6M on partially used ticket ??

Hello, For the flights I am looking, they are about $300 cheaper than when booking through Expedia than directly through Air Canada. The reason they are cheaper is because it is 2 connections vs 1 that I can book directly with AC. I can not book directly with AC online as there are non AC operated flights. At least I can not book on AC website, I... Read More

I redeemed a large chunk of miles for a first class flight from LAX to SIN. The LAX-NRT leg was laughably bad. Power went out somewhere in the first half of the flight. I woke up to a child playing her private iPad loudly and when I asked the FAs what the heck was going on, they said the IFE was out due to a power failure. Seats wouldn't reclin... Read More

Some years ago I booked a flight partially paid with some Aeroplan miles and the rest in cash. I did that over the phone with an Aeroplan agent. There was $30 for phone booking but I didn't mind that since agents were able to offer some options that were not available online. I recall the process was smooth and the agent was friendly and knowledgea... Read More

So as those with higher status with Accor have found out recently, Platinum has indeed been devalued contrary to what Accor previously promised. As [utag=849864]hotel_user[/utag] correctly put, Platinum is now the old "Gold" (IF even that?). Was thinking we could use a thread with some suggestions for Accor as to create some more distinction betwee... Read More

A friend booked an international coach award ticket for me on delta.com using his miles. The first leg is on China Eastern metal and the rest two legs are on Delta. When China Eastern prints all three tickets, the two Delta ones says class Y. Can I credit miles for those two legs to my Delta account? Read More

Any reports from the wild on what's actually happening and what it's like to be there now? I've been in Wuhan (in particular, a business trip for almost a month), although not in about the last five years. Also, I know of one person who regularly posts here on FT and has ties to the city (relatives, so he probably visits more-or-less annually).... Read More

This looks like 777, 2-4-2 layout I believe. How does it compare to Hawaiian Airlines A330 first class? Thanks Read More

One of the more aggravating things about booking flights on partner airlines as part of your AC itinerary was tracking down the booking locator(s) for those partner airlines. For the past couple of years it was displayed when pulling up the itinerary but most of the time, one would have to call AC res to get the locator. With Amadeus all its res... Read More

We’re taking the kiddos to Disney on 14Aug20 and we booked the trip down on UA1527, the 1205 departure, on a 739, in F. I had wanted to try and get one of the flights with a 752, but since the last one of the day was the 0945 departure, I didn’t think it was worth going down that early, considering the equipment is not guaranteed. Well, we got... Read More

On CX831 paid F from JFK-HKG was just cancelled. They're offering rebooking on 865 (via YVR) but one of two pax downgraded to J. I'd prefer to fly with my wife, obviously. However, they insist absolutely NO compensation for the downgrade despite it being a mechanical issue. Is that really fair? Can I override later by emailing Cathay? To clarify,... Read More
