Had an eventful landing on the BA flight from LUX last night. The aircraft was on final approach on 09L and had passed T5 on the starboard side when the pilot revved up the engines for a go-around. Apparently there was an aircraft on the runway (as the pilot calmly announced as she completed the left turn).
Curious to hear from those who may kno... Read More |

So, for reasons I won't bore you with, my credit card is not in the same country as me.
No problem. I know the numbers and CCV and such.
I can shop and buy things successfully on the internet.
So I buy a BA ticket.
And in the email I get it says "please bring the card you paid with to the airport"

So, really... how often are pe... Read More |

I have recently returned from a BA Package Holiday to Orlando.
As the title says I found a bag of Drugs in my Disney area executive Villa. And overall it was a really poor experience. From picking up the Filthy car from Avis to my extremely dirty Villa with socks and lipstick under the bed and blinds that didn't work the list is really endless.... Read More |

Friends don't let friends fly SouthWest. Ok, old stuff, but I have only flown SW a couple times. After purchasing Early-Bird have a "B" boarding position. No thanks, ever again. I will get a paid seat on all my flights elsewhere. Yes, I understand that no one cares except me and I will not be missed... As if my $750.00 r/t PIT to FLL is not eno... Read More |

I've managed to hit Gold For Life due to some rather manic flying for work over the past 4.5 years. Big woop, and I expect a trumpet salute when I next travel through LHR.
Anyway, having hit the target, I am now minded to switch to a different approach when booking flights. However, I wanted to see what the forum thinks.
I will never hit GGL... Read More |

A German district court has ruled against Lufthansa. A passenger was charged € 2,100 (around £ 2.300) for not flying his last leg to OSL (ex-EU flight). However, the passenger did not agree with Lufthansa's demand and sought advice from a law firm (Franz LLP).

Hi, will be traveling later next year from probably SFO, DFW or LAX to SYD. I'd like to leave the return open jaw, with the date not fixed.
How do I do this? How far out from the original booking and outbound flight dates do I have to re-book the inbound?
Probably doesn't matter, but OW emerald (QFF) Read More |

[left]Flying in Delta Comfort from SEA into AMS this morning, as usual (I never like to eat shortly before landing) I didn’t eat the breakfast pack. As one of the FAs was coming through the cabin to collect trash he saw me putting a wrapped and packaged muffin and yogurt into my bag to eat later. He held his hands out for these items and said “I’l... Read More |

I'm planning a trip to CPH to visit a friend in autumn 2019, and I'm trying to use my AA miles just for the return segment.
I'm hoping to use my UA miles to get a business class award going EWR-CPH on SAS, which is doable-but-difficult, and I'd like to position myself to fly non-stop HEL-JFK on Finnair, but there's [I]never [/I]any availability sho... Read More |

I've got an upcoming two week trip, CVG -> YYZ -> ZRH, and the first CVG -> YYZ leg is on a CRJ-200. My wife and I always travel with backpacks as carryon's, however, I'm assuming we may need to gate check. Are there any special rules with going international (US to CA) where they won't allow gate checked bags and they'll make us check them all th... Read More |

The 365 day flights must be released automatically by a system.
But I'm curious as to who exactly releases the flights otherwise?
For example, I've noticed that a lot of LHR->BKK in CW flights were released today for Christmas week.
If the decision maker is a human, I need to befriend them! :) Read More |

I rarely, if ever fly on a FULLY, 100% booked flight but whilst I appreciate this does happen on certain routes I've often wondered why...
Why doesn't an airline be bold and remove the back 4/5/6/7/10 rows of an aircraft, make ALL seats much nicer with more space and offer a much better product. They would sell out every flight.
If an airline... Read More |

(Decided to create a new thread on this, since the only related one I found was pre-merger, from 2007-2011.)
I'm usually a Hilton guy, and I rarely stay at Marriott/SPG.
But I happen to have 3 stays coming up at SPG (Sheraton, Tribute, Westin) properties over the next few months.
I have no status with SPG/Marriott. I'm thinking about getting... Read More |

I did a forum search and did not find an answer
1. Can you OLCI?
2. If not any strategy to get air-side much earlier 10pm would be fine. e.g is there a BA ticketing desk that can handle HBO check in?
3. Options to AUP if not heading to normal checkin at normal times (3 hours before?) Read More |
