The tightening of lounge access continues. I'm trying to add an authorized user on to my Citi AAdvantage Executive card. It looks like AUs are no longer free - Citi wants to charge $175 per AU. I already have 1 AU, not sure if/when I'll start being charged for that, but this is an unwelcome (if not surprising) development.

Am sat on flight to LUX, in usual exit row seat by aisle. Pax in window seat had to have help lifting her bag into overhead. I think the emergency exit doors are in excess of 15kg and also an awkward shape.
I’m not Inspector Morse but I’m guessing the pax is north of 65 years. Should BA introduce a policy to prevent the elderly/ infirm from being... Read More |

Hello,
I have been fairly loyal to UA and able to maintain Gold with mix of domestic trips + one TPAC per year. I recently took a new job that will have me traveling domestically a lot more (including TCON) and making 1 to 3 TALTs with a possible occasional TPAC for a conference every other year. My company approves economy only for domestic but... Read More |

Just a light hearted discussion with my now wife prompted me to post on here.
We’re both young - but travel a lot for work. Whilst we were dating I was always extremely jealous of my girlfriends BA status - although it made travelling with her a pleasure it was always her status that provided the luxuries.
Thanks to the help on here during ou... Read More |

Hi all
I’ve just noticed that tomorrow’s QR 816 DOH-HKG has changed to non Q-Suites. I’m flying ARN-DOH DOH-HKG.
DOH-HKG now looks like it’s the 777 with 2-2-2 configuration. I’ve been put in a window seat which I would never have chosen myself. J looks like it’s full with no option online to change seat.
The 777 looks dreadful with no... Read More |

The claim (for clothes etc bought while bagless) was put in on the 8th of September and I received a response stating that "We will reply to your email as soon as we can, however it may take us a few days".Read More |

I have a tripped booked next week to India and my daughter may need to go with me. She is 5 months old so she would go infant in arms.
I just called to check on the taxes and surcharge fees and I was told by the diamond desk that it is 10% of the Fare. There is no way that's the case - I thought it was just the taxes? Is this even possibly co... Read More |

DFW-New clean lounge with the best liquor options
NYC-best hidden lounge spot with tacos
LAX-hmm least favorite can't remember anything remarkable...

Perhaps someone can offer some advise - My wife took a flight (LX1348 on 07th August 2014) and she's been to-ing and fro-ing with Swiss, on and off, since then. Their latest response in denying the compensation is:
An aircraft is a complex, mechanical and electronic system, whose flawless performance is of utmost priority for SWISS. Nevertheless... Read More |

My flight next week shows as an A321 with Y starting in row 9, row 19 having only seats A, B, C, D & E, and row 20 showing as an exit row. Is that an ex-BMI plane? I cannot seem to find any seating guides for that plane?
Also, what's the best plan for parking as my flight departs T5 and returns to T3? And why are there destinations that have diffe... Read More |

I find it incredibly frustrating that we as members can’t just book the star / luminous rates. I mean.. why the necessity for a travel agent, unless Marriott is getting PAID FROM the travel agencies when a booking is made? (Which of course doesn’t make sense)
Anyway, does anyone have a good TA recommendation for booking the star/ luminous rate... Read More |

For the average FTer, the prospect of going on a 7-day, 1,700km road trip through some of the highest and roughest terrain on Earth, with no guarantee of a shower or WiFi, would seem crazy. Many of the greatest road trips -- Route 66, Karakorum, Transfagarasan, Yungas -- have been well-documented. But as far as epic road trips go, the Pamir Highway... Read More |

So, a relative forgot her coat on a KL flight (left it in the overhead bin).
It took a few days until she reached the right department at KL. They told her that lost items are destroyed after three days. As she called like 4-5 days after the flight, her coat had already been disposed of.
Is it really KL's policy to destroy lost-and-founds aft... Read More |

I always struggled to charge my devices on aircraft - whether I was in D1, C+, etc. using a power plug (as opposed to a USB adapter). Frequently the plugs appeared to be plugged in, but didn't charge my device, and/or charged and then became dislodged, and wouldn't charge etc...

We are a couple returning from DXB-LHR on a 4-class 777-200. Currently booked into WT.
As gold members, if we reserve an aisle and window seat is it likely that BA will eventually block the middle seat? We have done this provisionally and strangely Expert Flyer is NOT showing the middle seat between us as "blocked" at the moment.
We've got a POUG... Read More |

Since booking the flight the NBA schedule has been released and my team is playing in Houston instead of LA.
