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 |

[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 |

This weekend I had an inexcusably terrible experience transferring in PVG and switching from DL to MU. It was so poor, I would like to contact someone at both Delta and Skyteam to tell them them that how China Eastern tarnishes their products; I do not believe that this airline should be a part of SkyTeam or that Delta should partner with them....

OK, it happened to me again on this trip to Greece--I tried to book a ticket SEA-SFO-ZRH (on UA) with a connecting flight ZRH-SKG on Swiss. Return route in reverse. To book that on UA the fares were in the $3K plus range, but to book the same ticket on Orbitz was in the $1300 range. United 1K desk couldn't do any better than the $3K range. So I... Read More |

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?

Avios is currently giving a 40% bonus and Iberia has a nice sale on flights to Barcelona from NYC in January. I have 110000 amex mr and 120000 UR points currently.
Ideally, I want to transfer just enough mr points to get the round trip flight, but when I try to see how many points it will cost, it just says I don't have enough avios to complete... 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 |

FA came down the aisle with a drink cart and asked the woman in 1A what she wanted to drink. She said sparkling water. The FA pulled out a drawer and poured the remaining ounces out of an already-opened, mostly empty can. Then the FA opened a new can to top off the cup.

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:

[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 |

[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?

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).

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 |

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?
