Travelling on my own dime on BA11 from LHR-SIN last week (hand baggage fare for a long weekend trip). I was assigned a window seat at the back of the plane on the lower deck. It’s not great having to climb over up to two people for 13 hours, but that’s the luck of the draw - or so I thought.
As usual, I was offered to select my seat (and pay £59... Read More |

There’s a new article out on View from the Wing that AA is making food and beverage service cuts on narrowbody non-A321T routes. I’m not sure what else was offered, but it sounds like now it’ll just be regular domestic service.

For background I have no status with AC since I shifted to UA several years ago. So no special premium numbers to call.
In mid November I booked flights for my son to join us in Maui. His flights were YYJ -YVR-OGG and returning the same route. As he is a student and perpetually broke we selected the Bistro on Board options for him. His email add... Read More |

I was just looking at my Silver card and wonder - is there any real reason for it? You have the card on the app if you need to show it (which I've never been required to do). Have you ever been asked for your silver card for lounge entry or anything? Read More |

I've stayed at both chains but cannot figure out major differences.
Trying to answer the question myself, I think...
1. Hampton Inn tends to be a little cheaper. I conclude that it is lower on the scale than Hilton Garden Inn.
2. Hampton Inn has free breakfast. It is not the greatest breakfast but is certainly better than a continental breakfast... Read More |

Without going into details, I'll be arriving at MNL at about 4 AM and then flying out roughly 24 hours later at 5 AM. Given the odd flight schedule, am I better off just staying at a airport hotel at MNL? If so, is it possible to contact the hotel and somehow convince them to charge me for only one night? Any Marriott, Hilton, or IHG at the MNL air... Read More |

Two recent events are making me question whether I should continue booking using United.com/United app. The first, of my own making, is a decision to cancel my Presidential Plus credit card and move to a cash back card. The second, of the airline’s making, is the discontinuation of the United.com club. I used to get extra miles and five bucks per r... Read More |

Hi all, I booked a room and requested an upgrade as normal, however the hotel emailed and said there is an additional charge as it’s going from the top level room to a suite. They say they only upgrade from lower room category to higher room category. Is this normal or is this a consequence of the new suite night upgrade perk? Read More |

I have lots of AMEX points that could be transferred to my LH account, lots of UA miles with Star Alliance status, and I am willing to pay a reasonable amount for the upgrade. Any suggestions? As always, thanks for the help. Read More |

Not the usual suspects that are always recognized as amongst the best in the world, or perennially on top-50 or top-100 lists? For example, one of my absolute favorites would be Hotel Kamp in Helsinki. I go several times/year, the staff are always wonderful. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and have nice bathtubs (a big point for me). The... Read More |
