I flew LHR->DEL on what I believe was a 777-236ER on BA0257 on 7 Feb (apologies I have no subscription to find the tail number). My companion and I were in the centre of the back row of F in 4E and 4F. The seat that would have been 4K was however entirely missing. It's right in front of the crew rest area and the absence makes 4F rather a good seat... Read More |

flybmi has gone under this evening. They operated a number of flights as codeshares for LH and SN, mostly out of BRS and MUC.
It probably brings to a final end the bmi saga, which has been intertwined with Lufthansa over the years.
In the short term, it cuts a few places off from the Star Alliance hubs (again). BRS, EMA, NCL won't have any f... Read More |

Having been a loyal Gold or Platinum member of Skywards for the past ten years or so, I’m getting a bit sick of Emirates, truth be told. Despite this loyalty, I am yet to receive an upgrade and have never received anything beyond the standard service for the ticket class my employer buys (Business Flex or Flex+).
The only time I fly them is long... Read More |

Hello frequent flyers! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
I was wondering if someone can help give me some advice on what to do? I have read about tier progression, and read the timelines on this forum but I couldn't find a specific answer to what I'm looking for (or perhaps I did but didn't understand the terminology you guys use like F... Read More |

Mods, please consolidate this if there’s an existing thread appropriate but I thought it would be useful to allow GS members to recount actual real life stories across UA’s network independent of qualification, notifications, etc.
I’m SFO and TYO based and have been GS for a relatively short time. As a long term 1K and NH Diamond... Read More |

[left]I’m not sure what to call this behavior but I’ve seen more of this the last year or so than the last 35 I’ve been flying. So—I’m booked on a 777-200 with the funky seat chart ORD-EWR on a leg to DUB. I book an aft starboard window seat a month ago when there’s a nearly completely empty cabin.
Yesterday, with the cabin still wide open, MSR... Read More |

BITD there were direct flights that had intermediate stops and one was not require to deplane. They are still around like United's (formerly Continental's) Pacific island hopper. In the past year or so I have been on several international "direct" flights that obviously on the return require one to disembark for immigration and customs but then boa... Read More |

It looks like I will hit my first GGL threshold - 5,000 TP - (having to date been a humble gold) on 25 Feb 2019. My TP year end is 08 Mar 2019 (i.e. a couple of weeks later).
I am a bit confused as to how the joker and executive club companion card arrangements work. On the latter there seems to be some contradictory advice as either BA has change... Read More |

Had been waiting for an AC fare drop for a trip later this year Singapore, and nothing was happening - in years past I've been able to snag a good P fare on AC/Star (SQ or NH), or UA at this time of year.
Gave up and ended up booking on a SQ ticket instead. But this morning I saw a slight price drop on ITA, and investigated further and noted tha... Read More |

[left]I wanted to take by brother and mother on a trip to Europe. I was able to find a LAS-LAX-BOS-CDG for 78,000 miles each and BUD-AMS-LHR-LAS for 86,000 miles each. Most of the flights were 280,000 or more round trip. The LAX-BOS leg has lie flat seats.
I tried to find the same flights as paid fares but nothing showed up with a BOS connection.... Read More |

When I search YYZ to JNB using the AC app, I get lots of options around the $4,000 mark (round-trip). As far as I can tell from the app, they would be J for all four segments (let's say YYZ - LHR on AC and LHR - JNB on SA). There is no indication anywhere that they would be anything other than J.
When I search the same route using AirCanada.com,... Read More |
