Forgive me if others knew this, but it appears that as of late, if flying BA award tickets you now need to pay to select your seat in advance. I've never paid them in the past. We have a trip in June, trip home I booked 6 months ago in FC, outbound I booked 3 weeks ago in biz. Went to pick seats a week ago, and BA wants $180 per passenger to select... Read More |

We just returned from a week away in South Africa, and flew BA LHR-JNB in F both directions having purchased the 2-4-1 tickets last year. It's been a while since I've flown F on a paid ticket, but my expectations I think were reasonable and informed. So what was the reality?
On the ground:

Pretty killer deal for ex-US F. This is a DL-based fare that allows for AF codeshare.
Unfortunately, the only segment in F will be the transatlantic sector; the rest will be in business class.
You can fly both transatlantic segments on the 777 for a better F experience, however, you'll have to play around with the dates and times.
Note: 50 Day Adv... Read More |

Did a quick roundtrip SEA-LAX this weekend.
Outbound in F on 3:30pm flight - the only food offered was snack basket. Return in C+ on 1pm flight - no food for sale offered (but F seemed to have lunch).
I did not have time to grab something to eat before flights and was hungry.
Is it recent enhancement on SEA-Cal flights? I remember sometime... Read More |

Two of these arriving this year and one next year, as we all know.
Is there any word on the configuration of these yet?
Will they have F cabins?
Will the F cabins have 8 "new" seats like the 789s? Or more new F seats?
Will the J cabins feature the new Club World seat?
Will the Y cabins be 10 abreast?
I had read somewhere that once... Read More |

I've been to the MLL at YYZ, BOS, LHR among others. There's nothing decent that is vegetarian, and on top of that, the dishes are not clearly labeled as to which is vegetarian, and which isn't. Is there a customer support link I can use to raise this issue?

[left]Recent GM here. Lately I have taken to not opting-in for EC seat “upgrades” and instead sticking with preselected aisle seats in the exit row for most domestic flights. Main reasons being I like to be able to get up anytime without bothering others (upgrades could throw you in a middle or window seat) and the leg room is generally more spacio... Read More |

Either AC Reservations is very confused or I'm very confused. I want to fly AC 519 (YVR-HNL), UA 1575 (HNL-SFO), UA 784 (SFO-YVR). The AC website can't do this, so I phoned in, and the agent told me that it's illegal for AC to book UA flights which start and end within US airspace. I know AC can't *operate* flights within US airspace, but... isn... Read More |

One of the Southwest selling points is the one-year refund policy. But there is a lot in it. I learnt some lessons from it.
In Mar-2018, I booked some late Aug-2018 vacation flight tickets with gift card $$. Then I found the same air tickets were selling cheaper. So I cancelled and re-booked and saved about $4 each person.
In Sept-2018, I... Read More |

I am headed to Orlando for NYE 2019-2020. The flights I'm looking at are LAX-MCO, December 28-Jan 5. Unfortunately those dates are set in stone due to nonrefundable bookings made on the Orlando end. Unfortunately when airfare was released it was insane! It is currently $708 for economy. I checked on miles and it is 100k roundtrip, which also seems... Read More |

Hoping to use my Ultimate Rewards to book Avios from Europe to US. When I search aa.com I find availability for my route (BRU-LHR-PHL-MCI), but not when I search ba.com. The route uses BA from BRU-LHR, then AA from LHR-PHL-MCI. If I call BA will they charge more to book it? If so, any way to get this to appear on ba.com? Read More |
