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 |

[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 |

The creation of a new brand is not something any company undertakes lightly. While I was not privy to the actual creation of the name, I can certainly make an educated guess as to a thought process that would lead to what Marriott ended up with it.
As a hotel chain, what do we at Marriott represent (or want to represent) to our guests? First, it c... Read More |

I stayed at a Towneplace that is new, was in construction just a few months ago. The wall mounted AC unit is right next to your bed so you get to feel the air blowing over you. Now, if you were at a junky motel that might be expected, but really?
And now I'm staying at a Residence Inn, which is pretty new, and half the one-bedroom suites are nex... Read More |

We travelled in F to KUL last week. I refused the pre flight nuts as I have a mild allergic reaction to walnuts. I had a discussion with the CC about it. On getting to breakfast time I just ordered the fruit but also a Danish pastry to go with the coffee. As soon as I bit into the pastry my walnut reaction started. I was feeling pretty rough and sp...

[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 |

This fare should yield 150% MQM's, MQD's equal to 40% of flown miles, and RDM's of 200% of miles flown. So on a simple round-trip we are talking about 27465 MQMs, 36620 RDMs and MQDs of $7325! The cheapest fare is via some more obscure OTAs, I cannot vouch for them but they are pricing lower than ITA Matrix.

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 |

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 |

Not having flown with BA (or any oneWorld airline) since then... Read More |

Hi!
I'm about to hit platinum and planning on taking a family holiday on the tail-end of a work-trip.
I would be buying a Y ticket for work, but want to redeem J awards for the family on the same flight so the booking becomes more complex. Generally, is 3xJ reward tickets hard to achieve (and possible Y points upgrade)?
