So I flew out pre-Covid to BOS from LHR and then my return flight to BOS was cancelled. I am now ready to book my return back to US but AA is insisting on repricing my whole flight and wants $2,000 to get me back to the US or they will refund me approx $260 which is the remaining value of the unused return leg! I would have thought they had an o... Read More

Looking ahead at an essential trip in September/October and considering BA in First. I've noticed multiple reports of awful soft product offerings in F as of late with the COVID-19 situation. Does anyone know if of when BA plans on offering full meals, LPGS champagne, and the like in First again? The offerings in First at present appear worse th... Read More

The OH really struggles with her mask, way beyond the point of discomfort to getting quite panicked and claustrophobic when wearing it. Equally she fully appreciates the community benefits of wearing a face covering. She has purchased a couple of plastic face shields which are much less stressful for her. Are these considered acceptable by HAL and... Read More

Hi, I've noticed that today BA243 is on route to Mexico, returning tomorrow night as BA242. I've noticed that only 5 seats booked on the return leg, but cannot see loads for today's flight inbound to Mex. Any idea why BA would operate a one off, considing all flights in July and Aug on the route cancelled? Economy seats are going for upwards of 2k... Read More

BA have put out this press release across social media today: [QUOTE]Destination: Beach Are you ready for some fun in the sun? Due to popular demand, we have increased the frequency of routes such as Malaga, Ibiza and Mallorca just in time for summer. Book your next getaway now at ba.com[/QUOTE] It is evident that European sun route... Read More

Anyone get a chance to check out the new concourse E extension today? It might be worth a walk down there for some Tillamook ice cream :) With all WN flights leaving the C concourse, I guess this will provide AS more "breathing room" although I'm not sure they need it right now :( I wonder if the E175 flights will all be departing from jet bri...

I hunted and hunted for the answer to this but couldn't find it. If this post fits better elsewhere, please feel free to move it My son (uni student) will be flying SEA-LHR-EDI in August on BA. He will be serving his 2 week quarantine confinement at his own flat in Scotland. I strongly suspect his afternoon connection to EDI is going to be ca... Read More

Bored. At home, ocean front in La Jolla (assume this is bad, which it isn't). Can't travel. Vegas at Bellagio over 4th of July was a disaster because I wasn't throwing around wads of thousands everywhere I walked. Topic for discussion: You travel and get stuck, say for 7-14 days, for whatever reason, in your room. You cannot leave your room f... Read More

So I know we've had enough crystal ball threads, but this isn't a destination/route I've used before and I'm hoping next August is far enough away that we can expect something close to the 'former normal' by then. Also, flights should go on sale within the next few weeks and I'm crossing my fingers I might get a decent deal. A group of us are plan... Read More

Seeing if anyone else has any insight to being able to get a refund for a booked trip to Hawaii? Last fall I got a promotional deal at the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas for 5 nights for $600 if I attend a time share presentation. I booked this stay for August 27, and now because of COVID and Hawaii's lockdown we're being forced to cancel.... Read More

Original ticket is LHR-ORD-LHR, paid A fare of 1980 GBP of which 682 GBP are fees, surcharges, taxes etc. I've already flown LHR-ORD in F. The aircraft for the return leg in August has changed to Airbus 351 with no F. I intend to take the flight. It appears I am entitled to a 75% refund of the fare, however that is calculated. My question is on how... Read More

Although these won't be announced until July 29, Delta announced losses of over $7 billion yesterday with an over 90% reduction in revenue. AC was burning through $20 million a day in cash. Over 90 days that's roughly $1.8 billion. Although they have added a lot of liquidity over the last quarter, how likely is it that losses will be over $2 billio... Read More

We know most countries have banned visitors from the US. However, which countries are admitting people based on originating country vs. passport country? For example, if a US passport holder has been in Japan, Thailand, New Zealand, South Korea or Australia for the past 6 months, where would they be allowed to go? I know Germany is allowing America...

Given that the on board services are so poor these days, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about where to buy food and drinks before boarding a UA flight. I'd like to keep this limited to restaurants either in UA hubs or close to UA gates at other airports. Such things that could be posted are the concession name, opening and clos... Read More

Moderator...please move to relevant thread as I am uncertain where this belongs. I wish to transit LHR from TLV to YVR. If there are flights of course. If I understand correctly the current AA flight to DFW is only for US citizens and or family members and or special others. I am not one of these classes. Therefore I assume as a Canadian citizen w... Read More

The Caribbean Island of Antigua has been doing well fighting COVID-19, and recently re-opened ANU airport to foreign travel. We were getting excited, as we have a holiday booked for September. The processes were quite simple ... arrive with a C-19 free certificate, or get a nose/mouth swab test on arrival ($100). Then someone from America had to... Read More

If Marriott has a property currently closed due to Covid/low bookings, but they accepted future reservations, will Marriott notify patrons in a timely manner, if the property will *remain* closed through your arrival? Is there enough advance notice given to rebook elsewhere with options? Read More

I just got a call from the SEN hotline. Apparently the refund bot did go berserk yesterday and started canceling random (active!) M&M award bookings. See also: https://meilenoptimieren.com/miles-and-more-massenhafte-praemienfluege-stornier... Read More

Hi, I love traveling with friends, but it's so hard to coordinate! I might be weird in that I like to try and plan trips for my friend group dispersed among SF, Chicago, Boston, and DC all to the same place. It's incredible when it happens, but it's only been able to happen once or twice because it's so hard to coordinate. Does anyone e... Read More

Hi all, I can't seem to find the answer to this. I need to fly STT-SJU-IAH and while the travel is ticketed on United, the first flight is on Cape Air, on a Cessna 402. I need to check two 50 pound bags or I need to find a different way to fly home. Has anyone run up against a baggage weight restriction on such a small plane? Thank you! Read More

Recently stayed at a Fairfield for a few nights. 2 rooms sot the kids had their own. Got my points but only received welcome points for ONE room. Emailed Marriott and they said thats the policy. Really? If I booked 10 rooms I only get bonus points for one? Read More
