My wife and I each require 40 Tier Points to reach silver before our years end. The biggest problem is that we live close to Aberdeen and therefore our BA flights are restricted to LHR other than perhaps a BA codeshare on a Loganair flight to the islands. Any suggestions for a cheap return from ABZ that would net the 40 points required. Thanks. Read More |

Hi All,
Its a bit of a long story, but I have provided some background below, however the main thing I want to know is how do I go about contacting Lufthanasa management as their customer services have been useless.
So, the very short version of the story.
I booked return flights from London to Johannesburg with Lufthansa (via Munich and F... Read More |

Speaking of race to the bottom, anyone seen the TPG review of EWR-LAX in Y? The reviewer paid $142 for E+ then sat in an E- seat by mistake. Just plain bizarre.

Used to be a great fan of BA Cityflyer but a few recent experiences have really put me off.
Coming back from Faro in the summer with my daughter (2.5), told only after takeoff that there were no CE meals - only popcorn and crisps - due to a catering cockup at STN. It would have been really helpful if they'd told us that in the terminal so we co... Read More |

Hello all. I will be flying on my first trip in the Business Class cabin of a 787-9. I am pretty excited as I am usually stuck in the back of these flights. I selected seat 6F because it had direct isle access and no other passengers that need to step over you to get to the isle. However upon closer inspection and watching a few youtube videos,...

We will be doing our normal post-Christmas trip to Florida this year. I have noticed how tight AA have been lately on checking carry-on before reaching security lines at LAX and elsewhere. Wondered whether there are any nuggets of advice from BA FT members to avoid losing my BA compliant carry-on on our trip this year when checking in for our AA fl... Read More |

Stumbled across this yesterday, I'd always wondered where the registration codes came from, obviously more thought in the process than I gave credit for.

Hi folks,
I'm looking at taking a flight option in anticipation of the Chicago Marathon ballot. I'm happy to gamble a few pounds on getting an acceptable price.
I've got two possible itineraries departing HUY to MDW via AMS and DTW, and I'm wondering whether one will cause me considerably less stress than the other.
It'll be a cash booking, and... Read More |

EDIT - TITLE SHOULD READ: UA - CAN-HKG-EWR
Hi
Im contemplating on my return back from Asia to EWR, taking a CAN-HKG-EWR flight.
The layover in HKG is 11 hours. My Cathy Dragon flight to HKG would arrive at 11:30pm, and my UA 180 flight would leave 10:20am next morning.
My question is there is nothing forcing me to stay at the airport by rule... Read More |

Just spoke with MileagePlus to roll over 80 +P points that were set to expire by end of January 2020 and request a new yellow handle wrap for Mrs. Laughinlab. They told me that the yellow handle wraps are going away and will be replaced with Robin’s Egg Blue wraps that will be sent out in the new welcome kits for 2020. Read More |

Just in case you are wondering why you cannot access Miles & More right now. The M&M website had a major issue this afternoon which allowed many M&M users to access the accounts of other users and spend their miles (sorry, German only):

My employer has booked me an AA flight in basic economy. This is presumably done out of ignorance but I'm too new here to rock the boat and complain.
I don't mind paying the difference out of my personal pocket to avoid the horror.
The question - is it possible? Can I call up AA and pay to get a main cabin fare? I'm not talking about simpl... Read More |

I kind of messed up my ex-EU with QR from CPH, evidently time zones are way beyond me. I had booked a flight coming back on the 11th, that was kind of wrong since I arrive at 6.20am on the 12th. That was a cash booking. My question is if I should do my BA avios flight booking now, getting quite a few hours in between landing from DOH, and my depart... Read More |

Anyone have any idea if UA might still offer Buy-Ups to top off status this year? I'm only 2260 away from Plat but not really in a position for a short mileage having relocated to TPE in August. Right now to top off with Premiere Accelerator I'd have to spend $500 to purchase 4k PQM as they only seem to be offering 2k or 4k in the bookings I've loo... Read More |

So I'm booking a return flight SAN --> PHL for family of 3 and want to do a quick hop then ride on the 788 out of LAX. If I book a standard one way fare - it's $301 (see screengrab). And if I book "Multi City" and create the identical itinerary, it's $255. Other than the obvious cost savings - are their any other advantages/disadvantages to booking... Read More |

The flight was supposed to depart at 1040hrs but didn't actually leave until 1455hrs, so I had just over a 4 hour delay.
Can someone clarify who I s... Read More |

I actually have an interesting problem, in that I am looking to be loyal to a hotel program, but my amount of stays does not qualify for a lot of the higher end status perks. In fact this year I spent a total of 46 nights at hotels, but spent close to $30k USD.
I am a member of SLH, and while they do tend to have my favorite hotels, their loyalt... Read More |

A positive enhancement....as long as there is some activity (earning or spending), Asia Miles balances will no longer expire. If there is no activity, the whole balance will expire.
