Hello everyone! So I have a problem with a ticket I just purchased and your insight on this will be much appreciated. I read the news about AA will be deploying 772 on the JFK-LAX route for a limited period of time in April (AA 55/56 between April 7 and April 24), and I went on to book one flight. On the sales page there is no Flagship Business... Read More

I'm on Emerald with elite status on AA with 998,000 miles and ticking. Flown a lot, seen a lot until last week. I took BA9 LHR-BKK on full Y. Got seat 16k , aisle bulkhead in economy. I checked into the BA Lounge in Terminal 5, quite nice with all the trimmings. On par with SYD Qantas lounge IMO. I asked the agents for a cash upgrade to Club right... Read More

I have a friend who lives in Denver and wants to use their MP for an O (First Saver) to Sydney. They have no status, but do have a MP credit card. We tried at length to find some space in O to no avail. We even tried LAX, SFO, IAH, IAD, and JFK as a potential origin. I was totally expecting to see some ANA or OZ availability in, at least, a mix... Read More

I purchased a ticket to fly on AA in the main cabin (NOT basic economy) and I don't have any status with AA. I see from their website that my boarding group would be between 6-8 but there is no clarification which boarding group it would be. - For people in the main cabin without AA status is the boarding group determined by whether you are i...

I have a CW reward flight booked from LHR to NYC the weekend 14-15th March. I am currently Bronze as I use Avios for 90% of my flying but it infuriates me that I cannot preselect a seat without a horrendous charge - even when travelling Club. For this reason I would be happy to consider paying a cash flight to try and get silver which will last me... Read More

Boarding DL 889 to MCO today and there was a new boarding process they’re testing. They had a group of people at tables before you got to the gate and you had to give them your name. They then give you a number and you board with that group within your group. I was in seat 20a and got a 4, so I guess I was the 4th group in comfort plus to board.... Read More

So going to Galapagos in Dec and want to avoid red eyes and stay with *A flights. Looking at Copa, LAX-PTY-GYE and then GYE-PTY-SFO in J class. Wondering what UA flyers think of their J class. I know what to expect with UA both short and long haul and know that currently CM's first class product is recliner seats (until 737MAX comes back) but ha... Read More

Curious about any interesting observations from frequent travellers. Some that come to mind: 1. Hyatt centric times square, back when they had water bottles in the gym, i saw a guest come in with a duffle bag and empty the ENTIRE fridge of water bottles, yell "perfecto" and leave. 2. GH SFO, couple of nights ago, saw what looked like an airpor... Read More

I spent over an hour and a half on the phone with United today trying to add a lap infant to an award reservation on OS (Austrian Airlines.) Ironically, I already paid for this same infant on the previous award reservation that was changed to this award reservation when the previous flight was canceled, but was willing to pay again to expedite thi...

So after 10 years, basically my whole working life, it is finally about to happen. A country/job change meant that despite flying more than ever (17 so far in 2020) the flights are now all short haul Y around Europe. I was already on Silver last year and will drop to Brown next month. Any tips on how to make the whole experience more bearable when... Read More

I'm eyeing a redemption on a Tokyo Haneda to Seattle flight for 2 people in Delta One Suites. I'm seeing availability on Delta for 96k Skymiles each. [list] [*]Is this a good deal? [*]I have enough Delta miles to book 1 seat right away. For the second seat, I was hoping to book through some other program. [list] [*]I have many Virgin Atlantic... Read More

Looking at my points activity page, I see that for each of my last two stays I received 1,000 bonus points categorized as "Siemens 1,000 Points Corp Offer." I have no idea why I'm getting these points. I have no connection to Siemens, and don't recall having seen or signed up for any offer related to Siemens. Any... Read More

Dear fellow Delta-flyers, First of all - this is my first post here (after following for a couple of months), so please be kind :-) I have an upcoming multi-segment flight with Delta (TPE-NRT-SEA-BOS*), with optimized layovers (i.e., just under 24 hours) to have almost a full day in the connecting city. As the first flight was canceled by CI (D... Read More

Hello, FlyerTalkers, some strategic help would be much appreciated: We are arriving at 21:25 via LX18 from ZRH in EWR and will need to make a quick transfer to UA271 EWR-BNA, which departs at 21:55. Is there any chance we will make it or should we just book a hotel for the night in EWR? If we *could* make it, then ho... Read More

In the past when it was MQM and it was simple. Now with PQP I'm curious what happens. Example A Origional Flight from YUL > LAX Direct as type cancelled because of mechanical issues (Would have been 2470 MQMs) United protects me and routes me YUL>IAH>LAX on same fare type. New MQM is 2950MQM. I would do nothing and get the higher MQMs Now... Read More

Hey all, Out of curiosity on the BA site if it says 1 seat remaining at a price if I pay the £10 to hold the flight prices will it then show the new seat price straight away to anyone else? Thanks Read More

Interesting thing I’ve noticed over the last 4-6 months that not once have I been thanked for being a medallion. Not talking about the “Thanks Mr Harris or anything” but simply when checking a bag, going to the sky club, or boarding the flight when scanning boarding pass when they would say “thanks for being an X medallion” just my experience...

Air Canada's current premium economy (N) fares from Victoria to Asia: - allow for backtracking eastward to YYZ/YUL en route to YVR gateway - book into business (Rouge) on the domestic YYJ-YUL-YYJ and YYJ-YYZ-YYJ sectors - permit a free stopover The best mileage run seems to be YYJ-TPE for $1,305 as below, which would be worth about 5,700 PQP...

My previous Club experience of British Airways Comair has always been on equipment with strange layouts but generally 2 - 3. For a booking in March from Johannesburg to Windhoek (BA 6275, Equipment 738) however I have received an email today informing me of a seat change due to operational issues to an even more interesting/peculiar Club layout, sp...

We have upcoming LATAM flights. I hadn't found a way to put my AS number in the booking but had found a reference saying I could do so when I checked in. Check in is now open but AS doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. Is my only alternative to go to the LATAM counter at TBIT on departure day?
