In the end of may we transferred $4,000 worth of American Express rewards points into a newly opened Hilton Honors account in order to book a stay at Conrad Bali, where our friends were getting married. Upon arrival to Bali on September 2nd we found the property in dilapidated condition and checked out the same day. The staff at the hotel, includin... Read More |

Interestingly (and perhaps unsurprisingly), DL is now further unbundling (and then re-bundling) certain "perks" to Skymiles members so that they can enjoy priority boarding (Main Cabin 1), a few drinks, and a brag tag -- all for the low, low price of $59: https://skymilesselect.delta.com/Read More |

Hello,
Was staying in a Hilton property and found a spider hanging around the milk dispenser. I barely noticed it as it decided to taste my cereal and was able to remove my bowl before it could get in. Then informed the waiter and he just removed it from there.
This got me worried about the food safety and hygiene standard in that hotel and hence... Read More |

I know that many FTers like to "joke" that AA likes to follow/copy Delta as part of their corporate "strategy". There have been a couple of recent developments from Delta that I wonder if AA is going match, but I guess we'll see.
1) Delta to hire 12,000, including pilots, flight attendants and ground staff. From |

Just learned something new. Is this really the case?
BA has dynamic fare codes based on country of membership, not country of departure/purchase.
Just told by GGL that the T fare I can see on BA.com is unavailable to me as a UK resident member. I can only have W and therefore not upgrade my flight using space release.
It's a one-way long-h... Read More |

I've searched and read many of the threads from past years, so I'm aware that only the portion of my trip flown in 2019 will count to my 2019 skymiles accrual. I'm thisclose to gold (way over on miles, currently $688 away in MQD). My only remaining trip of the year crosses the calendar. It's a RT (RDU-MIA) with a base fare of $887.
Since I want... Read More |

I had the delta platinum and earned both 10k bonuses. I then got the reserve and was notified on Sunday that I was receiving 15k bonus miles and 15k MQM. The miles posted but the MQM did not. I found an older post on a different forum that delta limited it to 2, but then I saw a new post that said you could stack.

Hi folks,
A few blogs are stating that Alaska Airlines has removed free stopover within Asia on JL and CX.
Blogs are shutterwhale out of SG and God Save The Points.
The miles needed for SQ for flights to China, in C and F, increased. This shows on Alaska airlines website when you look for partner miles needed for award.

I am a "recreational" traveler. Frequent trips from DTW to BWI for family (approx 400 miles). Plus travel to Europe, CA, NYC, Boston. etc. But a trip to Asia this yr has put me within 4,457/MQM and 42/MQS to Gold. (MQDs always met through robust credit card spending!).
I have two more trips scheduled to the East Coast which should get me to appr... Read More |

I purchased two tickets for family members.
One is in premium + (aisle) [2-4-2 in a row], which I paid $250 to upgrade. The other one is in economy + (aisle) [3-4-3], which I paid $200 to upgrade.
It was a full flight and both have no status, and one got bumped down.
They ended up flying in economy +, next to each other (there is no change of air... Read More |

OK, so BA155 is scheduled to go back to BA metal on Nov 1st after Air Berlin. Up until Nov 6th there is CW availability, and then until mid-Jan at least there is zero availability, GGL line saying they are seeing them all sold out! The aircraft is still shown as the 787, which should have 3 class configuration.
Any ideas why CW would not be avai... Read More |

Hi guys.
Been waiting a while for a decent price to BKK and HKT from the UK in the summer holidays.
Keeping an eye on ex EU departures but most departure airports are not convenient for me given my nearest airport is actually BHX and I'd have to travel to London.
The notable exception is CDG.
Anyway so I'm on the verge of booking CDG > BKK // HKT... Read More |

Trying to decide between a couple of options from the Ritz Carlton Tokyo to Narita on a Sunday morning - my flight is at 10:50a on JAL. I may have 1 checked bag (but potentially not), but full elite status + traveling in F. I'd love to sample the new JL F lounge for ~30 minutes, but don't need any more than that.

Any recent reports on the F meal service on LH to FRA out of DEL?
I assume it is significantly paired down owing to the departure time, but details would be appreciated.

On Dec 6 I'm booked UVF->LGW (land's Dec 7 at 09:05); LHR->ZRH on BA0718 dep 15:35. This is the end of a long trip, booked in J, cash booking for 2 upgraded with Joker & GUF2, 2 x UK passport holders, probably with checked luggage, if that matters. This set me up for a relaxed lunch in the CCR, or no lunch if the flight from UVF was delayed. Unfort... Read More |

Hi,
Long time lurker, first time posting!
As a couple, we recently flew business class from Heathrow to Las Vegas. We are planning a return trip for May 2020 and there is just a £200pp difference on the outbound flight between business class and first class.
We enjoyed our business class fight (first timers) as we could see/talk to each othe... Read More |

Checking for a few trips these next few weeks, it appears DAL has moved from the $20-$30 gap in pricing for Basic to regular economy to $40. Now I'm looking at west coast flights but it appears this is across the board. I figured they would eventually try and push the premium price and it appears they've done it. Read More |

Here's my issue. I will end this year very close to making gold by miles (includes rollover) and MQDs. I'll either be 610 or 15 miles short of gold and within $100 on MQDs (possibly just go over into gold). Would Delta ever just bump me up to gold, and if so how can I prevent this from happening? My desire is to retain silver and rollover the mi... Read More |
