[left]I’m on UA 310 from ORD-LAX, about to take off. After everyone was boarded, they announced they needed 1 volunteer to take a flight tomorrow, and they were offering $5000 + hotel. After that got no takers, they upped it to $7000. At that point one of other passengers in first class took it, leaving his wife and their lap child on the plane.... Read More |

So most people will agree that UA did an excellent job of creating an upscale experience with the advent of the Polaris Clubs. High end cocktails, wines, spirits. Nice food selection. Beautiful design. Outstanding service (at least in EWR).
And then you get on the plane . . .
"Champagne" (if they haven't run out) is a carbonated version o... Read More |

Is it just me or that flying with HU represents the fastest and probably the cheapest way to attain status with AS? There are lots of cheap economy and business class flights out of YVR to SZX, which is quite close to HKG. I'm not saying flying to SZX makes a lot of sense if timing is important and one needs to get to HKG. My question is flying wit... Read More |

just hoping to get some clarity. I travel for business, easily clock up 70 nights a year. Before I converted to SPG, I held Hilton Gold and Intercon Gold or whatever the lower level elite was. Every time I got suite upgrades when I was on business, but more importantly I was certain that I could book the lowest priced room and be guaranteed a suite... Read More |

TL;DR - 3 days ago, I transferred 254,000 (317,500 with conversion) MR points to Flying Blue. They, however, refuse to book the tickets, with FB staff stating the account is "Fraudulent." (the message on the website is that the booking request is too complicated, and that you have to go to a ticket office).
I have another thread over on the Air... Read More |

Just came off a flight from Manchester and the first officer thanked us for flying EasyJet. He then appeared outside the flight deck, looking rather sheepish and red-faced. A lot of laughter from passengers as they said goodbye.
I’m sure this group has heard a few amusing announcements, how about sharing them? Read More |

Last night I checked in for my flight tonight, and it gave me a buy up offer. I declined at the time but 15 min later thought it made more sense for me to take the buy up. I couldnt find it again in the app, tweeted at delta who un-checked me in so i could run it again. Except this time i couldnt get the offer to show up. Is there any way to 'trigg... Read More |

Just thought I'd share my story booking on United over the past 15 hours.
6pm last night:
--> Booked Miami to Newark nonstop for $259 one way for a flight departing in 10 days.
--> At 11:30pm I thought better of it and decided to drive up to Ft Lauderdale and rebooked at $184 one way. Even with the extra $25 in Uber costs, I'd still save $50.... Read More |

Correct me if i'm wrong, but the only way to get anything approaching worthwhile benefits from Bonvoy is to be Plat or higher. There's no spend component or multiplier, so 50 nights is 50 nights. This means, the guy staying 50 nights @$110/night will earn Plat, while a RC frequent guest that stays 10 night at $700/night is SOL. Shouldn't there be s... Read More |

I've been flying for many years now and fortunately, I haven't found myself in this situation before, but this week on a flight, a DYKWIA type passenger was seated next to me. Normally, the DYKWIA types don't bother me, but this one was quite unique. He put on his eye mask and attempted to get comfortable taking both armrests. No biggie right, we'v... Read More |

Ok this is just awful, the timing is terrible.
I get an Amex platinum last week, then lloyds writes me a letter to tell me bye bye Avios Rewards Credit Cards, to be replaced with a Mastercard with 2.99% transaction fees and a joke of avios!
I don't really care about the Avios, but I certainly care about the 2.99% exchange rate fee.
So I applied... Read More |

This may be a stupid question, but my company booked me a J fare ticket JFK-CDG on Air France and I'm trying to figure out if there's any way possible for me to swap that to a Delta ticket instead to get the max MQD's for that ticket. The MQD's I'll receive otherwise are far less than what is being paid for the ticket.
Not sure if this is possi... Read More |
