Flew LHR-MEX yesterday in the back - only about 60% sold. A 30ish man 3 rows in front was wandering around maskless (under his chin) and refused to wear it properly, claiming he was medically exempt. A similarly aged man in the row in front refused even to put one on (let alone wear it), again claiming he was exempt. Both claimed that nobody at... Read More

Hi, I have upcoming travel for business SFO-ORD. I've booked using my company credit card. My company will only book us in economy, but when there is a relatively small price difference between the economy and business fares, the flight is relatively long, and the seats are nice (787-8 in this case) I will sometimes pay to rebook myself in Busin...

I'm heading out for a 6 day trip next week and am having some issues booking my hotel. Most of the bonvoy properties in the area are around the same price point per night ~$120 after taxes (usually around $175/night pre covid). The issue I'm having is with the parking. The hotel in the area that I want to stay at (Westin) is charging $40/night p... Read More

Hi All, Its been about a year since I've been flying and also following this forum. I hope you have all been well. I am pleased to now resume flying. As such, I am seeing many changes that affect my decisions for airlines, flights, memberships, credit cards, and more. For a traveler who has been out of the travel scene for the last 12 months,...

We are going to a resort next week (current Globalist) and I can see via looking at rooms, a standard suite is not available first night but it is on ALL remaining nights of stay (6 more nights). Is there a strategy to break up the reservation into two seperate and/or ask if they can MOVE us to a suite if available after first night? What has worke... Read More

Hi ive basically given up on my cancelled 50% 241 redemption flights LHR KUL as I can’t travel until after the ticket expires. I was wondering about booking to Singapore but going on to KUL. As I would like to use my 241 voucher I don’t think I can book a BA flight to KUL which has a stop/connection using a partner (like Qatar). So I guess m... Read More

Booked a flight late last night at about T-36 for myself and my spouse to fly from ANC-ECP roundtrip for a family emergency. Today at T-24 I get the notification to check-in on the app, go through all the steps/acknowledgments and get an "Oh no! We're sorry, we can not complete your request." Other than displaying a boarding pass, the app loo... Read More

Hello fellow FTers, I'm booked on TLV-EWR (UA91) later this week and back (UA90) middle of next week. The airport just reopened yesterday, but even so, I am surprised to see that UA91 was canceled yesterday, today, and tomorrow (next scheduled for Wednesday). A couple questions: [list] [*]Anyone know why? Was it because of the inbound passenger co... Read More

I came across this beauty ($5.45 per point!) and wondered what people’s best “cent per point” redemptions have been? I’m not equating dollar cost with value here (and I assume the below is an error), but that’s another angle to look at. What do people consider to be their best value redemptions? Clearly very subjective topic - but some that seem... Read More

Good morning community, We are offered to be rebooked to the gtw cun flight in May. The question is.. Is this possible as we had to fly into lhr from Germany? And spend a night somewhere before taking off at Gatwick..? Is that allowed if we have a neg test and go to a gtw hotel f. E? Thnx Read More

The Yellowstone project has 3 outputs and we know Y-2 became 787, Y-3 became 777X. The Y1 is expected to be 'NMA' or maybe 797, with about 7200km range. 7200km from LHR would cover Eastern US, most of Canada, the Caribbeans, a large portion of Africa, and the Middle East. It seems to me that this is a good fit for BA to run into secondary US ci... Read More

Hi, has anyone experienced a theft at a Hilton family hotel? I stayed at the home2suites in Fort Lauderdale and had our bags gone through and stuff stolen. We filed a police report and report with the hotel and they pulled a key log report after the 5th request and only after waiting until the next day along with having a police officer request the...

Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm not very good with avios and booking awards with them is rare for me. I am trying to book LIH-PHX in F. AA metal. It is available on AA.com as a saver award and appears to be available to be booked through partners, such as Qantas and Alaska. Expert Flyer shows "U" availability, which I thought was the cod...

Moving back from London to New York in April and am interested in the Test and Rest option (hotel stay + PCR test with overnight turnaround) offered by some Heathrow hotels, but it's very hard to find information. I'm curious if anyone has successfully used this to fly United to the US? I'd like to ensure that the hotels (seems like it's offered... Read More

It of course highly depends on locations, so we talk about major airports like JFK or LAX, but before the covid it's generally like monday morning was a huge disaster as all business travelers arrived at the airport and by friday evening cars got returned to the airport and the aisles got replenished. But what's the deal now? Based on my many diffe... Read More
