A first world problem, but a tad annoying to find the locker overhead 1D fully occupied with cabin crew bags. I thought it must have been someone from further down the aircraft having dumped it there. The cabin crew saw my puzzled look and claimed the bags as theirs, inviting me to find space further down the cabin. “Oh” I said. “How refreshing”. Read More

Hey FT peeps. I used to be here a lot. I'm an AA Exec Plat. It's just demoralizing. The other day I was flying ORD-SFO on an evening flight. Sitting at the gate waiting to board we were treated to the following announcements: * Plane is full please check your bags (fine, that happens everywhere) * There is no food on this flight of any sort...

I've tried many search terms and Google as well but can't find an exact answer to my question. Merge if necessary, please and thank you. I am landing in IAH final destination 4 hours before my colleague. She is arriving Air France in terminal D (will have cleared customs in ATL). I know there is no United club in terminal D but with so much ti... Read More

Sooooooo yeah. I fly all across the world regularly, including Asia a lot. I try to take a vacation once every other month and consider myself an expert traveler. I typically go to the same places and many of my friends and family always tease me about this so I decided I was going to go to Vietnam in January 2020 for a 2-week holiday!... Read More

QF8 DFW-SYD diverted to NAN and now diverting again to AKL. Must be a fun trip home for pax and crew. Read More

i have not flown UA very often and am thus not familiar with them. i have a round trip from YVR to PHX in United First (revenue P fare, no awards or upgrades) coming up. i have no UA or *A status. as i understand it, business class domestic in the US does not entitle one to lounge entry but travel to/from Canada does. The UA website explicitly sta... Read More

From a secondary East Coast airport (GSO), any advice on booking 11 flights to DUB on AA or partners, with reasonable prices, and getting full EQMs? As in, no Basic Economy netting me .5 AA miles or BA Low Economy @ 50% Avios. But still getting the prices as low as possible. It'd be a lot cheaper on UA+EL, but that's no way to live. :-) I lo...

Sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't see any information. Hi all I am looking to book a holiday via BA Holidays for my family holiday this year, for the last 4 years we have done EDI>GTW>MCO in WTP. My question is, is it possible to book the holiday online flying out LGW>MCO in WTP and the return MCO>LGW in CW? I've played aro... Read More

Hey everyone, Wonder if anyone else ever had this. Doesn't really bother me, but I'm interessted if it other people noticed it. I'm in my twenties and most of the time roaming around on the cheapest of the cheapest fares i can find. I do a few EU-ATH-EU flights on aegean and some SAS flights for my status. Mostly in contract lounges when they sca... Read More

Last week I was looking to book two award tickets for my in-laws to fly with us to Las Vegas in mid-October (they will usually travel with us to watch the kids, and I will be there for work so I may not be around too much anyway). Because of our schedules, only one set of outbound/return flights seemed to fit the bill (PHL-LAS). The cost for each a... Read More

My other half has had a flight held by his corporate TA all week and they say they ticketed it today. I won’t bore you with the why, but we need to double check it has actually been ticketed. The BA app is useless for this I think? Where can I go to get the ticket number and details with a PNR? Thanks! Read More

Hi all I’m flying BA0248 with other half tomorrow from GIG to LHR. WT+ showing no seat availability about 5 hours from OLCI. Anyone able to shed any light or upgrade likelihood to CW? Or worse...downgrade to Economy? many thanks in advance! Read More

So this is a strange one. I booked a BOS-SFO flight. As a 75k I selected 8D as a premium seat. 2 days before flight I get an email confirmation letter that only has one change. My seat has been moved from 8D (middle was empty) to row 11 (a full row), which is not a premium seat. Many other completely open rows still available too. Called AS and... Read More

Whilst on a lengthy hold to BAEC this afternoon, I was advised to download the new BA Reward Finder App. I have looked in the obvious places on FT and not found any information. Is it any good or should I stick with the online BA.Com? Read More

Looks like DL has put out its first travel waiver related to the coronavirus allowing rebooking of flights touching PEK/PVG that are scheduled through 1/31. Have a trip to AP at the end of February so personally will continue to monitor closely and I'm sure many others on this board have travel to China in the next few weeks Read More

Hey all, quick question... I arrive in Hong Kong at 9:30AM and depart with BA at 23:45. That means I have over a 16 hour layover. Neither of the tickets are interlined, and completely separate - so I feel like there are limited options: 1. Go into town, drop my bigger hold baggage off at the airport train and explore Hong Kong (I am back ther... Read More

I'm currently in the midst of a pretty good 1st class upgrade streak. By my count, I have been in first for 16 consecutive segments, which seems like the best personal streak I can remember. Mostly west coast flights, but do have two cross country trips in there as well. What's your best upgrade streak? Read More

In a few weeks I'm going to be booking a trip from the US east coast to Indonesia in early 2021. I'll be using UA miles so ANA is likely to be one of the options that comes up. One thing I'm a bit concerned about is that ANA is in the process of shifting a lot of its US flights from NRT to HND. If I book a US-NRT-CGK itinerary and one of those flig... Read More

I've come across two properties now, Suncadia in central WA and Wild Dunes Resort in South Carolina, that have this disclaimer when trying to book "This location does not participate in World of Hyatt". I know there are other properties that do not provide Globalist benefits, but do these two properties not even earn points or night credits? Read More

Hi all, I got an unexpected status challenge, probably because I used to be Plat. I was granted Gold and 8 500 mile certificates. If I hit 7500 EQMs and 850 EQDs by the end of April, I keep gold for the year. I have most of my flying already planned through then but there’s a slight chance I would be taking a trip to Morocco on Royal Air Maroc. I k... Read More
