If you're on Twitter, and are interested not only in travel but also in classical music, the cellist Stephen Isserlis is a delightful person to follow. Sadly (for him), many of his tweets consist of a diary of the tribulations of travelling with a Stradivarius cello (booked on a separate ticket and travelling in the same cabin). Unfortunately (and... Read More |

Flyertalkers,
I redeemed miles on United for an Austrian Airlines flight from Italy (SUF) to Tel Aviv via Vienna. The Vienna layover is 45m yet I got the award so it's a legal ticket. Austrian is still selling the ticket for June 1 (the day I travel).
I booked this a while ago and I do not have many options that don't include 9h+ layovers. I... Read More |

I'll be a staying guest for Westin Rusutsu in a few weeks. I emailed the hotel to ask them to help me book a lunch at a Japanese restaurant that's not part of the hotel. I didn't want to call the restaurant myself since I don't speak Japanese and they only accept telephone bookings (and I'm not in Japan). The hotel refused saying: "Due to hotel res... Read More |

Current SPMarriott, Hilton and IHG Elite seeking to achieve refugeeist status with Hyatt. I've got a number of award nights planned for the coming year and am wondering if I were to book those nights would they count towards the elite qualifying stay for the year as SPMarriott and Hilton do or is it a different system? Also, does Hyatt offer the 5t... Read More |

Having a problem with QANTAS's web page.
Whenever I try to book fares using the Multi-booking page, no matter what Business Class fare I search for the results are returned for Economy. Same thing happens no matter what browser I am using.
Any thoughts on where the problem is? Read More |

Hello fellow FTers,
I'll be travelling early June for the first time via DFW - coming in from LHR and connecting to FLL.
I will have a stopover of about 5 hours - and I thought it won't be a problem as I'll get some free Champagne plus food in the Flagship Lounge (being myself BAEC Silver).
Unfortunately I was not aware of the terminal sit... Read More |

Hi, we are considering booking flights with Cathay Pacific from Beijing to Hong Kong and then Cathy Dragon from Hong Kong to Da Nang. They are giving us 1 hour 35 minutes between flights, would this be enough time to get from one flight to the other not knowing what the airport at Hong Kong is like.
Thank you Read More |

Hey there---
So, what I want to do is book a EWR-MUC ticket that is GPU eligible on the way over (so I can upgrade it)...
But I'm trying to save some money on the way back, so E+ is fine. I'd like the lowest fare class I can get.
I don't see a way to select a W-fare on the way over without also getting one on the way back, which seems l... Read More |

So from flight from US to Asia on a Main Cabin fare, you are entitled to two checked bags for free.
However, this Delta webpage suggests that you can get an extra checked for free if you are a Skyteam Elite (equivalent to Silver Medallion).
I'm trying to do a web or mobile check-in, and both of those channels only allow me to check 2 bags for f... Read More |

[I]Question for anyone that knows the ins and outs of ticketing: [/I]If you hold a flight price on ba.com for 72 hours and then honour it by paying the fare a day or two later, does it become a different type of ticket to one that is just paid up front, and therefore less eligible for op-ups, or even paid upgrades?
i.e. do the computer systems go '... Read More |

Last week I flew to MCO and back. On the way back I upgraded to FC with a $169 payment. On my Skymiles statement I received the same MQDs down and back. I reached out to Delta and they said even though I paid for the FC seat I was still a "T" fare and their calculations are correct. I'm confused. I guess I thought even if it was not FC that I...
