Discovered something new today that the flights to and from Seychelles have an engineer on board as Seychelles has no 787 capable engineer at the airport. A bit of a throwback to the past but I wonder which other BA flights have the same. Read More |

I had dropped from Gold to Silver this year. But last month, I went back up to Gold with miles to spare. It's those miles to spare (i.e., carry over) that are causing my dilemma.
With two more trips to go this year, I will go over 75k by a whisker. (I also have the Delta Amex MQD waiver this year.) If I do that, I'll have Platinum next ye... Read More |

I booked an international flight via the United Airlines website, and during the reservation process, there was no indication that the flight was basic economy. (I have booked basic economy tickets before and normally they warn you all over that you’re buying a basic economy ticket.) I chose a seat for free, paid for the ticket, and then received t...

New one for me: our A380 flight ‘completely ran out of water’ yesterday, approximately 90 minutes before landing. The consequences of this - in addition to no teas and coffees with breakfast - included the inability to flush toilets or wash hands in the basins. The CSD made an announcement to apologise and state that this was “obviously unacceptabl... Read More |

I purchased a trip on SK in SAS Plus (premium economy) with domestic connecting flights on UA.
Itinerary is MCO-ORD-CPH (already flown) and CPH-IAD-MCO (upcoming).
After booking, I had logged into my UA account to select seats for the UA flights (MCO-ORD and IAD-MCO). I was presented with the option to purchase economy plus seats which I did.

Hello all
I'm looking at a SYD trip and on the way back I notice that you can take the BA16 all the way through or switch to the BA12 which gives a slightly longer layover. I’d like to change to the BA12 for both the extra time (even if it is only 20 minutes) and for the A380 which should be a bit more comfortable.
A few few questions that h... Read More |

A friend told me that on a recent flight the FAs had never flown on that model aircraft (her words) and that they were very confused trying to demonstrate the safety announcements (also her words).
When I asked her if the FAs actually said that (I wondered if she were using hyperbole or sarcasm), she said they really did.
She said her flight... Read More |

Granted, I do not travel nearly as much now as I have in the past... but have a trip coming up in early November to Burgundy. Thinking I could use some miles, I first went to DL.com. Roundtrip pure miles TPA-CDG in Delta One was over 620k miles :( Pay with miles was to the tune of about $0.01/mile and flat out paying was $10,000+. Compare that... Read More |

Traveling on American passport from the US through ZRH to CPH. Given that you can possibly be in line for an hour for passport control alone in ZRH, how would it make sense that United for a reservation would allow for only an hour and 55 minutes until the departure of the connecting flight?

I need a recommendation for a high-end, non-sushi, traditional Washoku restaurant in Tokyo. Not Nihonryori Ryugin, which seems to get really bad reviews, but something similar - seasonal menu, non-tourist clientele, high-end ingredients, presentation and ambiance, but reservations are doable within 30 days of the dining date.
