# 1	Nut allergy Started Today by steve170461 Last post 10:17 am by missdimeaner	British Airways \| Executive Club	12 replies	666 views
	We travelled in F to KUL last week. I refused the pre flight nuts as I have a mild allergic reaction to walnuts. I had a discussion with the CC about it. On getting to breakfast time I just ordered the fruit but also a Danish pastry to go with the coffee. As soon as I bit into the pastry my walnut reaction started. I was feeling pretty rough and sp...

	[left]Re the vouchers you receive at 2,500 / 3,500 tier points etc. I think I’m right in saying that there needs to be reward availability in the next cabin to use these? But what I can’t seem to find info to confirm is whether these can only be used on BA metal like the Amex 2-4-1 vouchers? And even more specifically, assuming reward availabili... Read More

	I had an unexpected experience recently. I was on a UA transcon in business (777-200 w/ the 2-2 setup). I was exhausted from a long international trip. I put the seat flat and fell asleep about halfway through the flight. I woke up, surprisingly, when the plane hit the ground. Does anyone know if it is policy that lie-flat seats can stay flat du...

	I honestly was surprised when I was trying to log in on an unfamiliar computer -- I just typed in [url]www.bonvoy.com[/url] and figured it would bring me to the Marriott site, but NOOOO, it went to a Godaddy "parked" website. I guess we could buy it ourselves, if the price is right? They do own [url]www.marriottbonvoy.com[/url], but not just... Read More

# 9	MU: LAX to DEL from $2303 and earn 7325 MQDs! Started Today by jfkeze Last post 9:47 am by jfkeze	Premium Fare Deals	4 replies	328 views
	This fare should yield 150% MQM's, MQD's equal to 40% of flown miles, and RDM's of 200% of miles flown. So on a simple round-trip we are talking about 27465 MQMs, 36620 RDMs and MQDs of $7325! The cheapest fare is via some more obscure OTAs, I cannot vouch for them but they are pricing lower than ITA Matrix. [url=htt... Read More

	Flying EWR-SFO tomorrow in the 781 (booked it expressly for that purpose, as I wanted to see the new transcon biz, and don't normally fly out of EWR). When I checked in online this morning, I was surprised (and very disturbed) to see the 788 listed as the plane type, even though the seatmap looks like the 781. I called UA, and then said to ignore... Read More

	Plenty of fleet developments going on at AC these days.

I thought I'd start one here. I hope this is useful for people... Read More

	Just curious what do most people do when you get a text alert stating your flight is delayed for 2-3 hours . Do you still show up at the airport at the original time? I know there are experiences where the airline finds another plane to make the flight on time and in most cases never sends a text that the flight is now departing on time. That shoul... Read More
