I think we are all bemoaning that MP is now about spend rather than loyalty.
But with the exeption of MM status was there ever a time when yearly status was mainly about loyalty?
Looking at my early flights when MP just came into existance and number of miles flown was fairly close to dollars paid. So in that regard, even back then it was abo... Read More |

I’m in China now, bouncing from city to city...I have a stay starting soon in Guangzhou, where the rates are inflated for Canton Fair.
Long story short, booked months ago at the Hilton GZ Baiyun under a run-of-the mill AAA rate (not a prepaid rate), but because of the fair, the standard non-cancel penalty goes to 14 days. We’re now just ahead of... Read More |

I was at a fast-food restaurant recently that I know takes AMEX because I have used my card there in the past. Today, the cashier told me that he will get in trouble with his boss if he accepts it as a method of payment.
My uncle had a similar experience at a local restaurant when he tried to pay with his corporate card, they told him we don't... Read More |

I'd like to know if it's possible - to fly Delta or Virgin to LHR, and then connect to a Lufthansa flight to MUC, and combine the itinerary somehow. Looking to avoid going through immigration, collecting bags, rechecking bags, etc. and treating the LHR connection as a connection?
Thanks Read More |

Dear All
Was boarding with my wife yesterday PM BA955 from MUC to LHR. As I spent too much time with my wife in the lounge, we've missed Group 1 and boarded practically as the last passengers. The passengers ahead of us had to check in their hand luggage at the gate, but given my boarding pass colour the agent allowed me to take my luggage with... Read More |

A lovely stay, so you check out, Irish-goodbye-style, by skipping the front desk and head to the car. Plastic key card in pocket (whether forgotten there, purloined, or just hedging bets on possibly needing to pop back later.)
Is it bad form to take the keys? I’m sure they cost the hotel some small expense. I’m fairly sure they can be reprogramm... Read More |

I am a 1K with 5 GPU's left for the year. I am travelling EWR - BOM on 11/26, coming back 12/3 and fare-locked a Polaris (P fare) for $3068. When I last checked there is a premium economy A fare for $2395 on that same flight. Also I need roughly $2200 (PQD) to get me to 1K for 2020.
Is it worth $673 to forgo the stress of your upgrade clearin... Read More |

[B]American Airlines London flight diverted after 'chemical spillage' [/B]
Apparently, spilled cleaning solution in the galley of AA729 LHR-PHL sickened two flight attendants and the flight diverted to DUB. The FAs were taken to hospital for evaluation. BBC

I need another 12 segments this year in addition to my regular business flights (which I can't alter) to maintain 1K. Does anyone know of a way to search for flights that have multiple stops/layovers? I'd like to knock the 12 segments out in 3 round trip flights each having earned 2 segments each way, or more if possible. Using United or Google... Read More |

At SEA this morning and probably had too much time to kill in the A SC.
Just for kicks opened flight tracker and saw this inbound into SEA (from Calgary), this is probably breaking all speed records and verified from wikipedia... 648 mph for an E175 is just wow!
Looks like a detour but checked the radar as well.. nothing significant in the area.... Read More |

Months ago I booked a trip, which I flew over the summer. This is more of an interest question than anything
I was booked on an N fare from PTY-DUB, via YYZ. Both AC. The return was also an N fare DUB-FRA-FCO-YUL-YYZ-PTY, with the first 2 legs on LH and the last 3 on AC. There were no options for PY between YUL-YYZ at booking, so it was booked i... Read More |

Hi all! First post, so I hope I'm doing this correctly!
I'm planning a big trip (we are not frequent long haul travellers) from Heathrow to LAX in May or June 2021 for a big birthday I have coming up. I currently have 102,000 Avios and a BA premium card, which I will trigger a 2 for 1 on in the next couple of months. I expect to have around 130,... Read More |

I'm currently booked on a WAW -> LHR -> JFK leg on the 30th of October.
I'd like to switch it to
• WAW -> LHR on the 27th (arrives at LHR at 2:30pm)
• LHR -> JFK on the 28th (leaves LHR at 9:50am)
I *thought* that since the connection time in LHR is less than 24 hours, APD doesn't apply, but per the agent, this isn't the case. He said... Read More |

I've bought a mileage run to HEL for me and a friend in the recent BA sale (£200 return in CE!). He is a silver and I'd like to take advantage of his status to book seats in advance, but the ticket is a present so I'd like it to stay a surprise. If I add his FF number to the booking I think the booking will display in his app. Has anybody found a w... Read More |

I’m on BA48 SEA-LHR tonight and the inbound BA49 is just taxing to the runway now, almost 3 hours late. The BA app is showing the delay but still telling me to turn up at the airport as usual, which is clearly ridiculous as everyone knows the plane isn’t going to be there. So how much can I take this into my own hands and arrive at a sensible time? Read More |
