So last night I was flying back to London from JFK with a window seat in the Club cabin on the upper deck. I found the behaviour of one passenger quite unnecessary: We boarded, she came and sat down in the aisle seat. Her husband came upstairs shortly thereafter and they both asked if I could swap with the husband. The tone was very much a "demand"... Read More |

Just spoke to a women doing EWR-SFO-KOA-SFO-EWR today for $350 to get her to 1K. She does the 90 minute turnaround at KOA. Pretty amazing price since given I paid over $650 for the SFO-KOA-SFO leg months ago. BTW, she did get CPU'ed on the SFO-KOA flight leaving now. Just wondering how many are doing mileage runs in and out of Hawaii now? Seem... Read More |

For the nth time in recent weeks, I have been on hold for 15 mins to get through on the Gold Line. There is always an excuse or explanation, but it is quite clear that phone access to the call centres is not fit for purpose. Although privatised, over 30 years ago, BA still seems to offer the same level of customer support as our cash-strapped gover... Read More |

I just want to get some feedback and thoughts here about a situation that just happened today while flying from ORD to MCI. We were told at 915am we are delayed boarding because United has two mechanics that need to travel to MCI for a maintenance issue with a plane there, that delay extended to nearly two hours. There are four other flights today... Read More |

I came across this story today. Apparently, this gentleman paid for his new Tesla through Plastiq, using his Chase Ink Business Preferred Card. The transaction netted him 180,000 Chase UR points. Even paying Plastiq's 2.5% fee (approx. $1,470), he still comes out ahead if he transfers the points to the right airline or hotel program. As a non-mille... Read More |

A few years ago I switched from American to Delta because of terrible customer service at American. And Delta while not perfect has been much much better.
Then about 2 months ago, the downhill slide started.

Hi all,
I have what is probably a very basic question, but I hope you might be able to help. And if, as maths teachers always say, you can 'show your working' (or point me in the direction of sites/threads which can) so that I can help myself to answer such questions in future, then even better!
We are planning to go to Asia for 3-4 weeks in... Read More |

Don't fly much, so I'm not sure if this is normal, but it feels very wrong.
In April I booked a family trip for 4 in August, Philly-Nassau. There are not daily non-stops because it's the off-season, so planned my dates around a non-stop departure and a return with a stop in Miami. Booked early enough that I was able to snag seats all together with... Read More |

I am on the upgrade waitlist for J on DFW-HKG this Saturday. We are now nearing the T-60 mark for this flight, and the J cabin is wide open, to the tune of at least J10, and possibly many more.

The first leg is LAX-SFO, AA marketed, American Eagle operated flight. Economy ticket, but I'm an OWE. The second leg is SFO-HEL, with Finnair.

[left]Most of their longhaul fleet has 8-12 seats in First, including A330, A340-600, A380, and 747-8 aircraft. That’s hundreds of seats per day. Are there really enough wealthy Germans (or Europeans willing to transit in Frankfurt/Munich) to support this capacity?[/left] Read More |

Looking at SEA-PDX flights from about Nov 1 forward, Alaska quickly reduces flights after 8PM, reaching a... Read More |

I've been lurking for almost a year now but finally have a reason to create an account.
I am AC 50K but will be traveling on a UA domestic (US->US) flight next month. As I am also Marriot Platinum, this automatically gives me United status (basic), which allows free upgrades to "Plus" seats and a shot at J/F upgrades.
My question:
