How often have you guys experienced this? Supposed to depart from BOI at 7:15 for SEA. But then we get told that there is too much traffic at the Seattle airport so they're delaying our departure from Boise by 45 minutes. As we're sitting out on the runway. Read More

Tired of Capers, and since we can't use our Priority Pass there anymore anyway, looking for something different. However, we'd have to go out of Security and come back in - have never done that on a layover - not a big deal? We have a 3 hour layover so plenty of time, I think. Any other place to eat that is a step up from faster food? Read More

Was wondering with Harry and Megs back and forth intentions between Canada and the UK if they have signed up to any FFP E:G BAEC? (clearly I've nothing better to do I know) Assuming they'll be First Class how long before someone spots them in the First or CCR lounge? ML Read More

Hello, I’m flying LAX-NRT-PEK end of February, then flying PEK-ORD-IAH-EZE after 2 nights in PEK on the same ticket I have a box of wine that I would like to bring to Argentina for work and I don’t want to lug it to PEK. I was hoping to get some advice.. I’m thinking I would send the box from Los Angeles to Chicago via UPS/FedEx in advance... Read More

Does anyone know if there any plans afoot to replace or upgrade the clapped-out 777s that BA uses to Buenos Aires? (Dirty cabins, panelling hanging off the wall, TV monitor too scratched to actually watch - both ways. The flights I took last week were the last straw.) I’d rather not, but next time I’ll do Iberia on their new A350s. Read More

According to local news here in ANC, DL 159 DTW-ICN diverted to FAI this afternoon for mechanical reasons. Any FT’ers onboard?

Hey guys, I have the option of the BA294 (BA 747) from Chicago to LHR or the AA operated BA1543 (787). Both depart within an hour or so of each other but I was wondering which might be the best bet in terms of service, cabin quality etc? I checked seat availability via a dummy booking on Sat 7th March and the upper deck of the 747 doesn't have... Read More

Ok, so not strictly a BA question, but I well recall the epic thread from when the No.1 Lounge at Gatwick North was used for BA pax. It was not overwhelmingly positive, especially on the subject of champagne and crowding! Anyway, I'm flying TUI to Cancun on Good Friday, and apparently that's the lounge that 'premium' passengers get to use.... Read More

Hey folks- hoping you can help me with a decision I need to make. I'm Elite 50k with Air Canada currently, based out of YYZ, but considering status challenging my way to Delta. For context: [list] [*]I fly about 35-40 one-way trips per year (so ~60ish segments typically; a fair number of my AC segments were United fares for connections to US dest... Read More

I never change flights, so had noconcerns booking a Basic Economy EWR-CLT for 1/24 - 1/26. I was supposed to attend a morning function so booked it for an 8AM departure. The function was cancelled, I don't have to be there till 7PM, or maybe even the following morning, so I would like to avoid having to leave the house at 5AM if I can. I realiz... Read More

Hi there, Sorry if I'm doubling up on a thread. I'm travelling in F next week. I pre-orded my main meal as soon as the option appeared. However, there's no trace of my choice (or the ability to change it) in MMB - should I be worried? Thanks Maggie Read More

Hi- I posted this in the AC forum as well, but am looking for perspective on both sides... Hey folks- hoping you can help me with a decision I need to make.

As the title says I was thinking that DL is missing out on a revenue stream to have C+ (or even a portion of it) be like European business where the only difference is the middle seat is not used. honestly this could even be a few rows in regular Y, but a lot of people like me could care less about leg room and would rather be able to stretch...

Hi. My daughter suffers from fibromyalgia and one thing that helps her is a heated gel pack from the chemist which she places around her neck and lower back. She has an 8 hour flight coming up is there any way she would be allowed to take this in her hand luggage. Thank you. Read More

My wife is getting nervous about a trip to Puerto Rico, in light of the earthquakes. We are considering changing our dates. There's a $200 change fee. I looked to see whether United has a travel change waiver for PR, in light of the earthquakes (as Delta had). Does not appear there is one. Is it worthwhile for us to "call and beg" -- explainin...

I am EP and fly regularly to the US or other long haul destinations. Every month. Sometimes two times a month. I've always used my free wifi in economy without any problems. This time, on Jan 20th flight on IST-LAX, I couldn't log on after some hours. It prompted "you reached your session limit". One crew member said there was a problem with El... Read More

Hi frequent LHR>LAX travelers - I'm going to buy a fully flexible WT+ ticket to travel this weekend; and then hope for a good offer on a same day cash upgrade to CW at the airport (which I have done in the past). Anyone have any idea which of the flights tend to have the most open seats in CW? My guess would be flight 281 at 12:45 which is on... Read More

Hi Everyone, I currently have the Amex Platinum US edition and have recently moved to Germany. I noticed there is a German version of the card and I am considering switching. See below my reasoning (The euro values were converted to USD for comparison.)

I used to be able to book any Ibis in Germany / France / UK using Accor points, reducing the cost in chunks of 2,000 points. But now I can't find the slider on the booking site, whether I use website, mobile website, or mobile app. What am I doing wrong? Read More

In recent weeks, since the New Year, I no longer receive reservation confirmation emails after making reservations on the App. It has occurred six times in a row. I contacted Bonvoy CS for help but they could offer none. I searched my Account page for some type of toggle for email notifications but could not find a solution. Suggestions appre... Read More

I have $200 from my Platinum and $100 from my wife's Gold card. I've been using the $300 for entry to Delta lounges at $29 per entry for my wife and kids; even a friend I ran into by chance. I used up all $300 last year. Is there a better use of the $300? I can't buy gift certificates any longer. What do ya'll spend the AMEX airline credits on? I... Read More
