I have to say, I hugely respect this guy for being willing to roll his sleeves up and do whatever to get through this crisis. I am not surprised by it though. BA's pilots have always struck me as the resourceful and decent sort. Nonetheless, it's an insight into what so many are probably going through right now. Sad, but inspiring, times. Read More

I don't think, for the time I have had it, I have ever seen the app like this on my phone. With not a single booking anywhere, for anytime. Very crazy times we live in and may they be short lived. Wishing everyone safety, recovery and normality.

With most of the country (and the world) in some degrees of lockdown, it does appear that there are people still flying UA (as evident by many posts here). Curious who are these folks and what their line of work is so that they are exempt from the lockdown ... that's all :) Read More

Hi, Found this fare for AMS to SFO on Oneworld for 1393 or other dates for a little over 1400. Flying through PHL will get you 540 tier points for the return trip.

So word on the ground, for business the year 2020 is a write-off - we’re in economic hibernation. Companies preserving cash, employees stood down, furloughed or retrenched. Lots of people are in pain and this post is not intended to diminish that. [Mod: rule 12 breach redacted] For those of us that are lucky enough to retain a job, and one... Read More

So far 4 out of 6 offices have been closed because the governor has ordered a stay at home or shelter in place order. But the Omaha office for example is still open and Ambassadors are still coming into the office. Is that even safe at this point, the height right now in the US of Covid19? There are plenty of Ambassadors working at home and I g... Read More

Hello, First post here so I apologise if this is a common question or one well known to many members here. I've booked directly on BA.com flights and hotel, thus a holiday, and I'm interested in the cost of upgrading from WT+ to CW in both cash and with Avios. I've tried to use MMB but it tells me I can't make changes online and I need to c... Read More

Received an email that 3 of my 4 flights Austin to London have been canceled. (pic below) I have been trying to get through to BA First to request a refund. However, their current message is that "We are currently unable to answer your call due to technical difficulties at one of our call centers" Try... Read More

Based in Asia for the last 15 years, I’m longtime GGL and renew my status by hitting just about 3,000 TPs every year by flying mainly other OW airlines, and clocking my miles to Avios. Yes I do take the 4 BA flights every year for qualification - but that’s it - other than those, I hardly ever set foot into BA metal when revenue flights are concern... Read More

This route has been in existence for quite a while now, and is actually the only TATL out of YEG now (has been for a few years). KLM seems to have a big presence in Alberta. Can someone provide an explanation for this? Obviously I love to see it, but I also find it surprising that airlines like Lufthansa and BA have reduced (or suspended) operatio... Read More

It’s likely that, when it’s safe to travel again, airline / luxe accommodations / tourist services will come back online incrementally followed by a burst of availability. In that incremental period, it may be difficult and (more) expensive to score bookings. My greatest fear is that the smaller luxury venues could be very delayed, just... Read More

Due to the coronavirus curtailing travel, the demand for airport rental cars has diminished, resulting in a backlog at many airports. Agencies have had to find alternative locations to store their excess inventory. At Fort Myers, Florida (RSW), over 7,000 rental cars were parked in a field near the airport. On Friday, a brush fire erupted fro... Read More

I have flight credit that has to be used by May and AA isnt budging on an extension of this. Do you think they'll eventually do the right thing? Read More

Before the US Gov direction to airlines to give refunds, AA told me only a voucher was possible when they cancelled my reservation. Now that the flight has been cancelled, can I call back in with the PNR and request they convert my voucher into a refund? Not a huge deal since i'll end up using an AA voucher anyway, but just curious. Thx. Read More

I am long-time lurker, in the process of planning my honeymoon for Jan 2021. We have never flown international business class before, and thought this would be a good opportunity to try it if we can find reasonably priced tickets (I have flown a good amount domestically for work in certain years, so plenty of domestic first upgrades in 2018/19, but...

Hi all, hope you are doing well in these difficult times. In late August I am supposed to go for a long trip to California, with return in November. For such long trips, I prefer to fly La Premiere when possible and reasonable (I pay the ticket out of my own pocket). In the past I was lucky as AF offered discounted fares (around 4.5K~5K EUR) fro... Read More
