[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 |

Visiting London first two weeks of June. Its my wife, toddler, and Mother in law. Any suggestions on a small town South or Southeast of London to hang out at and relax for a couple days? Nature, parks, rivers and such to explore around. We fly out of Gatwick so the South and Southeast is easiest but open to other directions. We were planning on Bri... Read More |

I put my money where my mouth is, and have done 11 paid nights in a row w/Hyatt (and have 7 more coming up in March). I have a few legacy dirt cheap Marriott AAA rates, and my Florence/Venice trip where I'm staying at the great LCs, but other than that I will only do Marriott now going forward when burning points or when there is no convenient Hya...

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 |

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... Read More |

[left]I wanted to share with everyone my adventures travelling on AC yesterday. A simple PBI-YYZ-YQB itinerary that was supposed to take 6.5 hours actually turned into something close to 14.5 hours thanks to a cascading series of more or less related unfortunate events.
I was scheduled to fly the following itinerary:

Hi all,
First post on here but a long time lurker! With my job, I travel pretty much each week, and currently book my hotels through hotels.com. Looking at my rough annual nights, I stay in hotels around 100 nights a year. My question is: Do I ditch hotels.com and move to Marriott!?
Thoughts!

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 |

One of the "perks" of being GS is that agents have, for me at least, waived change fees most of the time. I would estimate 85% of the time over the last 6 years of being GS. Id say half the time they waived them without me asking and if they didn't, I would ask nicely to waive them, or even a HUCA, but I rarely paid them.
2 times in the last mo... Read More |

With the current roster of partners and dynamic pricing, what does everyone consider to be a "good" redemption value for SkyMiles, especially if you have transferable points available. I feel like with other rewards programs I can easily get cash value of more than 2c per point, but maybe with Delta I should aim for more like 1.4? Read More |

Flight DL985 last night SDQ to JFK
The flight was super empty even empty seats in 1st.
FA Comes on before departure and said "Flights half empty but please do not move from your assigned seat due to weight and balance issues"
Was the FA just trying to stop people from switching seats? or was he serious about the weight and balance? Read More |

The AMS-IAH leg (on KL metal) got cancelled and AMS staff at Schiphol got me rebooked last minute on DL flight to IAH via ATL (both DL 'marketed' but with original 074 ticket #). The new boarding pass was coded as "C" fare, whatever that means.
