I recently reached PPro and I'm trying to better understand the upgrade system.
I have a RT from TUS to CMH through DFW, departs tomorrow (Monday) return Wednesday. I was upgraded on the DFW - CMH leg an hour after I booked the flight on Friday the 14th (so was in the 72 hour window). I was not upgraded on the TUS - DFW leg but there were only... Read More |

[left]interesting situation on IBZ to LCY this evening.
Overhead lockers (which are tiny on the Embraer) had filled up completely with only about 60% of pax having boarded. Economy passengers had used the lockers above CE seats.
A CE passenger, who was not particularly late boarding but was on the 2nd bus from the terminal found no space re... Read More |

Here's something new which I'm sure will get a range of viewpoints.
There is a new look to Manage My Booking that is being put under user trial. It doesn't see to go very deep, so the seat map area looks identical, and users have the option to revert to the old version. It's obviously tablet friendly (grrrr) but actually it seems to work quite qui... Read More |

[left]How does BA handle oversold flights? Can you volunteer to be bumped for compensation on the JFK-LHR route?
To be clear, I’m talking VDB not IDB (I know EU regulations require certain compensation for involuntary denied boarding).
ExpertFlyer shows heavy loads today and I’m potentially flexible regarding leaving a bit later tonight than... Read More |

[LEFT]Hey FTers...just thought the seatmap for my flight tomorrow night to LAX (UA534) is unusual - it’s been a few years since I’ve seen one like this (except for perhaps an IRROPs situation). Much of the first class cabin is empty at about 35 hours from departure. I’d think at least the 1Ks and platinum upgrades would have clear... Read More |

I've been given the chance to move a Club World booking in December to First, with a choice between Haneda on the 777, or Narita on the 787. Not too bothered about the proximity to Tokyo, as we're travelling pretty light.
Having trouble deciding between the two. It'll be our first ever flight on BA First, is one experience better than the other? Read More |

Unusual question, and not really BA specific.
Ok, so some of my friends live in Hungary, where beef features rarely in the countries supermarket or restaurants. So I've decided on next visit to bring some brisket and steaks over. This has gone down well...
However, the practicalities of doing this seems unclear. Budapest is an airport where I... Read More |

Hi,
I am considering flying into ORD from Europe. There would only be 1 hour and 35 minutes (unless the plane is early) to get through border control (no global check) at Terminal 5 to collect bag (one will be checked priority) and to get to Terminal 1. From reading posts, it appears a few months ago, that the transfer bus services at ORD were... Read More |

Hey amigos, I have the Barclays AA card (which I am planning to get rid of because of the discontinuation of the EQD bonus). I understand if I spend $20K in a year then I'll get a $99 Companion Certificate.
Is this certificate easy to use? Obviously if I'm booking a $500 fare it's a good deal but my experience with other airlines is that t... Read More |

Recently flew ATL>HNL RT in Delta One. Knowing this isn't "International" I showed my AMEX Plat card at the Sky Club desk in ATL. Was told that because I was in D1 I was able to use the lounge. Same thing in HNL on the return trip. Is this a new policy? Also, would it apply to other domestic D1 offerings? Read More |

I see flight B only costs $700 in FC.
Since it’s within 24 hours of departure, can I buy flight B and then immediately SDC to flight A? Both have seats in FC that are available.

[left]Newbie question.
I need to fly BA flight from LHR tomorrow morning. I’m AY silver at the moment. Regarding my understanding I’m eligible to use priority security?
How to actually do that? My BA boarding pass is not showing priority. My silver card is at home in Espoo. Is it enough if I show AY mobile app with silver status?
Thanks![/left] Read More |

Hi there -
I don't fly a lot in Europe but flew quite a bit of Lufthansa trips from-to Asia/Germany over the past few weeks. And frankly I have been quite intrigued/surprised by the lack of basic at Lufthansa.
I took about half a dozen flights with them over the past 3 months - all in C/D. So after a while I figure it may not be one off issues... Read More |

Looking at booking a flight ex-EU to HKG and currently narrowed it down to either CX or QR.
The CX flight is both shorter (3 hour vs 11 hour transit) and cheaper (~£300pp), which seems like an easy win but I do very much enjoy a good Qsuite and they seem quite reliable on this route (QR 162 & 818).
Having discussed the options with the OH (wo... Read More |

I'm flying from PHL to SNN in Economy this September. Checked my reservation and didn't see a WiFi icon. I do see a WiFi icon, however, for my DUB to CLT flight home in economy on an Airbus 332. I know 757s are old equipment. But I thought the transatlantic ones would have been retrofitted for WiFi by now.
Also, anyone know if AA offers any disc... Read More |
