My better half tagged along with me to Cape Town last month, but their ticket was booked separately than mine. Was able to use a GUC and clear 3 out of 4 legs, the only one not able to clear at time of booking was AMS-CPT. Because they don't have status the agent wasn't able to select a Y seat for them, so they gave me the KLM record locator and an... Read More |

I've been loyal to Marriott for 7 years. I have 251 nights all on personal spend and at the equivalence of Diamond for Marriott. So, I get the free upgrades, breakfast/ lounge access, late check out etc....
What makes Hilton more attractive? I like both companies, but find myself more aligned with Marriott and the time and money I've invested as... Read More |

Hi All,
Looking for some advice and help. I apologize if this isn't the right place. Mods, please feel free to merge if need be.
I booked a CX F award in March 2019 for CX 846 for February 2020. Unfortunately our flight was the victim of the HKG - JFK downsizing and I was rescheduled in J on CX 890 to EWR.
Obviously, I'm pretty upset that... Read More |

Hi all,
Will be going to Shenzhen (I have a foreign passport no HK/China with a HKID (not permanent)) this weekend to attempt to open a local bank account. I've done quite a bit of research on this and found that rules tightened significantly earlier this year and I'm afraid I might have missed the boat on this one.
I will come in on a 15-day L-v... Read More |

Are there any bank ATMs at Heathrow that will give Euros? Arriving T3 and transferring to T5, connecting to a flight to Nice. I have almost a 6- hour layover. Through banks in the US, I am looking at paying about an extra 8% in fees for Euros, so thinking it would be cheaper to get from a bank ATM. Will be arriving in NIce late and would like so...

I live around Savannah GA, which means I connect thru ATL on Delta everywhere I go. Every week is 4 segments, and I typically travel every other week, so each year I end up with around 110-120 segments, putting me well over Platinum status (which is 100 MQS), but many flights short of Diamond (which is 140 MQS). But I have very few MQMs since I'm... Read More |

I am due to fly back from Brazil next month on an overnight flight and reserved seat 07K on a 788 so that I could have aisle access. However, I've just received an email from BA that says they have change my seat for operational reasons to 06K.
What could these reasons be? Is this because they need to seat for crew? Or perhaps they need it for s... Read More |

Flying long-haul this weekend in WT. One booking is for me, and a separate booking for someone travelling with me who returns on a different date. I am Gold, the other passenger has no BAEC membership: well, I just signed them up now to credit the Avios but they will be Blue.
I have linked the bookings to select seats etc.

Although I'm still a blue member (only taken 1 actual BA flight), I've attained just over 1,000 TP in the past 2 months predominantly on QR biz. Upon checking in online for my 2nd BA flight ("basic" economy hand baggage only fare from ARN-LHR), was allocate... Read More |

Hi,
Flight itinerary with QR. Booked directly with Qatar.
04/10/19 - SYD - DOH - LHR - ECONOMY(W)
19/10/19 - LHR - DOH - SYD - ECONOMY(Q)
I am Gold status with Qantas and had my FF number on the booking. I have yet to receive any points or SC in my Qantas account. Is this because of the booking class? (W and Q).

Hi all,
I’m quite new with flying business class and I was hoping to get some opinions on whether or not I’m signed up for a pretty good deal?
I’m waitlisted to go from economy to business for both flights: SFO to Tokyo and Seoul to SFO for the price of $1100 and 60k miles (total round trip). Would you say thats a pretty good deal?
thanks... Read More |

I know this is a query about an AA flight from LHR, but I find the knowledge on the BA sub forum second to none, hence the post.
I'm flying with my wife on AA39 LHR-MIA tomorrow and it's been sold out for the best part of a week. I'm guessing it's well oversold. We've got a basic economy seating and I/we now have no status. We will be prime candid... Read More |

Most of my travelling is usually done on business in a premium cabin so I rarely get the use of any GCH benefits. Although it is handy for reserving seats free of charge on booking and the occasional use of premium check in counters on family holidays.
