Recently flew ex-LHR on a 789 where 5/8 seats were occupied in First. All passengers had luckily pre ordered main courses. However, there was a completely illogical loading of starters and desserts. The crew proactively apologised and said 4 of one type had been loaded and one of each for the others. Ditto with dessert and not enough cheese for all... Read More |

Flight SLC-JAC boarded on time and with no delays showing, so I notified my pick-up ride to leave for the airport (1 hour drive/1 hour flight). Then, it was announced that we would wait for 20-25 people who were on delayed flights and wanted to make their connection as it was the last flight of the day (my guess is, DELTA really wanted them to conn...

Yes, your favourite airport is back on the small/medium/large screen tonight. ITV at 20:30.
Marvel at how people manage to drive around the airfield, gasp at the skills of ATC and groan at the antics of Border Force.
OK, not exclusively BA ... other airlines also exist. :cool: Read More |

I know this has been discussed aplenty here, but I can't seem to locate a specific thread dedicated to this topic with my White Belt in Google-Fu...
I estimate we've "lost" over 100K RDMs EACH (myself and Spousal Unit-1) in the last 12-18 months specifically due to this absurd, seemingly arbitrary RDM cap on flights. It certainly feels like a pena... Read More |

I had to pop over to Chicago yesterday for a business trip. Flight down to Midway in the morning, two meetings and back from Midway at night. I'd booked the last flight of the day because I wasn't sure when my last meeting would wrap up and how bad traffic would be at 4 p.m. Fortunately, things wrapped in a timely way and traffic wasn't awful, so I...

Was trying to get ahead of the game and book travel from SFO to LAS for the NFL 2020 Draft (April 23 - 25). Fares have been dramatically increased beginning April 22 -- that's as far in advance as I can see at the moment. Business class has risen from ~$575 RT to $2175 RT. Does anyone believe these prices will drop going into 2020? I do understand... Read More |

Just wanted to get the pro’s thoughts here 😊. Please pardon my ignorance.
I generally take 1-2 long haul J flights on UA or *A a year (US/CAN to DEL) and 1-2 North American flights in J. Currently I’m accruing to UA and then do a quick mileage run on UA to hit the flight requirement(no spend cause of CAN address)
Is this the best ap... Read More |

I have A-list this year due to status match. Based on my flying so far, I will be close to making it on trips this year. My best guess right now is that I might be slightly short - due to my not thinking. A few flights earlier this year were booked using points instead of cash. I had a few other future flights with points that I cancelled and re... Read More |

So, I like to monitor the Marriott site for price fluctuation and rebook the stay when able. The last couple days I have seen my exact booking drop over $50 and have cancelled and rebooked my stay. Heck- why not?
I assume Marriott tracks cancellation rates. For those who have been in the practice of rebooking frequently. has Marriott found the n... Read More |

I recently booked award travel for Denver to Dublin (AA), returning Edinburgh to Denver (BA). 60k miles for Economy. Taxes and fees added on were over $400. I figured it was still worth it since the itin. was worth around $1400 but I don't know why the add-ons were so high. Any insight appreciated, TIA. Read More |

This past Sunday a perfect storm of ATC delays and lightning at the airport led to a small cluster of ex-EWR flights experiencing remarkably long delays.
As a passenger on a 9pm EWR-SFO I was especially interested to follow the fate of four separate EWR-SFO flights which failed to depart that night:
(1) 6pm EWR-SFO -- returned to gate after A... Read More |

We were looking forward to an easy T5 -T5 connection from and to our Edinburgh flights and we safely booked into 14J/K on both flights for our first CW experience. We now have to change terminals to T3 and the winter 747 seems to be a mid J with only four row... Read More |

Am guessing that as a Gold, travelling with my wife (soft landing all the way from Gold to Blue these days), 2 1/2 year old toddler and a newborn, that 'technically' I shouldn't be able to get us all in, but that a few nice words at the entrance has a reasonable chance of success....
