I recently stayed at a Residence Inn in a very touristy part of California. It was a good visit that started off on a weird note because a list of today's elite arrivals was prominently framed for the guest to see at each front desk station:

Boarded my flight to BLL earlier this week towards the end of the boarding process and found someone already in my seat - a coveted Y exit row aisle.
"Excuse me you are in my seat" I said politely.
"Oh all seats are the same aren't they?" he replied. "Just take mine, I now have all my luggage above and my things in the seat back so that will just... Read More |

Recently I have traveled twice on short notice to Brazil. AC does the YYZ-GRU run but on both trips, facing long waiting lists for business class... Read More |

Hi there,
Although I'm an avid reader of this forum, a BA flight last week from KIN to LGW has prompted my first post! At the desk they said it was a full flight, and upon boarding I was told i'd been given an upgrade to PE (I'm a gold exec member), then getting to my new seat a chap was already in it, and he'd been upgraded too. Went to find the... Read More |

I need to fly from CDG to LAX. I am considering the following 2 itineraries, which are basically the same cost. I am curious which you guys would pick, and why. FWIW, I haven't flown in actual F on the 77W or 32T, and have some interest in trying FFD, which would only be available on itinerary 1 (never used my vouchers last year). I've done the tou...

Hi All,
I thought I would do a quick write up of my recent trip to KBP – Kiev, Ukraine.
I wont focus too much on the service, as its typical euro traveler, but I though it may be useful for some on here as it’s a route that earns 80tp each way in CE. (its also a non EU destination if you want a Brexit holiday…. but lets not st... Read More |

Hi Guys,
My first trip report so I hope it doesn't go against any rules, but thought you'd be interested in this.
I’m English, but my wife is South African (actually Rhodesian but that’s another story), so we have travelled over to SA quite a bit, normally via JNB on both BA 747/A380 (WT+, Club & First), plus Virgin 787 (Economy, Premium & Up... Read More |

Currently on UA817 AUS-EWR in F. As boarding was in progress, I overheard the FA telling the gate agent to not upgrade people because there weren’t enough meals. I heard something along the lines of, “There are only 12 and not 14 so don’t upgrade the last person.” The gate agent agreed and we went out with I believe 19/20 in F.
Now, if I’m #1 o... Read More |

CDG 2A, I check in at the BA Business Class counter with two bags, having a short connection in LHR to American (T5 to T3), 110 minutes in the best of cases, fully knowing that my BA flight has Expertflyer statistics of being late 74% of the time.
I notice that the agent affixes to each of my 2 bags a "LONG Transit Connection at LHR" tag and I ask... Read More |

Q. New York City (EWR, JFK) to Japan (NRT) @ (August 28/29th - Sept 2nd/3rd)
Is there anyway to catch a RT J seat between these 2 cities for a decent price? I've been primarily looking at EWR-LAX-NRT or EWR-NRT, but the prices are considerably high ($4.4K + EWR-LAX ~= $5-5.7K & $7K respectively).
I was wondering if there was any other routes from E... Read More |

I am a bit of a newbie at this but I thought Flightradar shows you predicted aircraft for a few days ahead (albeit with no guarantee that there won’t be changes of course).
But here it seems to only give tail numbers for flights that have already completed:

Can someone confirm? Also wondering what the experience is like... Read More |

there is a BA staffer lurking just at the entrance to the lift lobby pointing people to the stairs up as the quickest route.
