Posted without comment. Decision on BA’s motion to dismiss and transfer to other jurisdiction. Both motions denied and case will proceed to trial. Factual basis is international tariff (Canada or USA) includes provision that free helicopter ride given to First Class passengers arriving at JFK. Agreed facts are that plaintiff (myself) requested s... Read More

So I had a flight last week where I was in an exit row aisle seat. A rather large individual in a fur jacket with a pillow, blanket and a large handbag came to the middle seat and sat next to me with all those items. During the entire flight she and her belongings (the fur jacket and blanket) kept spilling over to my side. During atleast two dis... Read More

I just received a message from BA to tell me that my flight from RUH-LHR this evening is delayed as the inbound "aircraft requires lighting (sic) strike inspections on arrival into Riyadh." Given that the aircraft didn't divert and continued onto Riyadh, I am assuming that this is no big deal and should only expect a very minor delay. Any tho... Read More

I recently booked an Economy Plus seat from IAH to SYD and paid 30,000 miles plus a $600 copay to be Waitlisted for an upgrade to United Polaris. I notice there are tons of business class seats still available. Do they wait to see if people pay full price for these before allowing mileageplus upgrades? I'm wondering if I even have a chance of an up... Read More

With the increasing number of Delta Million Milers out there, should there not be another tier to acknowledge those long term loyal fliers that have amassed significant mileage but cannot achieve anything above the million miler status in a single year? I have been a top tier member of the Delta Programs as long as they have had such a thing. I hav... Read More

I've checked every single flight I have booked - thru April, and not one lets me preselect food. Doesn't matter if I am in First Class or Steerage. Such a shame they ended this or its glitchy without a notification. Read More

New to the forum. I am a diamond medallion with an executive skyclub membership. Under the guest access policy it states complimentary - two guests, or spouse/domestic partner and children under 21 My interpretation of that is I can bring two people with me OR I can bring my spouse and 5 childre...

Having never had a problem with the "old" first pens these new ones with the stylus type end are remarkably flimsy. That's now three where the end has come off after less than a day of using them. Has anyone else encountered this? I accept they are put into amenity kits for use on board and filling in landing cards etc. but would be nice to get som... Read More

Awful news on CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/27/us/delta-employee-fatally-shot-in-atlanta/index.html. Prayers to his family and colleagues. Terrifying that whatever happened took place at ATL, too. PS: Not important on the stor... Read More

I'm posting this in the AA forum because that's where we earn. DH and I are looking to go to TPE this summer in J and AY's I fares are US$1,500 cheaper than CX's. So far as I can see, the pros and cons for AY are below. Pros Significantly cheaper More EQMs (2 vs. 1.5 per mile), same EQD rate Possible quick Helsinki tour (6.5 hour layover ea... Read More

I know the 400's are being refurbished and the 300's are eventually going to be "replaced." Is there a proposed date for their replacement? Going to book a flight about a year from now in D1. Read More

Hello fellow FTers, I booked a transcon on a Dreamliner and paid for Premium Plus. Got a text today that they swapped equipment and as a result they reassigned my seat. The new aircraft has no Premium Plus and I have a seat in E+. The flight is in a bit of a weird status - upgrade list still shows two lists (from Economy to Premium Plus and from... Read More

Can someone with access to seats available tell me what is available on DL568 April 4, 2020. I see no premium economy and about 5 First class. Is that correct? I promise I will learn fare classes before I turn 100. No, just kidding, too hard, over my head... Read More

LHR-JFK route - used to be GBP 100 for WTP to CW (and I always had to call, since the UuA website was doing this incorrectly, as we all know). I was quoted GBP 304 for WTP to CW today (+24k Avios) and apparently this was cross checked by the fares team and came back as correct. I'm aware of the recent increase in J/F, but is it also this significa... Read More

I have just called IHG to cancel my hotel booking as my trade show in Feb in Shanghai has been "postponed", I had booked using the advance purchase rate which of course is non-refundable. However the Ambassador person (Romeo) called the hotel who agreed to cancel the reservation at no cost. Just thought it would be good for people to know that... Read More

Hello, so I booked at stay at the Doubletree hotel in Minsk. My credit card is issued in EUR. The booking confirmation states a "total cost" of USD 1,000 (sample figure). At the invoice I realized that the BYN figure (local currency) is quite high with BYN 2,400. The hotel charged my credit card with the amount. I didn't sign anything. So I calcu... Read More

For years I would bounce between platinum, gold, and silver. I seem to remember a time when I was platinum but didn't fly much and would have moved from platinum to silver but they 'gifted' me gold status rather than falling all the way back to silver. This past year I was gold but didn't even qualify for silver. Delta.com lists my 2020 status a... Read More

Hey folks, I'm a big fan of the 2-class A380 but I can't seem to find which route they're on currently. Playing around on Emirates and SeatGuru the usual Bangkok A380s seems to be 3 class now and so are the Manchester ones which google suggested ought to be 2-class. Any clues? Thanks Read More

Hi Everyone, I am booked on AA2341 on feb 2 from MIA to LAS in Y with a fare ticket M, and I hold a BA Gold which is equivalent to Platinum Pro as One World Status Emerald. For the Moment there are about 5 seats left in Y, around 10 seats in MCE and 6 seats in Business. I can buy an upgrade at $480, so my question is what the chances for a comp... Read More

Can anyone supply the BA New York (or East Coast) Call Centre Number? Thanks Read More

Dear all, Not sure if JAL Diamond/ One World Emerald have access to these restricted seats. Read More

Via AMS obviously. 4 new Delft houses yay! Can't find anything useful on KLM forum - their seat sticky is from 2006 with all kinds of broken links. I've been assigned 2K on the 777-300 and 2A / 2J on 330-300. Are these decent seats? What are meals AMS-JNB - breakfast first, but is there dinner before landing? How long before? My first trip to Afric... Read More

When you are walking towards someone , do you pass them to your right or left ? In USA, seems we pass to the right . a lot of cultures meet in Japan, and it seems so confusing in a busy train station . It does get very tiring when you almost walk into people . Read More
