I always just throw out my coffee grounds, in the filter. They go straight into the garbage can. recently, I found out that someone I know places them in a ziploc bag, zips it, and then places that in the garbage. Someone else dumps the grounds down the sink, rinses the filter, and then places the filter in the garbage can. I've been tempted to... Read More

Just saw a blogger post about this, but new CA-based MP members (first 25k who sign-up) by 3/3 will get a free intra-CA flight (just taxes/fees) between 3/29 and 5/26. Must be booked between 3/5-3/7. Change or cancellation after 3/7 loses all discounts, but a decent deal for new CA-members who would be flying within CA during those dates. Read More

Trying to figure out ways to gain additional PQP for a long trip between WAS-HNL. With fares in the ~$500 range for approx 9500 mi roundtrip of travel, I would think there'd be some way to get better than ~500 PQP whether that be going through a consolidator, going through a codeshare partner, etc. Read More

Incredibly bad optics at a minimum, here. Despite the spokesperson spin, I understand from friends at Delta that the bonuses went to all of the folks at each of these levels, not a selected few as they are trying to suggest. This will, rightly, really anger the front line folks and feed directly into the hands of IAM unionizers. Seems that Ed’s sto... Read More

So if I am flying UA from SLC to NYC (strictly UA flights on that record), but then flying DL later the same day on a entirely different record from JFK onward, can I I still enter the club at SLC with my membership -I do NOT have to be departing SLC on Delta, correct? With all the changes, just want to clarify... Thanks! Read More

Couldn't decide on adding to the MAX return thread, or starting a new one, because this seems news worrthy on its own. But apparently UA believes in the MAX fix, as they just ordered another 25 as well as accelerated deliveries of 40 frames. Read More

Please list the top THREE (we could all go on an on but let's focus our thinking!) you miss and don't miss about flying DL during the pandemic: Top 3 things I don't miss: 1. Godawful whiny pre-departure and post-arrival music through tinny sound systems 2. Being packed in coach like sardines in a metal tube 3. Other people's... Read More

This past year has been rough. Duh. And at first I was super appreciative of United's seemingly liberal flight credit policies. Allowing you to just cancel flights with no penalties during covid sounds great. I know that if I kept perfect records of all credits issued, I should be able to use them without a hitch. But if you are like... Read More

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster is currently heading a review of vaccine passports and certification for those who have received their Covid-19 vaccines. This is the sort of thing which gets fairly complex, not least because the UK also has to have a dialogue with entities such as the European Union and the World Health Organisation, as we...

Since when does the Centurion have an investment bank variant? I know the Goldman Sachs Platinum but I thought the Centurion was only vanilla Personal or Business or Corporate. A quick google search and I can't find any info about this variant, not even a photo. Just thought I'd share. Given you have to be a GS PWM client ($10M in investable asset... Read More

I've created this thread so that we can build a better picture of BA's (changing) issuing of international boarding pass policies for British passport holders with no resident permits. As some of you know, Spanish residents who flew from London on BA in January were denied boarding due to not having sufficient documentation whilst travelling on... Read More

Guess when traffic drops you'll go after whatever revenue you can! ANC, LAX, JFK, PDX, and SEA (North Satellite) lounges are back on Priority Pass. Limit two guests, limit three alcoholic beverages, "premium" booze may come with a charge, and waitlists apply if the lounge is busy. Found the details here:

I'm considering purchasing a few gift cards from Costco ($500 for $450) for a trip to LIH. Tickets will be around $600 each, so I plan on paying $500 of cost with the gift card then the balance with my Alaska Visa (~$100) Does anyone know if that transaction would still qualify for free checked bags? Thanks! Read More

I read on one of the blogs that WN is doing a promo where you get companion pass through 2022 if you have 100K deposited to your account in 2021. They are writing that you get the business card and personal card with 70k on one and 30k on the other after $5k in spend on both. I cannot find any mention of that promo on here. I usually see better inf... Read More

Hi all! I'm planning a trip to Hawaii in May and am planning to fly in F/J and UA is definitely the best option for me. I don't quite have the miles to make this an award booking though. I know that if I pay cash UA will let me make a change but there will be no refund/travel credit if I need to switch to a different flight that was cheaper. I cert... Read More

AS used to have a program with some Washington wineries where we got free tastings if we show our same day boarding pass. I don't see any info on the AS website. Has that program gone away or is it just well hidden? Read More
