Denied access at the new Finnair Platinum lounge as, despite having taken the qualifying flights to move up to Gold and showing the staff there proof of travel etc, because the system hasn't updated and is still showing me as Silver. Grrr! Takes the lack of customer-orientation of lounge dragons to a new level!! Currently sulking in the Business... Read More |

On a quite recent CE flight back to LHR….
Family of 6 sitting as follows: Mum (1A), Dad (1C), Kid n1 (2A), Kid n2 (2C), Kid n3 (2D) Kid n4 (2F).
If I were one of the parents I would have preferred to sit in 2A/C together with my partner to get a better overview of the 4 kids (side-wise and in front). I was sitting in 1F.
I was the last boa... Read More |

[left]I recently saw a review from a well known travel blogger and on it he recommended using a site such as surfshark to change the actual country he was booking from (in his example UK -Brazil). As a result, the price of a LHR-JFK return went down by £150.
Is this his legal or something against BA’s T&Cs? What about booking a BA holiday this... Read More |

My Nightmare with American Airlines began on August 14th of 2019. I was trying to get home from Minneapolis to Greenville, SC. I should have known to find a connecting flight through Atlanta as opposed to Chicago O'Hare, but alas at around 12pm I arrived at MSP to begin my adventure home. Everything seemed normal until flight 3438 decided on being... Read More |

I live in Japan so I use Star Alliance exclusively for all travel in south/east Asia. I don't fly a ton, but I fly pretty regularly every year. I noticed recently that many people were getting express security/immigration lines with Star Alliance Gold. I already have Priority Pass, but I believe that's only for lounges etc. Correct me if I'm wrong.... Read More |

I flew BA177 last week (LHR-JFK) and was fortunate to have reserved 64K. This seat was all that everyone here has raved about. Extraordinarily private with amazing storage space. Compared to the mass of humanity that BA stuffs into its F cabin, the upper deck and especially 64K is an oasis by comparison... far more private and with much more access... Read More |

Good morning from a sunny and rather empty Hong Kong!!
Mrs and I are coming back home to LHR today on BA32 in Business. We are going to utilise the in town check in so we can explore.
What is the minimum time we need to be passing security to make the flight given we will have hand baggage only?
On the BA website, I can only find the gener... Read More |

I'm flying YYT-YYC next week via a bit of a segment run: YYT-YYZ-YVR-YLW-YVR-YEG-YYC. It's an immediate turnaround in YLW so it's not possible to check the bags to YLW and then re-check them for the remaining flights to YYC.
Is it an option to check the bags so that they miss out on the YLW turn and instead are routed with me only on YYT-YVR-YE... Read More |

A group of 6 friends were flying CLT-JFK-KEF last night. 1st flight didn’t arrive until 9:30 pm bc of weather. 2nd flight departed at 9pm (on-time) so the 6 of them missed their flight & are rebooked a day later.
I was under the impression that a carrier might hold a flight if the delay was within reason. Maybe not for 1 person & 2 hours, but a... Read More |

In view of instability and ideological beatings from Peking, should CX reconsider restarting/reopening or creating secondary hubs for contingency planning reasons? BKK and SIN used to have a lot more through-traffic / crew bases for CX previously; right now it is mostly HKG and TPE with the very small YVR base for the YVR-JFK service.
Would be i... Read More |

Just curious what the most expensive bottle of wine is that someone's come across in AC J, aside from champagnes. Based on a quick look, it seems as though the bottles range from about $15 - $20.
I should also add, I don't know why they wouldn't offer more interesting beers beyond the Coors/Canadian/Heineken served in Y, with craft beer being as p... Read More |

Evening all
Just checked in for the return leg of our trip to Rhodes. We were on a basic fare but I paid for one bag as would have been a struggle to get everything into hand baggage for 2 weeks.
No issues outbound (apart from the FLY debacle on the 7th) but the app now thinks I don't have a bag for the return. Says I can pay at the airport.... Read More |

I'm assuming RUCs are for domestic flights but GUCs are for international flights? How do these certificates work? Like I can buy the cheapest qualifying main cabin fare especially flying DL metal to... Read More |

I have a round trip ticket booked with award miles for my son OMA-MSP-RST; RST-MSP-OMA. Because of Delta schedule change he has been moved 10 hours later (from am to pm) and will sit for 3.5 hours at MSP before the final leg arriving in RST at 11:30 pm. It is an hour drive for us. So what if we drove up and picked him up at MSP and he skips the las... Read More |

Hi
I just got off the phone with AAdvantage customer service regarding a potential Platinum challenge calculation and after I hung up, I started doubting whether or not he made his calculation correctly.
For my upcoming BA flight LHR-HKG in O class he said the miles flown were 5,994 miles. After that, he took 25% from it (base miles) and afte... Read More |

I will not have the requisite MQDs or the AMEX spend to qualify for Diamond. So I am wondering about rollover for next year....(yes, I know rollover is not guaranteed)......Let’s say I hit 130,...
