I'm on Emerald with elite status on AA with 998,000 miles and ticking. Flown a lot, seen a lot until last week. I took BA9 LHR-BKK on full Y. Got seat 16k , aisle bulkhead in economy. I checked into the BA Lounge in Terminal 5, quite nice with all the trimmings. On par with SYD Qantas lounge IMO. I asked the agents for a cash upgrade to Club right... Read More

So going to Galapagos in Dec and want to avoid red eyes and stay with *A flights. Looking at Copa, LAX-PTY-GYE and then GYE-PTY-SFO in J class. Wondering what UA flyers think of their J class. I know what to expect with UA both short and long haul and know that currently CM's first class product is recliner seats (until 737MAX comes back) but ha... Read More

I purchased a ticket to fly on AA in the main cabin (NOT basic economy) and I don't have any status with AA. I see from their website that my boarding group would be between 6-8 but there is no clarification which boarding group it would be. - For people in the main cabin without AA status is the boarding group determined by whether you are i...

I have a friend who lives in Denver and wants to use their MP for an O (First Saver) to Sydney. They have no status, but do have a MP credit card. We tried at length to find some space in O to no avail. We even tried LAX, SFO, IAH, IAD, and JFK as a potential origin. I was totally expecting to see some ANA or OZ availability in, at least, a mix... Read More

I have a CW reward flight booked from LHR to NYC the weekend 14-15th March. I am currently Bronze as I use Avios for 90% of my flying but it infuriates me that I cannot preselect a seat without a horrendous charge - even when travelling Club. For this reason I would be happy to consider paying a cash flight to try and get silver which will last me... Read More

I spent over an hour and a half on the phone with United today trying to add a lap infant to an award reservation on OS (Austrian Airlines.) Ironically, I already paid for this same infant on the previous award reservation that was changed to this award reservation when the previous flight was canceled, but was willing to pay again to expedite thi...

Curious about any interesting observations from frequent travellers. Some that come to mind: 1. Hyatt centric times square, back when they had water bottles in the gym, i saw a guest come in with a duffle bag and empty the ENTIRE fridge of water bottles, yell "perfecto" and leave. 2. GH SFO, couple of nights ago, saw what looked like an airpor... Read More

So after 10 years, basically my whole working life, it is finally about to happen. A country/job change meant that despite flying more than ever (17 so far in 2020) the flights are now all short haul Y around Europe. I was already on Silver last year and will drop to Brown next month. Any tips on how to make the whole experience more bearable when... Read More

In the past when it was MQM and it was simple. Now with PQP I'm curious what happens. Example A Origional Flight from YUL > LAX Direct as type cancelled because of mechanical issues (Would have been 2470 MQMs) United protects me and routes me YUL>IAH>LAX on same fare type. New MQM is 2950MQM. I would do nothing and get the higher MQMs Now... Read More

Any reason anyone know why AA didn’t purchase this aircraft? Does it compete with the 175/95? Read More

Dear fellow Delta-flyers, First of all - this is my first post here (after following for a couple of months), so please be kind :-) I have an upcoming multi-segment flight with Delta (TPE-NRT-SEA-BOS*), with optimized layovers (i.e., just under 24 hours) to have almost a full day in the connecting city. As the first flight was canceled by CI (D... Read More

Hello, FlyerTalkers, some strategic help would be much appreciated: We are arriving at 21:25 via LX18 from ZRH in EWR and will need to make a quick transfer to UA271 EWR-BNA, which departs at 21:55. Is there any chance we will make it or should we just book a hotel for the night in EWR? If we *could* make it, then ho... Read More

Hey all, Out of curiosity on the BA site if it says 1 seat remaining at a price if I pay the £10 to hold the flight prices will it then show the new seat price straight away to anyone else? Thanks Read More

I'm eyeing a redemption on a Tokyo Haneda to Seattle flight for 2 people in Delta One Suites. I'm seeing availability on Delta for 96k Skymiles each. [list] [*]Is this a good deal? [*]I have enough Delta miles to book 1 seat right away. For the second seat, I was hoping to book through some other program. [list] [*]I have many Virgin Atlantic... Read More

My previous Club experience of British Airways Comair has always been on equipment with strange layouts but generally 2 - 3. For a booking in March from Johannesburg to Windhoek (BA 6275, Equipment 738) however I have received an email today informing me of a seat change due to operational issues to an even more interesting/peculiar Club layout, sp...

Obviously an IT Glitch but never the less funny. Bot myself and my mom who I am flying to RDU to visit my sister are in 1st but Delta wants us to pay to sit next to each other. My mom is seated in 2D and they have me in 4D. We can't change seats without being charged $44 dollars. Side Notes: Tickets were booked together, but I did neglect to sel... Read More

Since I know this interests a set of people on here. Looks like BA 1338 LHR > NCL Cancellations (Heathrow > Newcastle) 21:05 departure roughly has been cancelled end of march through till early (11th March). Seems a strange one to cancel as its normally very busy. Read More

So this morning I had some points post on my account, and I have no idea what they are from. It was 2849 points and they posted with the description MARRIOTT BONVOY CHASE POINTS A. The thing is I dont have a chase card, and havent since August when I shut it down to open an Amex instead. Does anyone have any idea... Read More

I purchased 2 saver award tickets several months ago for travel this summer. I now see the same tickets as a web specital for 8.000 miles less per ticket. Is it possible to get these changed and the miles refunded to my account? Read More

I woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise. An automated email saying we saw you looked at booking X, want to go back and buy? It was sent from the generic British Airways Executive Club address. However, at the bottom, with my Avios balance and status, I noticed BA have 'upgraded... Read More
