After a year with AA, I have made the jump to Delta. This week I had my first flight as a Delta Silver and I am very confused by how to manage upgrades to Comfort+. This morning I was booked on an aisle seat in regular economy. I didn't want to end up in a middle Comfort+ seat, so I unchecked the box to request an auto-upgrade to this class of ser... Read More |

Following on from a previous thread I thought, as a Silver member who is going for Gold this year it would be worth asking you Golds or previous Golds who have achieved both Silver and Gold whether it's a big jump up?
Bronze to Silver for me was a huge jump but in reality is Silver to Gold as big a jump? Read More |

There seem to be a couple of groups coalescing around the ex Sweden fares to the east coast. One with the BA1 leg on the 5th June, and another on the 2nd August, both Fridays. It seems there are 5 seats already taken on the 2nd, which include myself and another FTer. Anyone else, make yourself known. It's not that easy to get to the East coast for... Read More |

Found a pretty good fare out of DUB to GRU via US (JFK, MIA, DFW, etc). Doesn't work via LAX, unfortunately!
Great opportunity to use a SWU to get into F for both long haul flights (or even miles + co-pay). Only works if you connect via DFW or MIA!
Earns around 41K EQM if crediting to AA.

Some years ago, a consultant speaking of specialty stores said something like, "You have to do a lot to piss off your brand loyalists, but once you do, you don't get them back." Granted, AA would be delighted if a large fraction of its low-rent EXPs went away--better to have a dozen occasional fliers than one or two entitled loafers. More accuratel... Read More |

Hi Everyone,
I've had a search on FT and google but can't find anything on this. I was just looking at J redemption LON-CPT and was surprised to see the Avios required has increased from 62,500 to 75,000 off peak. It's now 90,000 peak.
When did this happen please?
Thanks,

My son is turning one next week, and on his birthday we will be flying to LAX and SYD. Should I let the crew know? I don’t want a full fledged celebration, but there is part of me that thinks we should commemorate it with people being able to sign a card, or book with well wishes. Thoughts? Read More |

I believe the header is self - explainable. I didn't find anywhere anything if RA benefits are also applicable at Regent hotels and if the spend will be also considered for RA renewal.
If the benefits are not 1:1 comparable, does somebody know what to expect at Regent hotels as an RA? Read More |
