A couple questions I have for you FT veterans:
1) Doing a MR: BZN-MSP-YVR-SEA-SLC-BZN on Nov 12. I am booked all the way in the F cabin. I have a Delta Reserve card. Will my Skyclub membership allow access to the Skyteam lounge in YVR?
2) Other than obviously having my US Passport, anything else I need to know about MR-ing through Canada?... Read More |

I’m heading to SE Asia in a few days and planning to visit several countries for the first time. Since I don’t know how long I’ll want to stay in any particular city or country until I get there, and since LCCs are so cheap, I’ve been hoping/planning to basically plan as I go.
I have a return flight in J on Finnair (BKK-HEL-JFK), but was hoping... Read More |

I can see LHR via ZAG with BA then Croatian, so I can have a nibble and glass of wine at T3 but leaves me wih 4hrs in ZAG outbound with (presumably?) no lounge as 2nd flight is not oneworld, and nothing at SKP on return either.

Was scheduled to go STL-LAX-HND-SIN this weekend, and my LAX-HND segment was cancelled. This was a paid C ticket, not in an instant upgrade class, but not full fare. Called AA and had them rebook me to get to Singapore. Sent me STL-ORD-HKG-SIN. They couldn't confirm the STL-ORD segment in F, and put me in Y. The agent on the phone said I should con... Read More |

Hi all,
Looking at flight prices this afternoon and have a question about discrepancies between fares shown on ExpertFlyer and those on BA.com
I priced up a flight YVR-LHR in Y with outbound Feb 14 and inbound Feb 23 on BA.com, which prices at roughly $788 (CAD) with a fare of $117 + taxes/surcharges/etc.
At the same time on ExpertFlyer I can f... Read More |

I've got an expiring Cat1-7 cert (for hitting Globalist) and have used it for 1 night at the GH Vail in the off season (early November). I've got two more paid nights after that. However, because I've got the Cat1-7 cert in there, I can't apply one of my TSUs. I knew about this restriction going in, but can anyone explain the logic? You can use... Read More |

I'm going to the Maldives for my Honeymoon in early November.
Wanted to stay in an Overwater Villa, so booked the new JW Marriott, but given they have continually moved their opening date, I thought it prudent to make a back up reservation so booked the W in case the JW isn't open in time, but the W's Overwater Villa is priced higher in points,... Read More |

My daughter was flying GSP-DFW-COS on Friday. Her GSP - DFW (e170) flight was delayed until 10:15 pm (originally due in around 9:30), but luckily her COS (737) flight was delayed until 10:55 (originally 10:25) so she had 40 minutes to make her connection. In another stroke of luck, she was arriving at gate B22 and only had to go to gate B9, which h... Read More |

Assuming you make Globalist status one year I know you keep it until February of the following year (14 months).
But does everything reset on January 1st?
Meaning moreso about Milestones.
If you made Glob then the next year at 20, 30, 40 (and so on) nights do you again earn the Club Lounge Access passes, Category Certificates etc.

Is there any legal reason Southwest wouldn't be able to operate flights from international airports with US preclearance (i.e. Vancouver, Toronto, Nassau) to Dallas Love (an airport without US customs & immigrations facilities)?
I suppose the same answer would apply to Burbank and Long Beach as well. Read More |
