[left]I’m on UA 310 from ORD-LAX, about to take off. After everyone was boarded, they announced they needed 1 volunteer to take a flight tomorrow, and they were offering $5000 + hotel. After that got no takers, they upped it to $7000. At that point one of other passengers in first class took it, leaving his wife and their lap child on the plane.... Read More |

So most people will agree that UA did an excellent job of creating an upscale experience with the advent of the Polaris Clubs. High end cocktails, wines, spirits. Nice food selection. Beautiful design. Outstanding service (at least in EWR).
And then you get on the plane . . .
"Champagne" (if they haven't run out) is a carbonated version o... Read More |

Last night I checked in for my flight tonight, and it gave me a buy up offer. I declined at the time but 15 min later thought it made more sense for me to take the buy up. I couldnt find it again in the app, tweeted at delta who un-checked me in so i could run it again. Except this time i couldnt get the offer to show up. Is there any way to 'trigg... Read More |

Just thought I'd share my story booking on United over the past 15 hours.
6pm last night:
--> Booked Miami to Newark nonstop for $259 one way for a flight departing in 10 days.
--> At 11:30pm I thought better of it and decided to drive up to Ft Lauderdale and rebooked at $184 one way. Even with the extra $25 in Uber costs, I'd still save $50.... Read More |

Just came off a flight from Manchester and the first officer thanked us for flying EasyJet. He then appeared outside the flight deck, looking rather sheepish and red-faced. A lot of laughter from passengers as they said goodbye.
I’m sure this group has heard a few amusing announcements, how about sharing them? Read More |

I doubt they have Racism.
The manager at Al Maha Desert Resort send an email to me and he/she said the resort will cancel my confirmed reservation due to the system error(over booking). I can pretty sure that is lie. I did my reservation on January 2019, why they did not realized they were over booking on the January? The other doubt is why they... Read More |

just hoping to get some clarity. I travel for business, easily clock up 70 nights a year. Before I converted to SPG, I held Hilton Gold and Intercon Gold or whatever the lower level elite was. Every time I got suite upgrades when I was on business, but more importantly I was certain that I could book the lowest priced room and be guaranteed a suite... Read More |

All flights out of YEG have been grounded due to fog. AC lounge is at capacity but remarkably everyone is reasonably calm. Kudos to the staff here. They are doing a great job keeping things organized despite tough conditions.

I've been flying for many years now and fortunately, I haven't found myself in this situation before, but this week on a flight, a DYKWIA type passenger was seated next to me. Normally, the DYKWIA types don't bother me, but this one was quite unique. He put on his eye mask and attempted to get comfortable taking both armrests. No biggie right, we'v... Read More |

Despite allowing 6+ hours for the connection from London (and figuring in that if I missed 1 flight I could get 2 others and still get there) I hadn’t figured on a squeaky nose wheel which meant we got out to the taxi way then returned to stand...

Not being a big person, the airplane seats (even after shrinkage) aren't so bad. But now, to not be a jerk, I have a seat reclined in front of me but cannot recline my seat (when I did the man asked me to not, given his legs already don't have enough space).
I guess this is why flying up front is better. You don't have to debate whether to be ni... Read More |

Booking a flight today on a 737-700 and I found it strange that the first four rows on the starboard side are more expensive than the first four rows on the port side.
What's the reason for this?

Was looking at fares to YVR and have found it ex INV for £1200 which is good saving compared to GLA/EDI. Especially as the outbound will give me time to pop into London for a stroll and lunch.
However I noticed in the conditions that it said upgrades not permitted. Does this mean that no UUA to F would be allowed. I thought all J fares could be... Read More |
