We are due to fly back from Beirut on Tuesday with BA.
Due to the ongoing protests, the airport road gets blocked every-now and then with burning tires.
We will aim to arrive 3 hours early to the airport but according to the consulate, when the road is blocked, its blocked - no way through, except walking through the fire and smoke with your lu... Read More |

There have been a lot of questions in the main thread about the status qualification change regarding how to earn PQP when flying on partner tickets, so I thought I would start a new thread and wiki for that since it's a small piece of the overall change. That is, on pain of laying out too clearly to United how to game the system... (however AA and... Read More |

Hi all,
Me and my wife had several cancellations and delays on our return flight to the USA from Romania and, after several flight changes, arrived home with over 20 hours of delay and an overnight stay... Now trying to figure out who to file a claim against using EC261.
The confusion stems from the fact that we booked two round-trip tickets fr... Read More |

In the past when I have flown this route we have always had to leave the plane for refueling. Today I considered changing our flight to SYD so that we had more time in Changi by catching the earlier BA11 and then the BA15 on to SYD. The agent advised me that the BA15 no longer allows passengers to disembark while they refuel to allow a speedier con... Read More |

I'm a Delta Amex card holder and I meet the MQD waiver every year with my spend. Therefore, for me, status is all about the MQMs and hence rollover MQMs are relevant. My personal and business travel is up and down, highly variable from year to year.
Here's the thing: I'm sitting on about 55,000 MQMs year to date and I have a good amount of trave... Read More |

I want to go from YOW to YVR and back next month via YYZ or YUL.
The options I want are not displayed on the AC web site.
I do not see how one could display more combinations and persumations beyond those displayed on one page.
If I use 2 flights as multi-city flights - the fares of each flight are added, not combined.
Yes, I could go t... Read More |

Not overly news worthy except for the fact this is a brand new plane. There's some kind of a tech warning on G-XWBB and it's heading to a remote stand so someone from Engineering can board and assess. Read More |

I didn't see this posted previously and wanted to send it out as a PSA, as of September 5th last month, a new policy went into place where elites can no longer do a same day standby or same day flight change if they've already checked bags. Previously, QIK would allow SDFC or SDSB even if bags were checked for elites. I believe this doesn't appear... Read More |

There's a yellow message that appears on some itineraries where first class isn't fully booked and there's less people on the upgrade list than there are available seats, passengers can bid for...

I know that this is a first world problem but here it is:
I fly quite a lot long haul with Qantas in J and I have a fairly uncomplicated but admittedly non-english last name (it's not particularly complicated or "un-english", it's all latin alphabet letters and it is simply pronounced the way it is written).
Anyway, every time I fly with qantas,... Read More |

As we get close to year end, I'm looking hard at whether I'll be able to make the jump to PM from GM. I can't seem to find where it lists how many MQMs I'll get for 3 upcoming trips I have though. I know I saw them when checking out on DL.com, but I can't find anywhere that will show me that info now that I've already paid for them.

Unless I’m mistaken, CX PY redemption is about 150k Avios for YVR-HKG. I’m looking at 124k Avios plus tax. The fare is usually between C$1.7k-C$2k. Unfortunately, no lounge access with PY. Can I select my seat in advance even though it’s an award flight? How can I check if window seat is available?
Thx. Read More |

Just booked a five night award stay for 120,000 points, and noticed that the default setting for someone who has a free night e-certificate available is to use that certificate for the first night and then pay the same 120,000 points (30,000 per night) for the next four nights of the stay. Obviously, this would totally negate the value of that cer... Read More |
