Looking at BA 251 LHR-SCL is showing as departed 14 Hrs late.I am just a simple soul but cannot understand why a flight emanating from a home base could be subject to such a long delay when spare aircraft/crew should be available outside the peak season.
I am due to fly this route in February so hence the enquiry.
Thanks in advance to those who c... Read More |

I have been doing a fair number of trips to Asia and Europe the last few years. I have come to one conclusion, that United has no interest in having a great J service for those of us who dont work for Apple. SFO-SIN really should have the new seats, but we still have the old ones. IAH to AMS should have the new seats as well. we are just waiting an... Read More |

Quick question:
Flying tomorrow on BA4015 (LM435)>BA1481>BA11. Checked it fine on LM's website for the first flight. Question is when will free seat selection start for BA11? T-24 for BA1481 or BA11? It is now past T-24 for BA4015. Read More |

Due to accident on Penna Turnpike I was stuck in traffic for over 1 hr and I missed my check in window for PHL-LAS by a few mins and my seat was given to a standby pax. I won't even get into how horribly I was treated by every AA employee I came in contact with, and no one would believe me anyway it was THAT bad. But here is what's weird... they pu... Read More |

Hi,
Is there any way for a 90-year-old speaking only German to get a German-speaking Lufthansa person on the phone?
Lufthansa removed the option to select German and only offers English or Spanish.
Selecting English, you end up in the Philippines. They hardly speak any English and are quite rude. No sup... Read More |

I am helping an American friend in planning her first trip ever to Western Europe, specifically to Bavaria and Switzerland. She is in her early 70s and techno-phobic, although she does carry a smartphone. She will be traveling solo, not on a tour.
She does not have any credit cards, and is unlikely to be able to get one. (perhaps she can get a sec... Read More |

For five years, I've had 1K status. It's been great, particularly the recent addition of pre-boarding and the outstanding Polaris lounges. But, in 2019 I had fewer international trips and only got to Gold. I never thought about switching while I was 1K but, if I'm going to consider it, this would be a good year. I expect my international travel to... Read More |

I was wandering around Shimbashi yesterday evening and saw a a small restaurant that looked like it served good Yakitori. I slid the door aside and saw there was one or two seats left at the bar and a free table. Every other seat was filled with salarymen. When I pointed to a chair I wanted to take the waiter came over and told me “sorry this res... Read More |

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/insight on this. We go to BGI annually in late November/December and for the last few years we’ve flown F as the outbound revenue fares have been around £1,400. This year, from the start of the sale they’re priced at £2,097.
This is quite an increase especially as they have added the F cabin to an increa... Read More |

Hi everyone,
Over the past 6 months I've started flying for work, and have heavily geeked out on flyertalk to try and become a 'master of points(..)'!
I've amassed quite a few avios now, and given I'm useless with scheduling planned personal trips, I instead fancied making my work trips a little more enjoyable by changing a few JFK > LHR red-eyes... Read More |

I've been a Diamond guest with Hilton for years and as a government employee staying with Hilton often. I actually booked a Virtuoso rate at the Waldorf in La Quinta and was surprised to receive the below "welcome" email specifically advising they do NOT upgrade Diamond members who book the government rate. To be fair this property has never upgrad... Read More |

Hi guys, what method or tool are you using to calculate the release date of award seats?
I thought it was simply a case of adding 11 days to the flight date, and then minus a year?
But I'm being given two different dates when I (eventually) got through to BA to query this.
Specific examples:
Outbound on 23rd July 2021.
Inbound 7th August 202... Read More |

So I was reading that UA has fallen in "quality" mostly based on on-time statistics.
To me this is something UA could fix. How often I see a plane that is supposed to turn around in 45-50min including a full re-cater, new crew, cleaning, etc.
Its just not realistic. Especially because often boarding is supposed to start 15-20min after the pla... Read More |

So I've started at a new company that uses Egencia for travel. I made 2 bookings for BA flights on a HBO basis and it gave me seat allocations. I was a bit surprised but had heard that TA bookings sometimes came with seat allocations. I managed to go in and change a couple and got an email from Egencia showing the seat as "confirmed" (the old dot m... Read More |
