Denied boarding by Swiss originating in BCN connecting via ZRH and KIX on Swiss and transit on United from KIX to GUM. Advised by United to reroute to HNL or other approved US cities (13 or so). Swiss denied boarding to Japan (we are US citizens without Japan entry restrictions). Question: wasn't Swiss obligated to fly us to Japan? We would have th... Read More

I've noticed that domestic AA fares are now all a bit lower than they were yesterday. I recall that the Federal stimulus bill waives some aviation taxes for a period of time. Now that this has been passed, have the fares been immediately adjusted? If you want to place a low risk bet on future travel, there are some astonishing fares out there... Read More

Availability has popped up for 31 May J>F. Assuming the trip even happens at that point (it’s just a holiday so it probably won’t and there are entry restrictions in the country anyway), at the moment that would be a pretty pointless use of Avios given the limited onboard catering. What do we think? Worth a punt? If we are in refund/voucher t... Read More

Seeing this post on Twitter piqued my curiosity: [ame]https://twitter.com/CanadaPeru/status/1243604133493592064[/ame] For these types of special relief flights, who gets to sit in J? Do they sell tickets at different prices? How does it work? Read More

Just spoke to a really nice agent who when I asked said she is not working from home (doesn't have a computer nor internet at her home). She said they have to sit 6 feet apart and tomorrow they will start taking temps at the door and if over ?100 they won't be allowed to work. I know AA is having financial problems but why aren't they providing... Read More

Due to fly June 3rd SFO to AKL then AKL to MEL. First route is cancelled until June 30th but second route is not. Firstly Air NZ didn't even tell me it was cancelled. No email etc, I saw that QF was canceling flights to North America until 06/30 so I checked the Air NZ flight and found out SFO-AKL was canceled. Secondly, contacted them about... Read More

Booked a $313 Wanna Get Away Southwest fare two days ago for 20,970 points; but when I checked that same fare today it was reduced to $275 but cost same 20,970 points. Same pattern holds with several other fares I checked. While the points to cash formula has varied somewhat, this would appear to be a devaluation. Read More

Does anyone know what ANA is doing regarding tickets where the traveler would not be able to enter the country due to travel bans? For the tickets issued before 3/19, I see that they're offering free refunds/changes, but what about those booked after that time and before the travel ban was announced? I'm hoping there's someone who can speak to t... Read More

Hi all, I recently had a double suite booked at a Grand Hyatt in Taiwan and used my partners credit card at the hotel at checkout. Now Hyatt won't give me the points because it was paid for with a credit card that was not under my name. Obviously this is very frustrating, but I wonder if this is normal for hotels to do? Is there any reason... Read More

I refunded a cancelled Lloyds Upgrade Voucher flight a couple of days ago. I booked the outbound and return at separate times and the booking confirmation from Avios only shows the outbound flight, they never sent me a second confirmation for the return. But both flights appeared in MMB. For the outbound flight, I paid 50,000 Avios and £377.... Read More

Just gave up my status at United after a hundred years. Looking at Alaska for a flight to EWR first week of September. Does Alaska do biz/first well? I've always been satisfied with Continental/United domestically ... just looking for a comfortable seat, decent food, non-grumpy FAs. Would this route fly the old Virgin America planes? Any opinions a... Read More

Hi, found the above that is the lowest I have seen from my home airport for a long time. Not available any day of the week but no need to stay 7 days. Probably cheaper through OTA. Read More

Inbound is Azore Airlines via PDL or TER with a short layover or up to overnight layover depending on dates. Fare class shows as J. https://flig... Read More

I'm targeting DL 1032 LAX-BOS overnight flight. It's a 757-200 and the seating chart is definitely Delta One for $548. Is this a good deal? Would it basically be like paying $548 to sleep? I've heard great things about Delta One - would I miss a lot if I slept the whole time? Read More

Although I would not attempt this trip under cuurent circumstances, I was curious as what would happen if as a lowly FO, 1MM, I attempted to book JFK-SFO for 3/28 (same-day return), the day before (3/27). Delta.com returned "upgrade available" for both Comfort and Delta One for under $400. I thought I would never see this in my lifetime. Read More
