    MyUs.com - Amex promotion - Free Premium membership

    Luckily I had an old card on file that they tried to charge and I got an email from them and sms from amex that the charge was declined. I replied to their email and asked that the account be cancelled, and they replied to confirm it was.

    Disneyworld tickets

    +1 on what kangarucci said. U/cover via mouse savers is what I found to be the best. Suggest that the park hopper option isn't really that practical as the place is so big, it's time consuming to jump parks within the day. U/c will give you a copy of the tix if they get lost in the mail so...

    Virgin Codeshare AirNZ on-again off-again SYD-ZQN direct + seat selection issues

    Glad you got a good outcome. I did the same trip recently, but despite 3 calls to nz to try and reserve seats, they said it couldn't be done. They could see the plat guests in the $seats, but couldnt move them. So they had 2 plats together in the $seats and two reds unassigned. Had to wait to...

    DL priority seating (Economy Comfort) for VA Elites

    Seating aside, shouldn't you be able to contact them and request a change at no cost? From my experience, the notice of change email says something like if the change is more than 2? Hrs difference, then you can request another change to something that suits.

    I did DL Y economy comfort from MCO- JFk. Md88, and was fine for the 2.5hrs. Cleaner than VX :) the comfort cost about $30 for the extra legroom. There's only a curtain separating y from j that's attached to the back of the j seat back.

    Delta Economy Comfort & SC's

    If you're looking for VA aligned options other than y class, have a look at VX. Their MCS books in as full fare econ. And that has food and a bag included. Then you can also have a go at the upgrade process to get to first. I did this for a flight and I got full first class VA SCs which was...

    Delta Economy Comfort & SC's

    From my experience, it's registered as the original booking class. If you're booking via DL, it'll be easy to see the economy fare class when you book as thy overtly show it. Then they offer you the comfort option as an add on.
