Surgery on my shoulder last week. Now in a sling, and not allowed to drive for SIX weeks. (Ack!) I'm an old bachelor and I have to say I did not imagine just how difficult living with one useable arm would be. :oops: It reaches the point of hilarity at times... "Nope..can't do that either!"...

Which airlines give 32kg to Y pax flying to/from USA???

Just back from a February trip and yes, going again in August. Poor exchange rate will mean a shorter trip than originally planned. Thats the only difference. Entry procedure in Feb was no different to last year, or the year before..etc etc - have NEVER been asked to hand over phone/laptop...

Just another data point. US trip in February. LAX arrival was entirely routine...and I travel with guns! ;) Planning another trip in August and not expecting anything different TBH. Might try for a different entry port though. (SFO, IAH?) Long lines at LAX seem to be much more common in the...

OK.. what configuration can, "in theory" (while meeting Oxygen/take off and landing/evacuation requirements) give every Y passenger a bed, AND not be significantly more expensive? (In other words..carrying the same number of pax ?) It must be a truly out of the box solution. And no.. I...

Cash fares too. When eligible for reimbursement of Economy fares (only) I have had the advantage of it being for attending a "Team" event so I simply claim the same amount as other members of the team, while actually purchasing a higher/different class of travel. Its never been a...

Presumably the new bag charges will mirror those of the legacys? Thats likely to be the end of WN for me. If I have to pay for bags with them I may as well get the FF points from UA or AA. Especially since WN's fares have NOT been all that great for some time. Are there enough people like me...

That may well be. Which justifies calling out underperforming individuals. Not a whole age group.

I can only suggest the OLD Samsonite Oyster, but you'd have to find one second hand. Its within the standard 62" size requirement..not sure of the internal volume but I assume it is somewhat under 100 litres... (That Pelican is about 70" total) I use it for transporting my firearms and have...

Due to an NZ cancellation that would have led to a 15 hour layover in AKL I was offered UA839 LAX-SYD on thursday. The Polaris Lounge at LAX is very nice (especially for a US lounge) , as many have reported. The flight itself was on time, the seat was comfortable as a seat and as a bed...

Problem is exacerbated, customer is exasperated...;)

That SEN lounge access works of course for all *Golds... ( I was pleasantly surprised as an NZ Gold)

Always best to build in a good buffer when on separate tickets. Overnight has always worked for me (at least so far!) This "Y to Asia/J onwards" tactic is ALSO pretty good with two separately PAID tickets...far cheaper than OZ -Europe. Something to perhaps think about if Awards are not...

An extra bag, Lounge access, Priority boarding and security (where available) Preferred seating has never been a published *G benefit...of course you may get lucky at check in, some airlines provide more than published benefits.

Isn't MCT irrelevant on separate tickets?

This. Very likely the lower priced fare has more restrictions that the higher priced.

Will depend on whether AF will check the bags through then?

What did the baggage tags show? SYD-DFW-YVR?

Who was the 4th sector operated BY?

Had 4 nights in last week (National Capital Private in Canberra) First night liquid diet. Next day and night... NIL BY MOUTH!! Arrgghh! 🤣 Then Liquid diet for a day then finally "Light" for the final morning. Makes it hard to comment, there was so little food involved. Get pretty sick of Apple...
