    United wants to charge me for a schedule change

    Has similar with AA in that schedule change and the flights I wanted weren’t options. Picking up the phone was quick and easy and the agents sorted it with ease, for free. Quite impressive really. I have PTSD from QF calls where they make the problem worse for the first 3 calls (that you were...

    Trying to avoid 800K point spend on single return flight for 4ppl in X

    F,J,W and Y are the best way to refer to the classes here, just FYI. W being premium economy. No idea if you have enough points but your initial statement of not upsetting others with kids in J- no one cares. If you can, do it. I wouldn’t significantly sacrifice my own comfort just to show my...

    Seat selection after booking through third party

    Agree to check inclusions, but normally from seat selection it’s all the same. Sometimes the wholesalers are cheaper due to volume discounts or trying to meet targets. I’ve saved 40% on international business fares before.

    RTW via Star Alliance handed to Lufthansa - no communication with 'Star Alliance'

    Star alliance isn’t a carrier and doesn’t issue tickets. It’s also not a travel agent. So yes, this happens with all around the world tickets. Usually you just need the ticketing desk that deals with round the world tickets, but many agents have no idea. Are you certain the fare is upgradable...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Yeah, EF would tell you if the fare bucket was taken up, but as soon as you go to book you take the seats out of play for that fare code. I suspect it’s why some people believe that booking companies change the price on you the more searches you do. The reality is likely- seats finally sell and...

    Hack to extend payment

    It’s easier to not take a booking though, airfares can be a hassle with low commission compared to hotels or insurance. Which conversely are nearly no work and pay way higher! That said, I’d at most charge $50 or something for cancellation.

    Hack to extend payment

    I suspect you’d have to call and it still wouldn’t be possible, but the best way for this is use an agent. They can take part payment to the agency account, then get the next and so on until paid, then ticket it. Ticketing time limits vary with the airline, booking class and the wind so it...
