    Latest AA Bonus Miles Offer (ends Dec31)

    So I emailed AA customer service about this, and then called their "Aadvantage account services" department as directed from the e-mail. After being on hold for a total of about 40 minutes, basically, there was a glitch that caused the miles not to post and they have no idea when it'll get...

    Valentine's Day miles offer

    Cost works out to $0.018 usd per mile at the 40k and 60k levels including bonuses. Not bad at all really.

    Looking to complete the AA Plat challenge, need a mileage run.

    Eww... wow, okay I didn't realize it was for mile earned instead of mile flown. That makes this much less attractive. I guess it's not the same as flying on AA flights where I got 0.5 EPQ per mile despite being in S class.

    Looking to complete the AA Plat challenge, need a mileage run.

    Hah. Awesome. Thanks for this tip and the other info. I thought "O" qantas gives 0.5 EQP. SIN-PER-SIN is 4.8k total miles according to gcmap resulting in 2.4k EQP which is enough. Am I doing that right? I'd love to do a better value run but I just don't have the time to do it right now.

    Looking to complete the AA Plat challenge, need a mileage run.

    Thanks for that info. I was noticing the "E" fare which didn't show up anywhere on the AA website. That's too bad. The PER-SIN direct prices on matrix at $300 (great!), but expedia.br is charging a $60 fee (yikes!).

    Bump. Just want to make sure this is the best forum to ask this. Or would flight assistance be better?

    Looking to complete the AA Plat challenge, need a mileage run.

    So I hope this is the right forum for this. I haven't really seen a mileage run help forum. I need about 1500 EQP to make the 10,000 EQP needed for the Platinum challenge before end of March. I'm have a good amount of QFF points that I can use for repositioning from Perth, but haven't had any...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Hah! He was in J, but I asked him almost the exact same question about whether J was comfortable. He just shook his head and looked sad.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    This is from a long time ago (September 28, 2012), but Yao Ming was hanging out in the Qantas lounge in Perth International waiting to take a China Southern flight. He's the tall guy hunched over on the jet bridge.

    Any benefits from DL when traveling?

    I haven't been able to find anything on this subject, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm a DL gold member and am wondering if I'd get any baggage allowance on Virgin Australia flights. I know it might just be a pipe dream, but knowing for sure would help me plan my PER-MEL trip. Thanks!

    Overseas Card for PhD Student

    I'm going to be travelling to China for a couple of weeks. I've tried applying for the 28 degress card, but have been rejected. PhD student + low stipend I guess. I'm looking for some advice that will allow me to access money from overseas without being killed by ANZ's fees. I've looked into...

    Suite Upgrades?

    I'm done with a-club. The chain just isn't any good. Booked stays at Novotel Airport Amsterdam, and Mercure Stoller Zurich as a Platinum. Some done through Kayak, some done through a-club website. No recognition of status at all even with the card. They claim that I didn't booked through A-club...
