    Passport Premiere

    With thousands of 1st-air.net related links,there are unfortunately a few that are negative . While Passport Premiere and its partners strive to exceed its members expectations, a small group opted to post derogatory comments over a 15 year period. It is believed that the links referenced by the...

    [fare gone] Yangon to New York, London etc. R/T in Business under $850

    Re: [fare gone] Yangon to New York, London etc. R/T in C < $800 In airline terms, the deals not closed until the ticket is issued. You may have a while before travel, but the more time that goes by from the closure of this loop hole will make it harder to get it issued at this fare level. Once...

    Passport Premiere

    Serfty We thought the purpose of a moderator was to remain objective. Your post regarding Passport Premiere and our marketing partner appear to be nothing short of scathing to say the least. Are you even familiar with our methodology? You state that the chances of failure are too high? Is this...

    AA DONE4 Pricing Ex New Zealand - HELP!

    Saw the comments about asking for the first segment to be on AA. Sometimes you have to be careful of what you wish for. Until there is clarity on their future, there is some risks associated with a long, future dated , multisegment itinerary being paid via AA. For travel in the next month or two...

    Re: [fare gone] Yangon to New York, London etc. R/T in C < $800 You can bet that someone from SIA found it listed here,through a Google search, or otherwise and made the correction When these pricing holes get airborne, they get plugged quick Max Bennett Passport Premiere

    Looking for a <$100 NYC Hotel 22-24 July

    We were going to suggest the POD but it didn't appear to be available on some of the dates. Very close to our office and in a good area on the east side. But as for the property itself, what did you think of it? Never been inside and would like some input Best Max Bennett Passport Premiere

    Around the World /Circle Pacific Input and expertise

    Thanks for the note, and you correctly use the term 'value' rather than 'pricing. This is the very core of the argument. While gold can be (and will be ) subject to price swings with momentum the value for the buyer/ holder is clear. It is easy to identify the demand for the metal, the...

    Around the World /Circle Pacific Input and expertise

    No problem and thanks for the input Our point is that gold is a commodity. Like gold, airline seats are also commodities. Not on all routes, but several, carriers create fares that increase in value as the departure date approaches. It assumes that someone planning on short notice is so...

    AA DONE4 Pricing Ex New Zealand - HELP!

    Paddy Couple of pointers. For this to be an Around the World, you need to cross both the Pacific and Atlantic once and only once. If you fly Cathay between New York and Hong Kong, then it doesn't qualify as an Around the World ticket. To fix this up, you could fly JFK-Heathrow on...

    Please help with my Europe and New York Itinerary!

    Just a note to let you know your Avatar is great. We need to set one up as well. Sad to say, I was recently at Heathrow with an 11 year old and he saw the sign "Concorde Lounge" Next question was "What does Concorde mean" It was a reality check for me, as I had to explain that once upon a time...

    Around the World /Circle Pacific Input and expertise

    Thanks for the e-mail. We are here to coach on ways to set up a trip for maximum value. If an end supplier wants to offer discounts/freebies then great, but that is not the role of Passport Premiere. Travel, in particular premium class air travel, is a trade and not a static purchase The public...

    It's got a bit urgent to get to LHR and need a comfortable cheap business class seat

    Re: It's got a bit urgent to get to LHR and need a comfortable cheap business class s There was a post here earlier today about RGN-SIN-LHR for $850 round trip with Singapore Airlines in business. Sure, you still need to get to RGN but you now have a lot of room to work with. Will add an extra...

    Wow, pricing is certainly high from Australia If you travel with frequency, why not start purchasing this in the reverse? <redacted>

    Looking for a <$100 NYC Hotel 22-24 July

    If you find one now at that level, then you should go ahead. But as hotel inventory devalues as the check in date approaches, and summer in the city (our summer yes) is the soft season we would suspect rates will come down by early July. You you may want to check again in early July, but your...

    Booked F but Ticketted Y

    Very strange, but may have to do with the booking engine reading the booking class one way but the host system (SABRE) doing something else. As long as you are fixed up all that maters

    Airlines make upgrades a bidding game online

    In this example, the seat is only worth 11K if there is an established market for a specific flight with buyer wiling to pay the premium. Not just NZ, but carriers the world over are finding that the biz class premiums have run up too far to fast. On some flights there is sufficient demand, on...

    Status credit earning on Delta

    Delta or V America within the U.S? V America in business is FAR superior. No contest. Only caviat is if you route LAX-ATL-MCO and use the Delta 777 with the flat beds then DL may be a better fit. But if comparing nonstop to nonstop, V America

    Routes selling First as Business, Business as Premium

    This is quite interesting. So you are suggesting that on the Sydney Dallas route, if you book a biz class fare you are actually sitting in Qantas First and if you buy premium economy you are sitting in Qantas business?

    Please help with my Europe and New York Itinerary!

    Just a couple of thoughts to tweak your trip, or make it harder for you to decide and put it together A) Need one more day in Rome .Too much history to see or miss not seeing with just two days B) Milan is an industrial city, and if you really want to go then great but think you will find more...
