Thanks MEL. It's never fun to miss any flights, but it's good to know all the options we have if it does happens.

Thanks for the responses. @sprucegroose. I'm not forcing them to do anything. I'm just wondering whether it's a legitimate response in situations of missed double connections. Would/do the airline consider this possibility? I've noticed situations where passengers who missed a CX flight were...

Hi guys, Say you were traveling SYD-BKK-IST-LHR with TG and TK. If the SYD-BKK flight is delayed and you end up missing the BKK-IST-LHR flight, how would they sort it out? Would TG just put you on a direct flight BKK-LHR on TG? Would they reissue the new, missed, itinerary (BKK-IST-LHR)...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion Are you guys referring to desktop Skype or the mobile version? Or are both the same?

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion I take the point MEL, but if we're playing that kind of game, then why bother listing the (many) countries that constitutes North and South Asia? Why not just put Thailand under South Asia and China/South Korea under North Asia? Also...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion Why do we have to be forced to jump over hurdles, run through hoops and cross our fingers just for something as straightforward as HKG-BKK-MEL? I mean really? Is it too much of me to expect Lifemiles to be like every other FFP program, and...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion Do you guys think that this 'tech support' issue is going to be resolved soon? Is it a deliberate block by Lifemiles?

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion Why does it keep getting worse for us? The discount for Oceania - North Asia is not worth all of this (insert expletive) we have to put up with...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion Does anyone know the situation with Air India? Do they only release one award seat at a time or something?

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - Questions and Discussion Thanks for re-stating the manual booking process MEL_Traveller. Two questions though: (1) Can you pay with the 'More Cash, Less Miles' scheme with the manual bookings? and (2) Can you achieve the same effect by calling them instead of emailing?

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A There a bunch of trick-it routes that only have Y availability. Is this route one of them? (i.e. have you managed to find any J or F availability).

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A This is In Y right?

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Could you post the details please? I haven't seen any availability for $1500 since August.

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A That Air India price doesn't exist anymore AFAIK.

But what about their (lack of) partners? Their FFP becomes useless the moment you don't fly on PR. With VA, for example, you still get miles and status recognition with EY, SQ etc. The mainland Chinese carriers have Skyteam and *Alliance. Royal Brunei, at least, has Asia Miles. You misread my...

Biggest issue is their FFP. I mean, how many times does one expect to use PR (unless if you actually need a direct flight to MNL)? Also, MNL is not a great airport, and lounge access is only for J pax flying on PR (Star Alliance Gold, Oneworld Emerald will be worthless on PR metal). But fares...

I'm not a fan of their new "Express" service. The food is not that great despite the constant Masterchef-esque hype. I know it's cost cutting, but I feel a bit let down having satays, a starter, then a main, then dessert on MH to having a pie (yes, that's right...just a single pie on a plate...

Darn it. Chef on Call doesn't work :(

$250 for two Y tickets doesn't seem that expensive. Unless you booked a fully flexible ticket?

This really has no value unless it affects revenue at the end of the day, and apparently it doesn't. $245 million loss (2012) is not worth sustaining just because some people prefer SIN.
