The Nadi lounge has to be the strictest lounge I have ever been to. The staff are just plain rude and inflexible. About 18 months ago, I was travelling with my family and they refused to let 2 guests in (eventhough the lounge was empty). It is the only lounge that has ever happened, empty or...

Its an Aussie 1-800 number!

Was on an AA flight TPA-MIA in First, now I realise the flight is only about 45mins, but the attendant just sat and read her book the entire trip. A couple of us went up to her and asked for a bottle of water...she denied us, claiming the flight wasn't catered. Personally I think she couldn't be...

How come I have been trying all day and AA's centre gives me an engaged number 1-800-673-486 sourced off AA.com Do I have the right number?

Anybody know why there were 2 Northwest 747s parked in Sydney today? They were by the pond at the end of the Qantas domestic terminal where the BA planes normally are. One was new NWA livery and the other the old. Seemed weird, perhaps US military charters?

Yep, I have flown AA every Christmas for about the past 5 years and every year around October/November time I get a call telling me the flight times have been changed, aircraft types have changed, or flights have been cancelled altogether. AA are usually pretty good about it though and let your...

I think CDG-JFK is more than 500 miles!

NM is right at ORD if you are flying AA you don't have the option of using BA lounge as it is in T5 and you don't have access to it! No AC at Tampa and don't expect ANYTHING on the TPA/MIA portion. I flew it last month in a full First cabin. The over-aged flight attendant sat down and read her...

Surely you will be able to check in for the QF/TN codeshare in Brisbane when you check-in for your domestic flight. The security at SYD international is a mess though...really busy with people throwing out their liquids, gels and creams! Make sure you haven't got any liquid/gel/cream/paste more...

Control sheet is hidden in Excel

I would seriously reconsider booking direct with AA again. I seem to have had nothing but problems trying to pay for it. I did the itinerary through the US ATW desk as trying the Indian desk resulted in the line being dropped twice and having to repeat my self 3 times to be understood. So on...

Yeah the problem is the spreadsheet doesn't take into account routes and all the possible variations of airports. It would be good if you could just put in the cities and it caulculated the mileage and knew if it was ineligible (ie JFK-LHR BA), but I think it is beyond my Excel skills! Would...

Try this one...

Sounds good...I'm surprised nobody has done it before, there are a few around but they are too basic: only AA, don't look at fare buckets, dont take into account when you qualify for next status, etc, etc. Take your time, I'm sure it must have mistakes.

I have created a mileage calculator for people to figure out what Q-points, Q-miles, etc they will earn with AA on all the airlines. It is currently Beta as I am sure it has bugs that somebody will figure out, so have a play and test and let me know if you discover any issues.

Tried calling the Indian call centre twice today to book my LONE4. First the agent told me I should do it online! This already said to me, he didn't want to do it or had no clue. Then when I was on my second sector the line clicks and hangs up. So I try again. The next agent wasn't that great...

I flew Air Pacific to Fiji, a non-oneworld carrier, on a QF flight number and got full eligible AAdvantage miles, Q-miles and Q-points. So from my experience you get all the perks despite what AA say. I guess they wouldn't guarantee it though if something went wrong. Risk I had to take...
