Not "lately", but this travel mistake just sprang to mind.

If visiting Cambridge specifically because you want to see Kings college chapel again, make sure to check that it's not graduation time, because you won't be allowed in.
 
Booked a CR via Hong Kong over another routing because of the attraction of lounges for a 6 hour stopover with OWE status. Of course, the onward leg is with Jetstar Japan and the alternative routing is now unavailable…

You should get access using the One-World rule based on the arriving flight being long-haul. Paging @serfty to the yellow courtesy phone.
 
Not a true mistake, but a dilemma of my own making. Inching towards LTP picked up a BA J, ARN > LHR, then LHR > VIE at less than $5 a SC. Dilemma is arrive LHR at 22:35 and depart next day at 7:35. Thinking of snoozing in the lounge (which I have done on too many occasions), but it closes at 10pm. Aerohotel wants £230 for the few hours, so do I sleep in Terminal 3? I've gone the option of the Renaissance for £100, so bumps up the cost of SC. Bugger!!!!!!
