Airlines Discussions

Has anyone noticed a distinct delta in the share of men vs. women in this industry in long-term relationships? I’ve observed (even for LGBT individuals) that nearly all my male colleagues are in committed relationships while almost none of my female ones are

Booking a delta award ticket and getting a redemption rate of 1.3 cents / mile. I know TPG values sky miles @1.2 cents. However, have you seen better rates in your experience? Debating cash vs miles

Which airline are you loyal to? I like JetBlue but I’m sad that they don’t do international flights. I’ve tried AA and their planes and seats seem really rundown.
Please no Spirit.

I’m going to be 3 flights short of A list on southwest,. Is it worth it to try and find a few quick trips before the end of the year?

Does it make sense for a airline travel card? I keep eyeing the Delta / Amex cards for the redemption bonus miles, but can’t really see the benefit in earning strictly miles over MR. I’ve googled and still can’t see it. Am I missing something?

If I currently have a southwest chase card open but want to close it and reopen to get bonus miles, is there a time line? I earned the original bonus over 24 months ago. Does the card need to be closed for a certain amount of time before I can apply again?

Not a consulting question: so I’m trying to book a refundable ticket on delta from nyc to paris. I might have to cancel it if my visa doesn’t come through in time. What percentage of the flight fare will I get back typically? I know it varies across airlines but just want to brace myself for surprises

Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan (OneWorld) vs United Airlines MileagePlus (Star Alliance)?

Best delta lounge in ATL?

Based off my travel plans over the next two months I will end the year 100 MQMs shy of achieving Delta Gold status. Will they round up? What should I do?

Has United Airlines extended our premiere status to 2023? I’m not ready to give up my Gold status this January 😭

How is KLM economy class?

Complicated airline mileage program question. Relocated to SFO. Have been earning miles on Delta Skymiles and SingaporeAir’s Krisflyer. Should I switch to UA or Alaska mileage programs or stick to SQ while flying United? I like AS because it’s now part of OneWorld (which AA is part of) and also allows earning on Singapore Airlines. Generally I hate United.

Value in getting the Delta Reserve?

I’m essentially trying to maximize chances of getting upgraded on a flight to Hawaii.

Award ticket from MSP - Platinum Medallion. Not a corporate ticket.

I already have the Platinum and could use the MQM

Considering signing up for one of the Southwest credit cards. I’ve read a few articles but still am a bit confused on the best way to maximize the benefits, including getting the companion pass. Any tips would be appreciated!

Delta status question. I have silver status but am probably going to miss it by a tiny bit this year. I know it rolls over to next year but will my mqms rollover too? Technically I am silver so they should but also I didn’t meet this years requirements so I could see why they wouldn’t too. Confused by this.

Has anyone interviewed for the strategy analyst position at American Airlines? Could you give me any pointers?

Do you think with Delta+ on the way agencies who have mandated RTO will send people home again?

Never flown out of Midway before in Chicago. Taking a 6am flight Monday morning with Southwest. How early do I need to get there with TSA precheck?

So… Delta Plus, huh?

Which CC is better for sign-up bonus - Citi Premier 80K points or Chase Aer Lingus/Iberia 100K Avios points?

I churn somewhat regularly and am under 5/24 by 1. I think Citi's points are more valuable but maybe I should knock out another Chase card before I'm at 5/24 again, even though Avios isn't as versatile?

Helppppp, I am a Delta gal but have been stuck at silver for two years. How do I accelerate my status???

Anyone traveled recently from USA to India via British Airways?? What are the requirements if we transiting via UK. DFW - Heathrow - BLR

Have about $500 in Delta refunds that I need to use. Where should I go this weekend? Would fly out of Pittsburgh 🙂

Anyone joining Delta Airlines?

For those who have flown JetBlue recently, have they been strict on the personal and carry on bag limit? Looks like they recently made it harder to bring 2 bags (backpack +small suitcase) and I haven't flown with them since this change

What’s the best lounge to kill two hours in Dulles? Lufthansa, British Air, or Turkish Air?

Is TCS providing free Air India ticket for going back to base location?

Can anyone in the UK / EU comment on this Delta Plus variant situation? Is it as bad as the international media is making it seem?

I currently have MVP Status which was gifted to me pre covid and it’ll expire some time in 2022. I doubt alaska will extend again if I don’t hit the mileage requirements. I have a few trips planned and want to get an airlines CC. At the moment I do not have one. What airline should I go with? I fly west coast a lot with some ski resort destination across the US. Im leaning towards Delta but wanted to get some thoughts. Also does anyone in here have more than one airline CC?

What’s your credit card line up and why? I’m shopping around for new cards to maximize points for travel and hotels.

Currently have the Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, Amex Hilton Surpass, and an American Airlines card.

Agency Talent: with the Delta variant we’d all rather wait until 2022 to make a return-to-office decision.

TBWA: how about monday?

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻American Airlines and Marriott extend status for another year🥺.

Need help. Wife is United Silver. United ticketed Lufthansa operated / united operated business class ticket booked on united club mileage plus card. Lufthansa canceled the segments. United says it needs to rebook with Air India / Air Vistara for the canceled segment. They say there is going to be a fare difference since united doesnt have protection agreement. What are my options? Can the credit card pay for the trip insurance (their feature) for fare difference? Ideas? Thank you fam

Anyone flown singapore airlines premium economy? Just booked using chase points but wondering if business class would have been a better upgrade over economy?
