Did you ever stop to think that some Platinum One members might think that mere Platinum's should be removed, as well ?Just asking for a friend :-)

Sid - I appreciate your comment above.However, I seriously object to the wholesale removal of the original posts on this thread, without some sort of comment by the administrator(s) as to 1) the fact that posts have been removed and 2) no explanatory reason for their removal. Doesn't need to be v...

Have to concur with StuParr (above). Polaris information is spot on - but 45 mins to clear Customs and Immigration in SFO? You may need that lounge access more than you think, as you await to join a later flight. It seems to me that your planned connection is less than the required MCT (minimum c...

Hi kctoo - Emirates (EK) typically release their Award inventory only 330 days in advance of travel IINM. Given you are looking to travel on the 28th January 2025, you are "jumping the gun" a little bit, so to speak, which is why you're not seeing inventory. Not all airlines release their invento...

It has just been announced that Akbar Al Baker is leaving the CEO position (and the airline) effective 05 November, 2023. No comment from AAB included in the statement from Qatar Airways, which makes this even more interesting.AAB has certainly been a controversial leader but there is absolutely ...

Over the past 3 years, I have visited this city 5 times and spent an average of 2 weeks in this destination at a time (I'm directly...

Just spent 5 weeks in the USA and entered and left - internationally - via LAX, which I haven't been through in 4 years.My arrival time on Fiji Airways from SYD/NAN into LAX was at 2pm in the afternoon. Including luggage collection and CBP it took approximately 45-50 minutes to exit the terminal....

@XWu,I can agree with your (Point 3) comment on 'limited border control space' (it is, after all, on-call). However, I cannot accept your assertion of 'limited experience in Newcastle'. Yes, it is an outlier regional destination BUT from the point of a serious incident, you do realize that NTL is...
