American – where upgrades beat out revenue passengers on a full flight

April 3, 2015 by MilesFromBlighty 8 Comments

Several weeks ago I booked a ticket which featured early morning segments from JFK to LA and onwards to Honolulu. Roll forwards and the schedule padding to accommodate the runway works at LAX kicks in and AA rebook my flight to a lunchtime departure with a minuscule 40 minute connecting time at LA. So, today…

The dreaded ‘X’ on my Global Entry receipt

April 3, 2015 by MilesFromBlighty 4 Comments

I arrived early yesterday evening from Madrid on Iberia to JFK’s Terminal 7. Zipping past the queue to go to the GE kiosks I thought it odd that I had not been asked about which flight I had landed on. Answering all the Customs questions with the usual ‘No’, I then got a message to…

Heathrow Terminal moves – Summer 2015

April 1, 2015 by MilesFromBlighty

In the continuing attempt to empty T1 of flights pending redevelopment, BA shunts its last remaining flights to T5 and displaces some shorthaul to T3 over the summer. Other airlines move to be closer to partners. With TAM merged with LAN it makes sense for it to go to T3 as it is in OneWorld…

Avios gone? And they’re back

March 30, 2015 by MilesFromBlighty

a close-up of a card

Just logged in to my BA account and a further ex-gracia transaction has occurred which recredits the number of Avios which BA deducted earlier in the week as a safety measure following a security breach at the third party. You can read the post here. BA initially told me it would take two weeks for…

Flying from Dublin to New York with AA over the summer – check your bookings

March 29, 2015 by MilesFromBlighty 4 Comments

a screenshot of a phone

AA has done a bit of a bait-and-switch with their Dublin to JFK flights over the summer. Without any announcement they have replaced the nice new 767, with proper flat beds, with a grotty old 757 with their not-flat, very sloped beds. Of course the cabin shrinks so check your bookings as you may end…

So how was the US/AA merger for you?

March 29, 2015 by MilesFromBlighty

I’m all done this morning and whilst a little disappointed that I didn’t cross another Million Miler milestone with the merger it all seems to be OK. Here is my new-look account information: I had hoped a lot of my AmericaWest flights would have pushed the Million Miler balance to 3 million, but it’s not…

Avios gone? What the BA email says

a close-up of a card

I wrote earlier this morning about the problem with BA accounts being frozen. A couple of people has asked to see the email. The text is below: Dear Customer British Airways has become aware of some unauthorised activity in relation to your Executive Club account. This appears to have been the result of a third party using information obtained…

Avios gone? Why I’m pretty calm about the whole thing.

March 28, 2015 by MilesFromBlighty 13 Comments

a close-up of a card

There is hysteria in the air on the internet. Yesterday blogger after blogger went in to meltdown because BA had identified a security breach and were proactively taking steps to prevent problems with members accounts. These two steps were (a) forcing a password change on your account and (b) moving your avios out of your…
