BA has issued a further update to the changes they announced on Friday to the OnBusiness Small and Medium business rewards scheme. I reviewed these changes yesterday and you can read about them here. It appears however, that in an added twist members of OnBusiness in the USA are being told that it is being…
American Airlines if offering free enrolment in Global Entry to its crews according to a press release it issued last week. “American is proud to be the first airline to offer Global Entry membership free of charge to all of our eligible pilots and flight attendants,” said Tim Campbell, American Airlines senior vice president of…
I was originally booked on this flight when it arrived in to LA at 0855. American appearing to be padding their schedules, a trick that airlines do in order to get better on-time performance data. It is odd that American have done this on 3 April, Good Friday as I don’t see it as a…

About two weeks ago American Airlines clarified a problem I had where they turned me away from the Flagship Check-in at JFK. At that point AA were saying that it was because I was on an award ticket. Yesterday, however, they changed their minds: This matches up to the web site and whilst it makes…
I have written before about problems securing TSA Precheck when travelling on USAirways, even on the same ticket as an American flight when you secure Precheck. I always credit my AA/US flight to my BA account so it’s not that which is the problem. I have found that by looking at your UK site booked…
I wrote in October about my experience being turned away from the Flagship Check-in at JFK, despite being travelling in First on a three-class transcontinental aircraft. When in the lounge at JFK the staff indicated that this was because I was not on a full-fare ticket. The AA web site says that the following people…
Having booked a trip several months ago I have come to realise that schedule changes can work to your advantage. All you need is a plan, and an agent that doesn’t quite know all the rules. The rule that should have prevented me securing the three class First cabin on my flight from LA to…
