Can you explain how the “clearing” process works for upgrades? I know after I book a flight I have the option of requesting an upgrade. Is this the same as asking the day of the flight if there are any upgrades? I assume in both cases, they cost miles?

Back when I was in a booking frenzy a bit over a month ago, I wanted to be sure I booked something for Memorial Day weekend, since it’s usually a bump fest. While it’s not my favorite routing, I managed to book TPA-IAD-SFO-LAX-SAN for Saturday, then get on the SAN-ORD redeye, followed by ORD-SYR-IAD-TPA on [...]

We got to HNL around 8:30PM, and the airport was a zoo. Check-in areas were packed, but the F line wasn’t too long. We proceeded up there and got our boarding passes. The agent was pretty busy so I decided to ask at the RCC about reroute options ex-SFO and had the agent [...]

Eventually our rides showed up and we left to get outside. As I mentioned earlier this was my first time in HNL, and it’s a very interesting airport to say the least. First you can walk outside while still being airside, immediately next to the tarmac. You could easily throw something onto the [...]

Swiss just revealed their new business class product on a dedicated webpage which does a good job of showing all of the features. It’s very nice, and looks like it’s the same design as the new DL BusinessElite, a Thompson Solutions seat. The seat looks basically flat to me (and they do say it’s horizontal), so [...]

UA1588, TPA-IAD, 05/16, 0600-0817
My morning started at 3:30AM, which was way too early for me. Considering it was a six hour time change to Hawaii it was really 9:30PM there, and dinner was still 23 hours away. I showered, [...]

Per Flying Critic:
And the fees keep coming. Now American Airlines will charge you $15 to check your FIRST bag. Elites are exempt. So are international itineraries. But otherwise expect to pay up for checking a bag. I expect them to increase enforcement of carry-on size restrictions. I also expect United and others to join the [...]
