Tips, Tricks, and Travel with Lucky
As I posted about a few days ago, Cathay Pacific has plenty of award space in first class on the YYZ-HKG route for the next year or so, even for two people on the same flight, which is very rare otherwise. YYZ-HKG is operated by the 777-300ER, which has only six seats in first class, so seeing 1/3 [...]

We are moving forward with reconfiguring 18 Boeing 757 for use on international routes. The reconfiguration includes the installation of new seats, new cabin interiors and updated in-flight entertainment systems throughout [...]

Another interesting video story (because let’s face it, I’m lazy and don’t like reading), this time about an AA flight that was cancelled. The crew showed up late for the flight from MIA to LGA, and apparently they were booed by passengers when they arrived, and possibly had some not-so-nice stuff yelled at them as [...]

Well folks, time has flown by, and tomorrow I’m off to Paris on the inaugural OpenSkies flight. You can of course expect a full report with pictures and more commentary than you could ever dream of.
I’m checked in for my AA flight from TPA-JFK tomorrow (departs at noon), and I’m desperately hoping it’s not delayed. [...]

Looks like AA has added quite a few fees for upgrades/awards. First of all is a $5 fee for booking awards on aa.com (Executive Platinum members are exempt). As minor as it is, this is the most ridiculous change in my opinion, since there’s absolutely no way to avoid this when redeeming for a “free ticket.” Still [...]

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.
