I’m honestly still trying to wrap my head around this. I paid $7,744 for a roundtrip ticket. Due to everything going sideways on the way home, I had to cancel my return flight. When I contacted Qatar Airways about the refund, they told me I’d only get about $2,000 back for the...

I feel this. I flew economy for years thinking business class was just for CEOs and influencers 😅 Retail prices are wild. Seeing $4k to $5k next to a $700 economy ticket hurts. From what I’ve seen, the only times it drops close to that $2k range are random sales, mistake fares,...

Saw this pop up and figured I’d share for anyone playing the GoWild game. It’s an independent search tool focused just on Frontier that scans routes and highlights GoWild availability, calendar view, even day trip ideas. Apparently it broke when Frontier changed their API but...

Was at SFO the other day and heard this at the gate next to mine. United flight to Melbourne was overweight and they needed volunteers. At first nobody moved. They kept raising it and eventually it was $3000 in United credit, hotel for the night, and confirmed in business on the...

I’ve seen the “1 to 3 months before departure” rule everywhere, but within that window how do you know when you’re actually getting a good price? I’ve checked Google Flights for trends and set alerts on Hopper and Skyscanner. Just wondering if there’s anything else people use,...

This feels like one of those happy accident bookings. Originally had a roundtrip JAL business class ticket from YYZ to HKG, connecting via JFK outbound and Chicago on the return. The JFK to HND leg was on the new JAL A350 1000, which was already a win. Then a schedule change...

I keep seeing posts about empty leg flights and it always feels too good to be true. Flying private for way cheaper than normal just sets off my scam alarm. I understand the basic idea that these are repositioning flights, but I’m curious what the real downsides are once you...

Might be a dumb question, but I really want to fly on a 747 at least once before they disappear. I know Lufthansa is one of the last airlines flying the 747-8, and I was looking at Mexico City to Frankfurt. Prices surprised me though. Everything I’m seeing is well over $1,000...

Flying DXB to London in two days and currently on an Economy Flex ticket. When I checked in online, I’m seeing an upgrade offer to Premium Economy for £261, but nothing showing for Business. There is a Business upgrade option for about £1.1k if I try before check in, which is...

First time using Ryanair and not sure how their pricing usually works. Planning a mid-week trip in early June from Milan to Madrid. Right now there’s a Pig seat sale showing a €33.31 base fare. It was €29.90 yesterday, so it’s already crept up a bit. I’m wondering if I should...

I keep hearing “don’t book flights through Amex Travel,” but I’m not sure why. Say I use Amex points to book a Singapore Airlines ticket, and I add my United number do I still earn United miles and status credit? Feels like using points and earning miles would be a win, but...
