I’ll be flying with Air France / KLM on my birthday and I was wondering if they ever do anything onboard to acknowledge it, such as a small surprise or dessert, or if that is not something they typically offer. If it is possible, does it need to be arranged in advance through...

Hello, Just a heads-up for anyone ordering food delivery to hotels in Las Vegas. Please make sure you are available on your phone when your order arrives. If the delivery instructions say “leave in lobby” and I cannot reach you, I have no option but to leave it there. I only...

I’ve been using Marriott Bonvoy Nightly Upgrade Awards (NUAs) quite a bit this year, but I have yet to get a single one approved. I’ve tried both short and long stays, weekdays and weekends, across different brands, and every request has been declined so far. My most recent...

Hello, I’ve noticed on many daytime flights that the cabin lights are often dimmed shortly after takeoff, sometimes making the cabin feel very dark even when it is still broad daylight outside. I’m curious about the reasoning behind this. A few decades ago this didn’t seem as...

I fly First Class on Delta fairly often, and I’ve always been used to flight attendants taking drink orders shortly after boarding. However, over my last three flights in the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a change. On two of those flights, no drink orders were taken until well...

This will be my first time flying with Turkish Airlines, so I wanted to get some input from more experienced travelers. I booked an economy ticket from LAX to Munich, but my return flight from Munich to LAX is in business class. The price difference was significant. Business...
