  There is already a oneworld lounge in the international terminal at LAX. Do any others like this already exist?

  • Ed says:

    Technically it’s a Qantas lounge branded as Oneworld- these would be Oneworld operated.

      Interesting, I didn’t realise that. Thank you.

  OW should re-instate checking through luggage when connecting between OW carriers on separate tickets!

  • Mouse says:

    Amen to that. Less dancing, more offering useful services to customers.

    100% agree . When they stopped doing this I thought it was crazy decision. One of the main benefits of staying in Cineworld throughout your journey should be checked in luggage to final destination

      Plus the surround sound and popcorn…

        Plus no jetlag. 😀

          And films on a much bigger screen with better sound capability…

  What chance the virgin bonus points won’t be reclaimed after voluntary cancellation? Or will they only be awarded after flying?

  • Rhys says:

    Awarded after flying

  Don’t get this Virgin bonus thing. Just been doing dummy bookings on Virgin’s website and I get 12K points for an Economy Classic booking yet only 8K on a Prem Economy booking!

  As a retired long distance walker, I can thoroughly recommend Alaska particularly if the great outdoors is your thing. Thanks to Alaska I’ve been to remote outlets only accessible with them and stayed and met some really interesting people. It’s obviously not for all, if Dubai or the Caribbean is your annual choice but otherwise it is a fascinating place to visit, particularly using the ferries in combination with flights.

  That’s what Rob Gurney said when I asked him on Wednesday!

  You mention Cuba but I thought Virgin only offered that as part of a flight + hotel holiday package. No flights show up when you search and you’re prompted to call instead. Does this mean you cannot redeem miles to Cuba?

  • Paul Pogba says:

    2 Apr2 April 12:08

    I don’t know the detail but few flights to Cuba seem to show up on flight searches. I believe it has something to do with US sanctions. A guess might be that they only sell over the phone so they’re able to verify you’re not a US citizen or to prevent any IT with US integration being involved.

  BA did send someone for the safety dance! Not Sean, clearly, but they weren’t ‘absent’ as you suggest!
