    10/3 is showing 787-9 at the moment, so old CW. If they swap to 777, it’s likely to be CS.

    @qc I’m confused. Only because Rob’s latest article states the following

    “You CAN use two cabin upgrade vouchers on the same booking if you have two in your account, to upgrade both legs of a return flight for two people.”

    Therefore, if two of us were to fly for LHR to xxx destination. Can we use one voucher to upgrade the outbound leg and then another voucher to upgrade the return leg?

    Even if we have to book them as one way tickets.

    I have the same question, what do I do if I’m booking flights at 355days out for two people? Do I use two vouchers to book the outbound for two people, then call to add inbound when it’s available? I can’t book two one-way outbound, then use the other voucher for inbound, as it needs to start at the UK.

    Good morning from Madeira. So grateful to be here after seeing all the disruptions at Gatwick. Our flight was delayed by 1hr45min yesterday, but wasn’t due to fog. It was due to someone passport was issued over 10 years ago and need to unload their bags. Then one of the panels is not closing properly and need engineers to sort it. Then we need to swap one of the crews. While we were waiting one of passengers threw up two rows behind us. I was thinking we may delay further if we need to offload the unwell person. But we finally on our way after almost 2hrs delay. We arrived just under an hour later than scheduled. We are off the plane, passport controls, baggage reclaim, correct hire care, all within 25mins and the sun is shining. Kids straight into the heated pool when we got to the villa. Looking forward to a restful week in Madeira!

    I have 2 tickets spare but I’m waiting for them to drop into my inbox. I will put them out here when I see them in my inbox.

    AA use 787-8 from DFW to HNL, so full flat in business.

    Bonus points has stopped posting instantly for the past two weeks. Tweeted nectar and they said they are aware of the issue and points will be posted within 28days, future points should be post within 48hrs. I won’t hold my breath until though, I’m missing about 1400 bonus points so far.

    Is everyone experiencing the delay?? Thanks.

    2 weeks ago they credited them immediately over live chat. Yesterday they gave me the same credit within 28 days answer.

    That’s annoying, I’m not going to forever keep track on my bonus points!

    Hello, just used curve in SF for Uber, charge was $61.30, instant notification shows £50.82, but app is showing £98.79. Is this just an error and will sort itself out in time or do I need to message customer service? Thanks.

    Avios tracker seems to be couple of days behind in the app.

    I’ve been using Lloyds MasterCard to pay VW finance monthly, never charged as cash advance. Let’s hope Barclaycard works the same!

    We stayed at Altiplanico Easter Island few years back. It’s not a luxury hotel, but the setting is beautiful and authentic.

    Did some shop small spending yesterday and today, but realise the offer not actually saved on my card. Added the offer today, all transactions still pending, any chance of triggering without ringing Amex?? T&C doesn’t actually say you have to add offer before spending to qualify, it says you must add offer and spend before the offer ends.
