    I wanted to write a brief review of my hotel in Paris, the Dress Code Hotel. As previously mentioned I have stayed here 3 times in 1 year, so yeah, I like it lol. I was given the same room (room 406), which has a view of some rooftops, basically no view, but I don't mind because rooftops are...

    Good news from Lufthansa this morning: I am receiving 750 Euros for my cancelled flight (due to the Lufthansa strike on March 12). I just completed the bank form and they say the money will be in my account in 10 business days. YAY! Thank you for your correspondence dated March 24, 2024...

    I think that you can change the flight. The CSRs at BA are amazing -- call and let them know which flight you want to change to and they will let you know if it's available and if there is an additional Avios cost.

    I was just checking my e-mail and Lufthansa responded the same day that I filed for EU261 compensation (March 14th). I filed for the cost of the Balmoral for the additional night -- if they cover it, that would be AMAZING! Thank you very much for your claim dated March 14, 2024. We are happy...

    I found a few hotels in London with 3 beds: Lime Tree Hotel in Belgravia, it's a Mr. & Mrs. Smith hotel, so perhaps points option will open up with Hyatt in the next few months as Hyatt rolls them into their portfolio; I'm not in love with Belgravia as a location, but if it fits your needs and...

    Three beds in London is a bit of a unicorn. I think @CyndiLouWho had a room with a bed for her ds in London, but I can't recall the name. Do you have URs? I can't think of a Hilton, Marriott or Hyatt that has a base room with an extra bed, but you'd have a lot more choices with URs. Otherwise...

    Sorry to hear about your recent medical diagnosis. Not sure how big your spend is, but you could do a MDD (CSP and CSR). URs are my favorite points currency.

    I don't think any parts of central London will be super quiet, but double-glazing on room windows makes a huge difference. I've also stayed at the Conrad St. James (street-facing room) and didn't have any issues with noise. The reason that I didn't stay there again is that I wanted to be on more...

    A brief review of the Mayfair Townhouse (in London). I was able to get an offer from the hotel website: "stay 2 nights or more, save 30%" + 50pound f&b credit. This made the rate unbeatable and the location, being a 4 minute walk from Green Park tube station (which has 3 lines) made it ideal. I...

    I got home from my Edinburgh, London and Paris trip last night. In the past I have said that I have some seriously bad luck when I travel (I had to leave a day early because of the Lufthansa strike, which affected my FRA-->EDI flight), and that statement stands. I knew in advance of my travels...

    I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad just over 12 yrs ago (March 11th) and still feel his loss.

    Currently in Paris, really enjoying myself, as usual! Staying at my ‘usual’ hotel (3rd time in a year), and while I like it, next time I’m in Paris I may move to a hotel just up the street to try something different! While I may try a new hotel, I won’t leave this area (the 9th, but only 1 block...

    Yes, all non-stop. AA flies at least 2 flights a day to LHR from both ORD and JFK.

    I checked a few random dates in the summer and see ORD to LHR for 57.5k points in biz class booked with AA but on BA metal, but over $700.00 in fees OUCH; 72k points on AA metal with $5.60 in taxes. I’d definitely book with AA at 72k points for the lower taxes. AA also flies to LHR out of CLT...

    Congrats to your DD for acceptance into the research project! If you’re looking for other options on getting to EDI, it might be worth trying to fly into LHR, then either taking a BA flight to Edinburgh or heading into the city to take the LNER. Might give you more cost-effective options, plus...

    @SleepyatDVC I’ll chime in on top tier status at hotels (I have Marriott plat & Hilton diamond but will lose both this month). I found myself looking only at those brands when I traveled and often paying more to make use of and maintain status. I feel much freer now and find that I prefer small...

    Currently on the LNER (train) from Edinburgh to London. When I arrived at the station for my 9:30am train the boards noted that it had been cancelled. Proceeded to the LNER office in the station and got re-booked on the 10:30 train. Irritating as I could’ve spend a bit more time enjoying my room...

    I made it to Edinburgh. AC called United ops who confirmed that biz class on the EWR —> EDI flight was oversold and I’d have to wait at the gate for either a no show or someone willing to give up their seat for compensation and a seat on the next plane. Hard pass. I ended up getting the last...

    I can't believe I'm having another major issue with my travel to Edinburgh tomorrow. I swear I'm having the worst luck lately. I got a text this morning that my flight tomorrow (which was YYZ-->JKF-->FRA-->EDI) had changed to YYZ-->EWR-->EDI. The reason: Lufthansa is staging a 2 day strike at...

    Yes please! Which airline? I'm doing Taipei to Toronto on AVA in September, another super long flight, but ANA biz class is supposed to be amazing. Regardless the long flight time scares me a little bit.
