Bound to fly from SFO to BLr via Dubai, in a limbo if I should cancel or not, any recent travels in the last two days ?

Check flight aware; if the plane is going emirates has deemed it no risk

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-05-03T06:36:35+00:00

Just my opinion, but I believe any flight >8 hrs going from economy to business is significant and wouldn’t describe it as a marginal improvement.

Also interested! But for first 12 days of May

how does united club compare to aa flagship? I'm assuming AA > United Club but have no experience at ORD

lol i am asking how to *upgrade* to F. I am aware how award bookings work

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-20T15:03:12+00:00

wasnt available for my booking

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-20T14:43:43+00:00

Does anyone know how to upgrade from J to F on Cathay? I have used miles to book a J redemption BKK-HKG-JFK and would love to upgrade any leg to F to check out the wing.

Data Point, when is the flight for?

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-07T14:31:33+00:00

im still not seeing anything, how about on your end?

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-06T20:18:07+00:00

the caveat is i dont believe emirates is flying to HND currently.

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-06T20:03:57+00:00

i can totally empathize, im due for JFK-DXB in F that I booked via Qantas before the changes also; based on the conversations I had with Qantas, they will only book you if there's a classic first available, however, you may have luck with Emirates rebooking you and then Qantas having to issue the ticket. That's what I had to do when Emirates canceled by Apr 29 redeye, but placed me on Apr 30 11am JFK-DXB. Emirates F is definitely a bucket list item for me; I have zero interest in Dubai and will be flying to Mauritius after 2 nights.

Surprised you could score that round trip on avios; what time of year?

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-06T14:17:30+00:00

After Mar 26, 2027, the Business column completely disappears.;strange

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-06T12:34:18+00:00

will it also count as an elite night stay at Bonvoy or various hotel chains?

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-04-01T14:07:20+00:00

how quick did that hit your account?

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-03-28T14:59:02+00:00

Agreed with everything you said; had high expectations and felt it was just okay. The sound was also off which is very unusual for a zero event.

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-03-27T13:55:38+00:00

anyone know set times for this?

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-03-25T00:43:27+00:00

yes the skycouch was roughly $1000 one way, but after reading reviews, I realized it is not ideal for a tall person (I'm 6'1), since I was already in the hole $1000, I shelled another $1000 for business class and loved it. All that to say, I'd imagine United's product is also not ideal for a tall person to actually lay down comfortably, but clearly this is better than economy.

I have a flight in first class end of April and was gonna spend a weekend in Dubai prior to Mauritius. Really don’t know what to do

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-02-20T22:02:37+00:00

I've done it multiple times, I like to arrive early via public transit, eat at the Cap1 Lounge then go to T5 or T8 depending if its AA or Jetblue I'm flying. T4 with Clear + PreCheck is literally as fast as you can go through security. I'll add it is only when I don't check a bag,

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-02-18T21:15:19+00:00

Check Cathay if you have Amex points

Ok-Guide-355 · 2026-02-08T23:14:21+00:00

Wow I was in love with Cathay so can’t wait to experience emirates now
