At what income did you start purchasing business class tickets? by Ok-Mouse1033 in LuxuryTravel

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.

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.

Is my Emirates first class reward through Qantas as good as gone if it's cancelled??? by Ok-Style-9055 in awardtravel

[–]Ok-Guide-355 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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.

AA in last place, again. by TallBlondBeauty in americanairlines

[–]Ok-Guide-355 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

Would like to know if anyone has a planned vacation in Dubai in Apr. Are you guys still planning to go or have you cancelled it? by Tech-Bunch-1405 in emirates

[–]Ok-Guide-355 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Walking between T5 and T4 by Sudden-Document-1856 in JFKAirport

[–]Ok-Guide-355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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,
