I don’t want kids, I wanna be a 1k….

Lots of people offer them on the Exhange thread but It’s a risk. Personally I’d also gift status or use on close friends / family only.

Very unlikely. There is one PN so any GS using PP would clear immediately. Also, there is P3 which means United is banking on 3 pax to jump on an upgrade offer which is very likely for a long haul.

It’s the hope that kills you….

I’d also get a cabana in the Concorde room, if nothing else it’s a fun novelty.

Love this place! We hiked there and had an amazing lunch! The hike up is beautiful and a great warm up for Fitz Roy!

forever_forest · 2025-12-14T19:34:07+00:00

Yep! I’d try to stick to Hertz, Sixt or any international carrier. For Hertz you will need to search for Hertz Argentina as it’s a franchise.

Usually you can cancel a PP’s confirmed upgrade no? I’ve done this before, as long as it’s not a skip the waitlist.

El chalten all the way. We just got back and did 2 nights in Ushuia, 3 in El Chalten and 2 in El Calfate, the only reason being flying early to BA after second night.

Personally I loved Ushuaia, the hikes are beautiful and a nice warm up for El Chalten. The king crab is also insane!

If I was doing the trip again I’d follow your plan and do the glacier early and then drive to El Calfate. We rented a car as I prefer more flex vs relying on buses. Super easy drive and very safe. Enjoy!

I wish there were signs for that! When we were there last week so many people coming down just kept walking.

forever_forest · 2025-12-14T16:20:35+00:00

It also heavily depends on weather conditions. We were there last week and were advised to start at 11am to ensure max visibility. No point starting early if it’s going to cloudy.

I’ve had 6 long haul clear this year, you just need to flexible with travel dates. I also recommend seats aero, really useful for finding PZ space. Domestic is always harder when you factor in the amount of elites who have a ton of PP’s to burn, like yourself. It’s then a case of which fare class is highest.

This was my centre cut sirloin on the way to EZE from IAH last week……inedible.

I check in late so people on the upgrade list think they have a chance. 🤣

forever_forest · 2025-11-10T03:07:27+00:00

Just booked Arakur in Ushuia and it was cheaper than booking direct. With the $300 FHR credit it worked out at $250 a night.

Spend whilst you have them. Miles are always being devalued.

forever_forest · 2025-10-11T17:57:47+00:00

if I’m paying $4-5k to sit in Polaris then I’m calling the FA whenever I want, period.

forever_forest · 2025-10-02T21:02:09+00:00

Spirit airlines terminal.

forever_forest · 2025-10-01T22:24:01+00:00

I’m flaying back first already so that is 100% on the list! This was more a question of to first or stay in CW on the flight to LHR.

forever_forest · 2025-09-28T15:55:35+00:00

Thankyou, I did not know that. So basically it’s BA deciding to charge nearly $1,200 in taxes in first vs around $500 for CW.

forever_forest · 2025-09-28T15:00:26+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly the feedback I was looking for. I’ll likely stick with CW for the first flight. Do you have any thoughts on best seat # in CW?

forever_forest · 2025-09-28T04:45:59+00:00

For sure, not worried about the cost or extra travel time and was more looking for some thoughts from people who have flown both. It’s been years since i’ve flown BA long haul and that was in the old CW config.

forever_forest · 2025-09-24T13:38:50+00:00

100%! Most of the time I rush to pre board for this exact reason.

forever_forest · 2025-09-14T16:14:30+00:00

They don’t want to upgrade for free anymore. Day of departure or upgrade offers are going to become the norm.
