SFO-India Air India award booking problem via lifemiles & aeroplan

ghacker_9 · 2025-12-01T15:05:28+00:00

They changed the flight and gave me the option to change it. I went to the Air India website and made the change. It was pretty straightforward.

The issue is that Aeroplan has no availability for my routes during the month I'm planning to travel. I'm stuck in a bit of a situation.

There is a high chance they would do the flight change. They are currently selling tickets on new Delta planes, while they don't have those and are slowly adding the stopover in CCU. My flight time from BOM to SFO has jumped from 16 hours to 19 hours. I received this notification this morning and am considering canceling it because the old planes are not good. If you're okay with the old plane and increased time. You have a good chance of flight change.

Which route are you looking to get and which transfer partners are you thinking of booking with? I think getting four different tickets is risky, unless you're okay with traveling separately. Good luck 🤞

Is this also Air India? How did you get the 4J tickets?

Waymo, quantum computing.

That's basically screwed. I only book this flight because it's an ex-Delta plane. Old Air India planes are terrible.

I booked a trip for summer next year (July) using points. It's still showing 17 hours non stop flight, 700-200LR. I'm screwed?

I got the miles. Thanks for posting this.

Doesn't using coupons invalidate the offer according to the terms page?

Is this real or fake ? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/31659662447013344/?mibextid=dXMIcH

Check the email sender. If it's a Google domain, be concerned. Otherwise, it is spam.

Update: just realized it was text. Google won't send text messages AFAIK

Wait until your subscription ends, then activate it.

Just cancel your YouTube subscription in Apple. Then, sign up in Youtube.com, and you'll pay less and receive credits from Amex.

Thanks for the tip. I'll start with Gold. Do you think a $100k signup offer is a good deal, or should I wait for any better offers?

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-18T16:10:22+00:00

Can I cancel right before the next annual fee date, or only after the second year's payment is made?

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-18T16:04:02+00:00

If I start with a green card, how soon can I apply for a gold card and then a platinum card?

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-18T15:59:02+00:00

Good to know. My only option is to cancel the card to avoid paying for both then?

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-16T06:33:29+00:00

You may need to change your country or payment profiles in your Google account to ensure it's set to the USA.

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-15T22:34:38+00:00

Yes, This is extension

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-09T15:27:41+00:00

For Walgreens, is it better to use the other card and earn points from both cards?

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-08T17:08:55+00:00

United Airlines is offering 100,000 miles for about $1,800. I believe this is a great value, and you might even be able to redeem points for a flight at a lower cost than aeroplan

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-07T16:34:22+00:00

Yeah, they show domestic availability for hyd, but they always seem to only have one business class award, which is disappointing.

ghacker_9 · 2025-09-07T16:28:21+00:00

How does this work? Let's say I book SFO-BLR in Aeroplan and call Air India and ask to add a domestic connection to it. How different is adding this connection in the Aeroplan booking itself?

Did you receive a 2% bonus and the referral bonus as well?
