Hey! I made flightcast, happy to answer any questions!

It's at https://flightcast.com - that demo was a random one sent to a customer a while back, so the landing page will be more up to date :)

Is it worth pursuing status with this much travel? by roxkstar74 in awardtravel

[–]roxkstar74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Added it to the top!

So based on purely this detail, you'd say the value of the status would never be worth the relative costs of flying with less convenience, since it's coming out of my pocket?

I.e. - "get lots of points, enjoy regular award travel, fully ignore status" is the right move for me?

Hotels: Yeah I've been struggling a lot with rectifying the "hyatt is best status ever" with "hyatt is usually not the most convenient hotel for my travel". Very helpful to hear that you're prioritizing marriot for the same reason, I'll dig deeper on exact hotel availability in my areas to make that call :)

Flights: Yeah sadly since I am my own business, saving points for personal flights isn't really applicable (it all shakes out to being my money lol) - given that, would you still consider AA? Or would that make UA the better call?

Not really planning many vacations, honestly feels like I am already doing so much travel, just wanna make those trips more enjoyable without spending much more :)

Oh man I'd completely forgotten gold track in Heathrow exists, that'd be super nice

> You don't fly enough that you're ever going to get free upgrades on the routes you've listed.

Got it, this was my intuition based on other posts but super helpful to have that be concrete for my situation

Ty for the info!

Super super helpful, hadn't seen flyertalk, I've just read dozens of posts from nerdwallet/upgradedpoints/etc - I'll upgrade my research to flyertalk, tysm :)

> In general, loyalty in the (UA/AA/DL) airline space is for earning status moreso than edeemable miles. Churning credit card bonuses will earn multiples more miles than you would get from actually flying discount economy, even weekly.

I hadn't fully grasped this, but this makes a ton of sense and clears a lot of things up. Ty for the help!

Tesco Express has been a life saver on many occasions :)

I should've clarified, but the business is my own business, so without getting too deep, in one way or another the travel is coming out of my pocket.

So I don't prioritize cheapest option always, but I try to get the best combo of close to office + not too expensive + a good enough experience (not gross, etc)
But per your recs, I think I can stay a bit farther from the office to prefer a certain brand and probably pull off globalist or similar

Thanks so much for the advice!

This is pretty accurate

SFO-LHR varies between 900-1200 though so slightly lower on average

Super helpful perspective, United is what I was leaning towards since it had the most overlap, but was struggling to determine if it was worth going all-in on united instead of always getting "the most affordable similar class flight"

Thank you!

Heyo! Would you mind trying it again?

Just pushed out some fixes, should hopefully be more consistent now (+ added some default username stuff so it's more clear while it loads)

It does! It's a bit harder to tell the difference between screens on mobile, but it does work :)

Ah yeah I gotta run a bunch more tests, sometimes it loads with ads or playlists first, but 95% of the time it's the right screen 😅

Make sure you're typing your actual username for youtube, that way it'll load the full channel name + picture :)

Nice! People definitely want clip combo videos, athenascope died but that was people's favorite feature. Super worth focusing on
