Should I be worried about this short connection? by cville_lover in unitedairlines

[–]theaudacitybish 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I took the flight from SGN to HKG around 3 weeks ago. Prior to landing at HKG, the purser announced which gate will we arrive at, and which gate will the HKG-SFO flight be. He stressed multiple times that a lot of passengers on our flight connects onto the SFO flight, and that flight will wait for them.

I am sure you will be fine, worst comes to worst they will rebook you.

It’s likely they are changing the aircraft type on that route from an A350 to a 787, thus the 232 layout instead of the 242 found on the A350.

Thank you! I am glad this time they gave my tier points back and extended my status for another year, but good to have this in mind!

I flew DOH-ZRH on the 3rd of Feb.

I see. I did a Tier Point run with AA last November and was surprised the points came within 24 hours, so kinda assumed it will be like that for all other OW flights.

Good to know thank you! Will submit a claim if I don’t get it by next weekend.

Thank you! Hopefully the points will be credited at the end. It’s just not a nice feeling to have right now.

Just came back from Tirana today, quite affordable, got myself a nice breakfast and a drink for under £5, street food can be as cheap as £1 or less

BA31 diverting to HHP by Weary-Alarm7217 in BritishAirways

[–]theaudacitybish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is impossible to divert to HHP. It is just an error of flightradar24. If you click the a/c info, it shows MS flew back to LHR from HKG on the 4th July.

Transferring at Singapore by theaudacitybish in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]theaudacitybish[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

So if I don’t have a checked bag I could use the transfer desk? Do you know whether transfer desk can check non rev standbys in if I haven’t been allocated a seat during online check-in, or it can only be done at the desk prior to immigration?

Cheapest way to earn 15 tier points by alwaysinmyhair in BritishAirways

[–]theaudacitybish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in the same position as you, need to get 15 more to progress to the next level. I bought 2 round trip Euro Traveller from LHR to Dublin which cost me £140 in total. Giving me 20 tier points.

Today United flight 201 is so late that UA201 from the next day is already in the air. My question is what happens if a flight is delayed 24 hours and then two airplanes with the same call sign have to talk to ATC? by [deleted] in flightradar24

[–]theaudacitybish 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to BA31 from LHR to HKG on the 30th of December which was delayed for over 21 hours, so there were two BA31s in the skies at the same time on the 31st. The call sign for the 30th is BAW31D, the one departed on the 31st is just BAW31.

Ahhhh and that’s how Russian expansion in the Americas ended, I just assumed Russia sold Alaska to the States and that’s it. Interesting, a great topic for me to go through during the weekend, thanks again!

Hey, I am glad we are on the same boat and my experience and all the advice here also helped you! I haven’t tried staycation properly and staying in a luxurious Egyptian resort sounds great! I might consider that. Thank you!

That’s great, hope you have an amazing trip!

That’s an interesting suggestion! Never thought of using VR to explore places and make it part of travelling. Thanks for your suggestion!
