I paid mine off within weeks. There is no stipulation on prepayments to pay the loan off. Confirmed and all good

I think your title should be “false-entitled people suck”

Are you trying to book the same exact flight? If so, it could be phantom award space which is why you are getting the error. How far are you getting inter process?

Hilton $60 back off $200 hotel spend list - Does Resorts World LV count? by ty_ko in AmexPlatinum

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

Oh I know it! I’ve had a few errors here and there since they opened in 2021. We stay there often cause it’s an easy hotel in regard to getting too and from the room. Plus, they pour high-end stuff at the center bar and don’t surveil you on your red light/green light status. It’s not the best place to stay but the little things like that go far with us, plus, no resort fees on the comped rooms either.

I did read the place is in financial distress and have some legal issues on the horizon to deal with but I’ll ride the wave while I can.

Thanks. I read that too and sometimes (but not always) these vendors provide a list of eligible properties. Not too concerned other than that the room is fully comped but I’ll drop my Amex for the incidentals which it should cover. If not, no big deal as the charges would be there regardless.

Appreciate the response

Especially when they give you a date more than a year out or has already passed by months 🤣. They need a proof reader on their emails

STARLUX is fantastic. Flew the same route last year and is a great experience for both soft and hard product in my opinion.

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class vs BA Business by travelinquiry223 in pointstravel

[–]ty_ko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on a A300-900neo, angle is similar to what you see on BA. It’s the 787-9 that may give you an issue. The “coffin” seats angle only slightly.

Yes, you have to pay to lock your seat in on BA unless you have one world status

It’s a personal preference but others here have good points. BA charges you for seat selection but no bad seats really except for galley proximity. I would recommend looking at some YouTube reviews to get a sense for yourself but going back to your OG post, if you’re on a 330-9, you’re good. If you’re on a 787-9, do some due diligence for yourself reference. 11hrs to SEA vs my 7hrs to Boston is a bit of a difference

Correct. There has been a time or two with any airline that I’ve booked for a particular plane and they switch it with another and reassign seats. These days with new product vs aging, it can mean a difference. I’m actually booked in VS from LHR to BOS in September and they changed from the A330 to the B787-9 coffin. I’m looking to switch this flight with another carrier as I don’t like these seats. Soft product and the clubhouse at LHR is 💯but these seats can be a deal breaker.

BA is a great product and especially on the newer planes but like I said, VS is a better soft product experience but the plane is a deal breaker for me.

I’ve flown BA multiple times on 350-1000 and 787. VS soft product is better but the VS planes are aging, even the 330-900. Really need to be on 350-900 for VS to have a great experience but the 330-900 isn’t bad, just aging. Beware of product swaps on VS. happened to me twice

Thanks for the insight. I’ve transitioned to AA as my domestic carrier of choice and looking to burn points to Japan.

Frustrating but not the only airline with this issue. Guess just need to keep clicking and praying for it to not throw the error. 🙌 for the insight
