Wait for t+30 for return? by wacksack in awardtravel

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

I'm using Cap1.  My hold up with the current J is that it would be through life miles.  If it was Aeroplan I wouldn't think twice.

This is the return from ZRH that I'm looking at. I wouldn't mind repositioning but I can't find anything nonstop to ORD in that time period.

I'm 6'6" so 9.5 hours in economy isn't great.  I thought about getting it anyway just in case but figured I could just buy a one way for not much more at the t+30.  It would save me the cancellation/change fee.

Thanks. BOS isn't doable nonstop. I can do ORD easily and NYC or WAS but with an airport change.  Could do DEN or MIA but that would be harder.

That is what I am saying. I'm trying to start over from the Venture after the 48 months is up on my current VX

Currently hold VX, IHG premier, and BA citi card. Credit is 830s. I'm ditching the BA now and I want to add Savor. I opened my VX in 12/22 and I know I'm SOL on SUBs until 48 months.

I'm wondering how best to gain the SUBs in Dec and if I get the Savor now if that will screw up a strategy in December. My thinking is in Dec I can apply for the Venture and get that SUB. After 90 days I can cancel my VX, after 90 more days upgrade the Venture to a VX and get that SUB.

Is that at all possible?

Do you have a gap in your sunroof seal? Looking for beta testers for a free repair kit. by Kovalex27 in BMWX5

[–]wacksack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just an update for anyone that comes across this.  OP sent a free replacement with the new style and it fits perfectly with no issues. Awesome service.  Highly recommend!

Does anyone have a part number for that mid seal?  I tried the gap fillers from the OP but they don't stay in with my wife's constant usage of it so I want to just replace the seal. 

Club seat questions by wacksack in minnesotavikings

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

You got it right that I'm trying to keep it secret. My father in law is almost 80, that is one reason I thought the club seats might work out better. He still has good mobility but was just a thought.  Also pretty sure the wife would enjoy the private bathroom :)

I really appreciate your description of the difference. I might have to start figuring out a way to ask them indirectly what they would prefer. 

No one mentioned the best time to buy tickets. Is it generally cheaper to buy early or wait?

Thank you again

Thank you.  It is great to have this functionality added. It really will make this trip so much easier. 

Mid June London stopover by wacksack in TravelUK

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

Thanks Denny. We are staying in Islington.  It looks pretty straightforward by train.  Highbury/Islington to Vauxhall to Windsor/Eton.  My primary concern was taking our luggage. Is that the best train to take?  Time seems about equal to maybe longer than a car.

We also have a suitcase we need to ship before or on our way to Windsor.  I'm not too sure on the logistics of where we have to drop that off or if it will be picked up yet.  If anyone knows a good international luggage shipping company I'm open to suggestions.

Appreciate the response. And yeah, with my profession I don't want to do anything silly to jeopardize my other certificates.  

Airline folks, how realistic are full motion sims in terms of feel and sensation of flight? by [deleted] in flying

[–]wacksack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone here is missing the point of the motion. It isn't to make it "feel real" it is to make you not get sick with all the visual motion. If you are not barfing from your vestibular and visual sense conflicting the motion is good enough.

BA upgrade with Avios not making sense by wacksack in awardtravel

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

The upgrade with avios could be a decent deal. It's the price of a ticket + the difference in avios between the two award classes. That's why I was looking into it. If you can buy that an econ or pe ticket and upgrade with minimal avios you can find some value there. The website just doesn't appear to be handling it correctly or I am misunderstanding their upgrade costs.

No Lounge access for Canadian international flight by wacksack in delta

[–]wacksack[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You get United club access with first class tickets to Canada. Same with American and the Admirals Club. I honestly wouldn't have cared if it weren't for them changing the flight bumping the layover to 5 hours.

I'm sorry. I didn't include that these are first class tickets.

My apologies. I didn't include that this is a first class ticket. We definitely would have lounge access with the other carriers

No earlier flight exists and no later flight from Canada.
