When you book a flight through an airline, and you choose to earn mileage points through a partner airline, does it accrue at the same rate? When I book a flight on United, or most airlines, there usually there is an option to earn mileage points on a different frequent flyer program. These are usually partner airlines or they are part of the same alliance. I’ve shown the screenshot below for United. If I were to choose partner airlines, would they points accrue on a 1:1 basis with U…

Flight Operated by Another Airline What does it mean when the flight says: Delta operated by Aeromexico? Am I flying on a Delta plane with the same policies as Delta, or am I flying under Aeromexico’s policies? For example, can I fly with Delta’s no carry-on weight limit, or must I follow Aeromexico’s 22lb policy? Thank You. submitted by /u/Level-Ad3423

What’s Your Worst Airline Experience? Mine is PIA Let’s hear it—what’s the worst airline you’ve ever flown on and why? For me, it’s definitely PIA (Pakistan International Airlines). No LED screens, no WiFi, and barely any form of entertainment. The seats weren’t the most comfortable, and the service left a lot to be desired. It felt like I was stuck in a time capsule from the 90s. The food wasn…

Iberia airline – problems / cancelled flight after purchasing a ticket I booked a flight from Madrid to Santa Cruz Boliva. After I purchased I downloaded the app to view my booking. To my surprise I found out the flight is cancelled? How can it be cancelled in 30 mins and the flight is not until june? I’m afraid the costumer service is really bad, luckily I paid with credit card so I think I can get my money back (…

First name on flight ticket is a shortened version of the name on my passport, airline says they can’t change it but will “add a note” for my connecting flights. Is this typical? Hey there, quick question. Somehow, the first name on my ticket is the typical shortened version of my actual first name (it’s the first name minus three letters at the end). I think autofill is probably responsible for overwriting what I put into the first name field. I’m traveling via United Airlines from the States to Europe, and then Lufthan…

Why are we supposed to file for refunds in situations where the airline clearly has to refund? Shouldn’t it be automatically initiated by them? Like I’m not talking about weather related issues or even about how different countries have different policies and amounts for refunds. In cases where they’ve to refund you, why is it not automatically initiated? Why should we go and file and get on phone with them? 🫤 Now I’ve never faced this situation thankfully, but I always wonder about it …

Police taking photo of departing Jamaican airline passenger I recently travelled from JFK to Fort Lauderdale to Kingston, Jamaica via JetBlue. While heading to the plane in Fort Lauderdale there were 2 policemen and one said he’s going to take my photo. I asked why & his response was he didn’t need to ask me. He used his cellphone to take my photo during that brief chat, he did not ask me my name nor did…

Frontier Airline Screwed me over THREE times !! If I could give Frontier negative stars, I would. For the second time, they’ve canceled my holiday flight, and I’m losing it. First, they wrecked our trip to Portland by delaying the outbound flight and then moving the return flight up by a whole day, basically making our “trip” just a rushed overnight. We obviously had to scrap that whole plan …

Whats the benefit of getting a card that gives airline miles rather than straight cash back? I have an Amazon Visa which I use for everything. It gives 5% on Amazon, 2% gas and food, and 1% everything else. Usually I just take the rewards points and book it against my account as a balance credit. I don’t really understand why so many credit cards are out there offer airline miles when it seems like it’s the same deal as my credit card…

Virgin Award ticket cancelled by airline Apologies if this is not the right forum for this query. If so, Please let me know and I can delete it. I originally booked a flight from SEA to BLR via LHR on Virgin Atlantic, but due to an airline schedule change, they informed me I’d miss my connection in London. They informed me only 10 days prior to the flight and I was left with limited o…

Why does the airline have to “make a call” when I travel in internationally? It’s happened several times when I leave the US or am flying back. I’m an American citizen with a passport. My check-in gets blocked and the airline at check in has to call customs and border control. What is happening? It always works out but it’s nerve wracking all the same. submitted by /u/JohnMarkHMW

One airline for inbound flight, different airline for return flight? (Domestic) Planning a trip from the Southeast US to Seattle early next year. From checking the airlines, I can save $300 for two first-class tickets if I book a one-way ticket to Seattle on United, connecting through Denver, and a one-way ticket back home six days later on Delta, connecting through Atlanta. This probably sounds like a doofus, obvious quest…
