I was just in Vegas not too long ago and explained to the lady that I had an hour before my friend’s plane landed and she was kind enough to let me in 🙂
Remember to screenshot your boarding pass or something though if you don’t have a paper one, I realized once I got there it had disappeared off my phone and she had to look it up 😳

MemberJune 12, 2024 at 2:41 pm in reply to: My Point.Me Review – Not Worth Paying $100 For ItWe had good success but were flexible with our departure airport.
We are in Atlanta, but flew business from JFK to Madrid.
We used our Southwest companion pass to get us to from New York.
I think the key is being flexible with your searches!

MemberApril 29, 2024 at 1:15 pm in reply to: How To Get Turkish Airlines Seat Assignment Using Aeroplan?What I had to do was call Aeroplan after Turkish told me they could not confirm my seats because Aeroplan did not send my email on the booking.
When I called Aeroplan and told them this, the agent said ok and then she sent that info to them through some system and then was able to select my seats for me while on the phone.
It was surprisingly quick and easy!

I had a Delta flight credit that expired at the end of last year.
I simply called and asked.
They extended it to the end of March with no questions asked.
Sometimes, you just have to pick up the phone and ask.

MemberApril 20, 2024 at 12:01 am in reply to: Does Credit Card Travel Insurance Reimburse For Points?I wouldn’t suggest going with Allianz.
Dealing with them has been a total nightmare for me when it comes to our trip interruption.
I had a medical emergency on a recent trip, and it feels like they’re doing everything possible to avoid paying up.

We’re heading to Bologna, and I’ve set up a tour to Parma to see how they make Parmesan cheese, then we’ll visit two places in Modena to see how balsamic vinegar is made.
Finally, we’ll check out where they cure Parma hams.
This will be a day trip from Bologna.
We’ll be there at the end of April, spending the 22nd to the 24th in Florence, then the 24th to the 27th in Bologna.
After that, we have to rush, but we’ll make a lunch stop in Orvieto, which is about halfway between Bologna and Rome.
If you haven’t been to Orvieto, I highly recommend it.
If you’re there when we are, send me a private message, and maybe we can meet up!

MemberApril 14, 2024 at 11:11 pm in reply to: Do Domestic Award Tickets Include Free Checked Bag?I enjoy these questions because lots of folks really need this info.
The only US airline that gives you (2) free checked bags on every flight is Southwest Airlines.
Other airlines have different fees, but you can dodge them by having certain credit cards or elite status.
Or, you can pack light and use a carry-on bag plus a personal item like a pillow (case), if they’re not charged extra either.
Sometimes, depending on how much stuff you’re taking and the airline, it might actually be cheaper to send your bags ahead to where you’re going.

Mediocre but readily available on points.
Flew them IAD-CAI-TLV last year.
The salad course was fantastic, but the 2oz of beef main was the worst meat glued tough unseasoned piece of meat I’ve eaten in the last 20 years.
Oil and parsley were the seasonings for the laughably tiny beef nugget.
