Was entering SEA on an ESTA as a first time US visitor. At SEA, only the lanes were different; they directed people to the next available counter (same type). Think of MPC as the priority boarding lane :P YMMV depending on port of entry; from what the others in this thread have said LAX seems...

Off topic, but e-tickets are issued electronically, as opposed to the physical stock agents and airlines used to use where coupons were torn off in exchange for boarding passes. In the IATA document(which I recommend the interested traveler to read cover to cover),it says

Apologies for the confusion, this was at SEA

Landed 1hr ago. MPC lane was clearly marked, and empty. It was cordoned off, but I was allowed through after showing the QR code. Pretty much all the stations were the same regardless of the lane you lined up in; so this allowed me to skip the packed ordinary lane. Officer took my fingerprints...

Pure speculation, but the USCBP systems have previously been robust enough to pick up the same traveller with different identity documents (e.g. GE with different passports), so I can't imagine MPC working any differently. The question I want to know is if first time visitors to the US are able...

As reported by bloomberg and posted on FT, Air China (CA) is engaging advisors on potentially increasing their stake in Cathay Pacific (CX). CA already owns just a hair under 30% of CX, so any increase in holdings will trigger mandatory takeover offer. Swire (majority shareholder) has stated...

I wonder if the I-D MCT change is related to the plan to speed up immigration

Might be too late if the PNR is already gone, but I would try putting that into the Finnair MMB page. Hidden in the menus somewhere is the ability to email yourself an invoice, no harm if seeing AY tech is better than QF Incidentally I recommend doing this for every booking that gives an Amadeus...

The YQ on that ticket is eye watering In any case, I'm HKG based now so don't have access to that particular 5th freedom flight, but that's useful information if I ever return to MEL This whole "credit to BA" endeavour might end up as a mistake, but I think given the information at the time...

On the plus side, I have 1500+ TP worth of flights between 1APR24 and 1APR25 However, none are BA metal/code... need to find time to go to Europe to take those 4 BA/IB flights I really hope BA doesn't decide to go revenue TP-earn... I still have 34k+ TP to go for LTG 😅

This is an “excursion” fare, with max stay of 3 months TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO LATER THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN

You’d also need to find suitable inventory for the corresponding booking class of the fare, which presumably would be scarce/nonexistent in Dec

Hello from HKG! Some updates: Changes to AA codes avios earn when crediting to BAEC: Tickets issued on AA/BA/IB post 18OCT23 will earn avios on fare spend rather than fixed per segment/booking class. For RTW, it seems the calculation of the segment earn is pro-rated on the xONEx fare based on...

Just FYI, there was a video of someone recently who wasn’t able to exit the terminal under the 24hr TWOV because their layover was under 10hrs. And the terminal was apparently pretty boring too, especially without lounge access

Please upgrade me to plat; payment was made 6th Nov

I am interested in attending— is it too late to join and arrange payment? I’m a gold at this point

I have a short-haul (~700 miles) trip from HKG to Mainland China on CX I was hoping to book with Avios. With the recent BA devaluation on CX/JL I figured I'd book through QAPC -- they still have the old pricing at 16500 Avios. I was pretty excited when I got the success notification email (it's...

Within 24 hours.

My understanding is whether or not the flights themselves are inter or intra continental is unrelated to the determination of stopover vs transit; so in your example if you land 0655 and depart at 1245 same day it'd be a transit, but if you decide to spend the night in HKG and depart the...
