I think the confusion lines in the different interpretations of this. I think most people are reading it as: "United Domestic First Class passengers do not have access to any UA lounges or any *A lounges." However I (and the *A lounge staff) read it as: "United Domestic First Class passengers...

Didn't try to enter the Star Alliance Lounge LAX with my United first class domestic boarding pass, however when flying back home I went to the lounge to ask and the staff did verbally confirm to me that I would have been able to access the lounge when flying United domestic first class as per...

Short answer - it's possible to have both SQ mileage accrual and VA status recognition at the same time if you get a good SQ check-in agent at the airport. Long answer - it's complicated. This link explains it quite well...

Thanks. I wasn't sure about Star Alliance lounge access as the *A website only mentioned a restriction for UA domestic first/business and UA lounges but did not mention other *A partner lounges. https://www.staralliance.com/en/lounge-access-policy The Air Canada website did mention lounge...

I'm flying United Airlines domestic first class (P) out of LAX Terminal 7 to SFO. I don't have any *A status. I'm aware that UA domestic first passengers do not have access to the United lounges, however I'm wondering if I'll be able to access the other *A lounges at LAX: 1. the Air Canada...

I bought a Samsonite luggage cover during the last Black Friday sales and am about to use it for the first time for an upcoming trip to the USA. https://www.samsonite.com.au/travel-link-acc-/foldable-luggage-cover-m/ss-85885-1041.html It recently occurred to me that luggage covers can make...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'll be passing through quite a few domestic/international airports in 2025 and a rough cost-benefit analysis suggests I'd easily benefit from the Prestige pass if I used it at each departure/arrival airport. Agreed. I suspect I'd tail off PP usage after a...

If the Prestige tier offers unlimited lounge visits, how does PP prevent abuse and limit daily usage? If I departed from Airport X (say 2 lounges and 3 restaurant offers) and landed at Airport Y (say 3 lounges and 4 restaurants), is there a system in place that prevents me from visiting all 5...

Here's a link to purchase PP using a (long-running?) Visa cardholder offer - 50% discount off Standard and 25% off Standard Plus: https://www.prioritypass.com/vsap To save people clicking the link, prices are: Standard - USD $49 for first year Standard Plus - USD $223 Prestige - USD $429...

I visited Iguazu almost 2 decades ago so my info may be a little outdated. Didn't fly there, I did a 30 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu (that's 30 hours one-way, did the return journey as well). The previous posts were similar to my experience, but wanted to add: I found that...

Uncle Chin's Chicken Rice on (Thai) Air Asia about a decade ago. Was living in London and flew to coughet for a stag-do, flew SQ LHR-SIN and then took a cheap Air Asia flight to coughet. Having been living in London for a few years, I hadn't eaten much Chinese food so the airline meal blew my...

Thanks for that info, it makes me think the limited functionality is less due to an operational decision and it's more likely to be due to a back-end technical issue. I guess this leaves two work-around options: 1. Take what you're offered on the SQ website if you want to book directly on the...

I need some insight to better understand the booking of a multi-city trip on the SQ desktop website - it seems to be limiting me to a choice of the first four departing flights for each segement and won't display the later departures that day. I'm looking to book the following in Sep 25 (in...

You're right! This is my first VA status retention, but I think I can make VA WP in 2025 so in my mind I was thinking I'd be around 500-600 SC around May next year.

Thanks! I thought this would be the case and I appreciate the reassurance so I can rest easy with this knowledge.

How close to your review date can you leave that final flight that will retain your VA status? I'm VA Gold with a review date of 10 May 25. SC won't be a problem to retain but I fly mostly international so I'll need some domestic VA flights to make up the 4 eligible sectors. If I fly my 4th...
