• United won't reserve a seat on my connecting Cathay Pacific flight

  I booked a paid ticket thru united.com for SFO-HKG-BKK in January. The SFO-HKG leg is on United and the HKG-BKK connecting leg is on Cathay Pacific. The United flight is booked as Economy K and the Cathay flight is booked as Economy S. At the time of purchase (6 weeks before travel) I was allowed to reserve a seat on the United flight but not on the Cathay flight. Source: 5 months ago

• Advice on how to upgrade current 3pax Award Saver Bookings to United Premium Econ or Polaris

  Option 1) - Current Strategy - Keep monitoring flights on the United.com website multiple times daily for Saver Premium Economy (65K) or Saver Polaris (100K) space. If they show up, book right away via "change of ticket" via transfer in additional chase points to United. I'd have to look at 2 openings in either Premium Plus or Polaris Business at once to not separate the child from adults. Source: 6 months ago

• How to squeeze an extra 150 PQP

  Other than paying for an upgrade, are there any ways to squeeze out additional PQP I haven't thought of? They don't offer it for hotel bookings through united.com, right? Source: 10 months ago

• Denied boarding on Lufthansa flight in Changi, airline refuses to refund

  So, something very strange happened to me for the first time. I was denied boarding on a Lufthansa flight. The staff at the airport kept changing their excuse, and every time they came up with something, I had to prove it was wrong. (for example they said the ticket which I got online (trip.com) was paid in cash, then they said I need a transit visa which I did not need...) in the end they said they can't let me...

• Why are you booking flights with 3rd party websites?

  Skyscanner at times lead to websites such as trip.com which provides a ticket confirmation after 48 hours. I read somewhere that these thrid-party websites do bulk booking with airlines in order to gain bigger commissions. I book onced with trip.com and got the ticket within 48 hours.

• mainland Chinese data, number of tourists to mainland China in the first half of 2023 is only 6% of the number of tourists in first half 2019. Chinese Post asks the question: why the tourists are no longer coming? 外国游客只有疫情前的6%，为什么不来中国旅游了？

  We booked everything else through trip.com so I'm hoping that will making things smoother, since they actually said they accepted foreigners. Source: 5 months ago

• How can I recieve a client's credit card information securely and view it so I can book something on their behalf

  Alternatively if you are booking common routes, trip.com or Kiwi.com could hold the customers credit card details for you and middle man the transaction in a much safer way than holding the information yourself. You would still need their login to details which poses it's own risks. Source: 5 months ago

• [Summary] Three weeks in China (Beijing -> Xi'An -> Zhangjiajie -> Guangxi -> Yunnan)

  Lijiang: I had initially booked a fast train between Guilin and Lijiang, it would have taken 11 hours to get there. Then I found a flight on trip.com for the same price: cancelled the train, got refunded and booked the flight everything by trip.com without any problem. Lijiang old town is super nice, even if it has been "fixed" and there are many things to do around it (Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yulong Snow Mountain,... Source: 6 months ago
