Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

Sorry for the delay in replying but I have been on the road for the last few days. Yes got the miles, I have found your thread very useful thankyou, and even bought more in the recent share mile offer. Still cannot get back in on the Aeroplan search engine though. If there is a good connecting flight through BKK to MUC I can drive the rest. As I should be able to get hold of US Airways now I will run it past them. Thanks again for a great thread:)

Good luck!

Be careful how much you stockpile just in case of changes to the mileage rates or T&Cs in the program!

So the share promo ended and no promos are currently running...we'll have to wait & see. :unsure:

Had the same problem with USAirways failing to pass on a Thai schedule change, but this time it worked in our favor thanks to Steve on the Thai desk at Brisbane International. We originally had the 17 hour stopover at BKK, but that flight was cancelled so they had rebooked us on the 01:10 flight the next day - but Steve managed to get us on the 01:10 flight 5 hours after our Brisbane flight landed which was an improvement on our original booking.

I'm guessing you were supposed to be on TG916 on 17th May...there has been a notice on Thai's UK website for a few weeks about some planned cancellations of 916 (and the return 917). Quite odd advance cancellations, no explanation given.

So I guess in the absence of US doing their part...everyone should check the schedule a few days before flying just to make sure.

Managed to get the flights booked last night with US Airways,1 hour 5mins is that a record? All said I think they did wellbecause of the interesting routing PER/BKK/CDG/FRA/INN with a total travel time of only 27hours 10 min, then rtn LHR/BKK/PER. Business taxes only US$351.52, so not bad.
I am on TG916 in about 6 weeks time so will have to keep an eye on that one.
Thanks for the tip! Need some more miles now...

:thumbup:

BKK/CDG - nice! (well except for having to go to CDG)

Not sure if you are aware but this route is operated by a plane Thai lease from Jet Airways...it has full lie flat beds in business in the herringbone configuration, so very private! Like this:

You must have some short connections in that 27hr time!

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

Yes, connections are all about 1.5 hours so we are happy with that.
That seat looks pretty comfortable as well so I might even get a decent nights sleep.
Roll on the next offer as it must be worth having at least one flights worth in the bank, even if they do change the mileage levels which would seem inevitable.
I've never travelled through CDG is it that bad?

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

Me either...but a lot of seasoned travelers rate it their worst airport...and a bitch to transit.

Not sure what the TG to LH transfer involves???

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

It used to be really bad but it's done much to improve recently. But fear not - really you only have to experience the walk to the lounge ;)

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

Thanks folks, i just double checked and fortunately i do have 2hrs 5mins on that connection, and yes the lounge ahh!

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

Just checked my flight details with Thai for next month and they said USAir should have notified me several months ago about a schedule change. Had it not been for the changes mentioned recently on this thread I probably would not have bothered checking, so thanks for the tip!
TG482 PER/BKK not going out on Mondays now apparently so we have been switched to a Tuesday without being advised. This means I have to get busy and change the hotel which I booked in Bangkok for a couple of nights.
I suggest anyone else flying in the near future with Thai reconfirms their flight details.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

To be honest I wouldn't limit it to Thai...these changes happen on all airlines & it seems US Airways is really slack when it comes to this...really this should happen automatically but I have a 0% success rate at even getting a confirmation email when booking.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

A long shot that anyone here is affected, but the notice on the TG UK website has now been updated to show cancellations for TG916/917 also on 14th and 21st June.

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

Well I have read allllll the posts but cannot find an answer so...

Firstly, thank you so much to bcworld :wub: ! Thanks to you we (family of four) will be travelling Business Class to LHR next month. Don't particularly want to go over, but the fact we should be travelling in style will make it a lot easier to bear!

My question is..and I hope this doesn't sound too silly but...do they issue tickets or if not, what do you need to take to the airport? We are travelling with Thai and Lufthansa.

I would appreciate any advice re this. I did try phoning US but unusually, had a bad line and gave up! Anyway, I figure you sound like experts :)

Really appreciate your help.
:fingerscrossed: HA

Re: Business Class Airfares to UK / Europe - approx $2700 - $2800 rtn!
 

Paper tickets? No.

In fact, you're doing well if you've even received an email conformation from US Airways.

If you are stopping off somewhere then a printed itinerary is handy, otherwise for check in I find they generally only need a passport.

I can't even access my current reservation on the US website, however I can access and get a copy of it from the Thai website - if you don't have a copy you could try there or lufthansa.
