Based on my post earlier this morning I know a lot of you are wondering how the heck I got into Emirates Airbus 380 first class. As you guys know I was supposed to be flying British Airways first class from Seattle to Dubai via London lpga golf tour using Avios and a companion certificate.
The flight from Seattle to London was perfectly nice. We experienced a delay of over two hours due to a late arriving aircraft, though we had a nine hour layover in London, so that even worked out for the better. We were scheduled to land in London at 11:20AM and depart for Dubai at 8:35PM.
Everything was normal when we checked in last night at Seattle Airport, or so I thought. The agent checked our bag all the way through to Dubai, though informed us that she couldn't lpga golf tour print our connecting boarding pass. I didn't think twice about it, figuring it was just because we had such a long connection. I did find it funny that they were giving each passenger a $19 meal voucher for the delay, lpga golf tour which you'd never see with US airlines for a two-hour delay.
He typed in his computer, and said "no, you're not booked on our flight to Dubai." lpga golf tour I asked him to look up the itinerary by the ticket number, and after typing it in he responded with "you're on the EK30 to Dubai at 4:30PM."
I've flown two million miles and booked over a hundred million miles worth of award tickets for people, though this was a first to me. There are some times in life you ask questions, and some times you just shut up and accept things. lpga golf tour This was definitely the latter case, with one exception. I responded with "could you tell me which fare class we're booked in?" He responded with "it says 'P,' sir." Not only is that first class, but it's a revenue first class fare, so I could even credit miles to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan for the flight.
That's all I needed to know, and I responded with it s off to terminal 3 then. We took the bus to terminal 3, and headed straight for the Emirates lounge, where the agent quickly issued us first class boarding passes. The agent asked if we had any checked lpga golf tour bags, and I gave her the bag tag, explaining that the bag probably needed to be transferred over from the other British Airways lpga golf tour flight to the new one, since we were apparently lpga golf tour just rebooked. She looked at the stub and said "what do you mean sir, your luggage stub already says the bag is checked on EK30?"
So apparently we had been booked lpga golf tour on EK30 since before we even left Seattle, since that's the flight our bag was checked on. That would also explain why the agent in Seattle lpga golf tour couldn't issue our connecting boarding passes.
Why did this happen? I have no damn clue. Even with the delay we had a six hour connection. The only thing I can think of is that when the delay posted British Airways lpga golf tour automatically rebooked everyone on the next available flight, without considering whether someone had a more than adequate connection.
I would like to point out, aside from how amazing this is, that there is a lamp and lit makeup mirror on the desk in his suite. A LAMP, lit MAKEUP MIRROR, on a DESK, on a commercial airline. Let alone a SHOWER. I m expecting Todd English lpga golf tour or Eric Ripert to appear at this suite pushing a silver cart with covered dishes from the galley kitchen that were hand prepared. lpga golf tour AMAZING.
@ Nathan This is one case where it s tough to claim preferential treatment for a blogger, in my opinion. Booking me on an airline lpga golf tour other than them doesn t seem very bright if they were trying to impress.
If its just him and his friend in the cabin, I dont think they will enforce the 5 min limit . Any way enjoy the trip and don t wait too long for this trip report. lpga golf tour I am assuming Lucky is going increase the valuation of AS miles exponentially after this. Do you also get a luxury car service once you get off the flight?
I ve flown this before r/t JFK-DXB. It is very nice, although the shower thing is a novelty that isn t all that exciting the second time. Too bad you don t drink, or you could have a couple bottles of Dom for me!
I think the part that makes you even more lucky is that EK30 was upgauged to the A380 on December 10th, 2 months ahead of schedule. If you flew EK30 last week, it would ve been a 77W without the showers onboard. I guess 12.12.12 really paid off for you then!
So excited for you. Every time I book a ticket I pray that something goes wrong and they will put me on an airline like Emirates or Singapore. More like dream, because I know it ll never happen! Excited for the full report!
Several birds with 1 stone, it seems- took care of your companion certificate, gave you a memorable experience unlike any other you have had before, new products lpga golf tour to review for the blog, and free miles. Looking very fwd to the trip report.
wow .. quite an incredible story. The best freebees i experienced on BA over the years were . an upgrade at check in for an avios biz class ticket to First class from SYD to BKK. GOOD FOR YOU. ENJOY THIS ONE, BETTER WRITE A DAMN GOOD REPORT
