    I JUST booked our nonstop flights from Madrid to Boston, so hate to see this. Thanks for the advanced warning to go to the damn airport a day early if we end up having issues like this. I'd rather show up a day early than to be bumped to economy (though I have a feeling it won't do a thing to keep this from happening). One side note: There are only two days between now and August 2nd (our flight) that are close to sold out. There are still well over 10+ open seats on just about every flight between now and then. I feel like there's a low chance to be oversold.

    Beautiful lounge, but I was a bit surprised by the menu. I was there just once, pre-Covid, and the cuisine was a bit more haute back then. It even seemed to just miss a 1-Michelin Star quality. From this review, the kitchen has suffered a drop in altitude (just based on sight, of course). Still, the lounge as a whole is a tasteful feast for the eyes.

    • @MelsMilesandPoints
      @MelsMilesandPoints 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Very interesting about just missing 1-Michelin Star! They are definitely not that level now, but compared to most buffet-only lounges and compared to United's in-flight food service, the Polaris restaurant is pretty solid :)

A hot, stuffy cabin overnight is very uncomfortable and not being able to sleep properly rather defeats the joy of having a flat bed. Apart from that, Air France looks a reasonable product and you certainly got a great deal.

      You're definitely right about that! The Middle East carriers are really good too.

      No, when I was there, having Priority Pass got you into the lounge for free! And no reservations required :)

    if you're booking a one-way, how do you get back?

    • @MelsMilesandPoints
      @MelsMilesandPoints 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You book another one way ticket. This gives you a better chance at finding availability because you can book another class of service or even another airline if necessary. For example, I'm flying to Japan on ANA in November, but I'm going first class one way and business class the other way. If I hadn't been able to find a second ANA flight, I could have tried JAL too. So it just opens up additional options for you.

      @@RagedContinuum most are totally fine with it, although ANA requires round-trip bookings if you book directly through their site. But if you book through a partner airline site, like I did, you can book one-way flights. Hopes this helps!
