  Looks like you can only transfer Air Canada miles to Marriott if you are Elite Status with AC.

    Yes your correct there, I just tried to convert my Aeroplan to Marriott Bonvoy & it said I’m not elite AC status (true just annoying as I am Marriott elite status) but Air Canada are terrible at giving anything away if they can avoid it so no surprise really!

  Whilst Turkish airlines is good and we book regularly..
  If you book months ahead you are guaranteed a plane swap and a time change.!!
  Even if you pay for your seats (economy domestic) which are moved in a plane swap, they’ll refuse to refund you..
  You booked an economy seat together, you had an economy seat together..
  No problem..
  That’s the response.!
  We were moved from row 6, to row 30 and that’s the response we got.
  I argued many times, the reasons was the same, they couldn’t see a problem as we booked economy together and we still had economy together..
  Even more infuriating is when the plane change occurs, you might find your paid seats are gone, so you’ll need to pay again to book seats together..
  We’ve had this many many times on domestic flights..
  At a few pound for each passenger you just need to suck it up and pay..
  The argument ain’t worth it as you won’t win with turkish airlines customer service..

  Other than that, the food is great, the seats are great and price not to bad..
  Flying domestic from Istanbul to various areas, in business you are bussed from the lounge, direct to the plane steps.
  (My gripe, no fat coke in the domestic lounge)

    Had this very same issue recently.
    They’re like Qatar Airways: good in the air but crap customer service afterwards

      Qatar Airways is simply a case of HUACA (often a few times). Sooner or later you get an excellent CSA,, I totally comfortable redeeming awards via QAPC.

      • Tom says:

        You shouldn’t have to HUACA as a premium passenger possibly with status asking for something other airlines would have no issue with, that’s the problem. If it’s a work trip I can ask the team assistant to do it, sure, but I’m not interested in wasting my time on personal trips trying to fix issues QR have created, hence my usage of QR has gone off a cliff now they are premium prices from LHR but without the premium support service of EK or SQ.

        • BJ says:

          Agreed @Tom but other airlines don’t always deliver good CS either and HUACA is hardly unique to Qatar – the comments and forum are testimony to that.

    Moral of the story, don’t pay to reserve seats. It’s only Ryanair and Wizz that seat you apart if you don’t so there’s really no need. In any event, post-travel (note, NOT before) you can raise a chargeback if you don’t get the seats you paid for. To defend it they would have to show that you had the seats you ordered on your boarding pass.

  The Radisson offer on my BAPP card which I added a few months ago now shows a new expiry date of Dec

• John says:

  Don’t het the radisson one. Seems I get all the crap offers for options I have never heard of, net a porter whatever that is, and various other crap but nothing decent.

  • BBbetter says:

    7 Sep7 September 13:33

    Isn’t that a point of an offer?

    • Rob says:

      7 Sep7 September 14:08

      If you’ve not heard of Net A Porter after all these years then it probably says more about you than Amex!

    It’s a fashion retailer. It takes 5 seconds for you to Google that for yourself.

• iEimis says:

  How would it work for triggering both offers for art’otel given that the Hoxton offer is for online spend and takes you to their own website whereas Raddison is both online and in store but presumably relies on their website instead, or do they use the same system behind the scenes?

  • Rob says:

    7 Sep7 September 09:00

    Good question. Have edited.

    • Ammar says:

      But when you go to book from hoxton’s website, it takes you to the same website as the raddison offer…so In theory they should be both trigger…if booked online pre pay rate. Not tried as can’t get a date in October to work for us

  Anybody know if TK always use A320 series on EDI route or does it sometimes get swapped for a 737? I don’t want to run the risk of a MAX which they also operate if my memory is right

  • kjt says:

    They usually use a 321neo. Occasionally a 320 . Their 777 did pay a visit at least once this summer .

    • BJ says:

      7 Sep7 September 18:28

      Thanks, I’ll have a look and see if the 777 appeared other times. My guess it would be tge weekends Scottish school holidays started or the Glasgow Fair holiday.

  Anyone managing to transfer Air Canada points? I have a small amount that are just sat in my aeroplan account but I cannot for the life of me work out how to transfer to Marriott, or any partner, for that matter.

  • Rob says:

    7 Sep7 September 09:37

    Seems you need elite AC status. They didn’t mention that! Article updated.

  I have a stash of ~30k Aeroplan miles, based in the UK. Doubt I will ever use them on air Canada; what are some good transfer / redemption options?

  • Jonathan says:

    Use on other Star Alliance airlines flights…
