Class action only really benefits lawyers.If you look at the average payout of these claims and divide it by the number of customers affected, each person stands to get about $8-10 dollars.Comparatively, the percentage of the pay out will earn the law firm millions.

I used it in Japan and Hong Kong last year and it worked well.They were also using face recognition at the gate in lieu of boarding passes.Very speedy process with less people fumbling around looking for documents.

Similar experience here.12 years as VA Platinum but on review of my history I should be pretty close to lifetime gold.But like many of you, I have had a lot of activity with partner airlines.So even after 12 years at Platinum, I may not even be halfway to lifetime gold. 

infinity_and_beyond I totally agree.I spent 12 years as a VA platinum and recently dropped back to gold as I have stopped flying with them after repeated cancellations, downgrades etc etc.I have been bombarded with special offers to get me back to platinum but if a marketing person just look...

I have given up on using flight upgrades.On a couple of occasions recently I paid more just so I could use them only for the flight to be cancelled and downgraded without ever getting the flight credits back.
