Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook.

Contrary to what the calendar and silly weathermen might be telling you, winter isn’t completely over yet (is it ever in Western NY?! I’m kidding, Buffalo. I love you …).

Missing British Airways Avios? You’re Not Alone

It seems that thousands of British Airways Executive Club accounts are being audited today. Lots of people are reporting that when they try to log into their account today they're getting the following error message:

"We are not able to recognise the membership number that you have supplied. Please check and re-enter."

In these instances, you're able to log into your account after resetting your password, whereby they email you a link that allows you to log into your account.

However, when you log into your account you'll notice that all of your Avios have been removed, and you have a zero balance.

Need to Book an Award With US Airways Miles, But They Haven’t Been Moved Over to American Yet? It Can Be Done!

I previously reported that US Airways accounts are ‘frozen’ with awards no longer able to be booked until miles have been transferred over to American AAdvantage. It’s true that Dividend Miles awards are no longer available. However, American apparently has a procedure in place for members with immediate travel needs who wish to book awards […]

Now that American-US Airways Has Consolidated into a Single Frequent Flyer Program It’s Time for AAdvantage to Update Its Award Rules

US Airways Dividend Miles was pretty much ‘anything goes’ as far as award routings go — the combination of flights you were allowed to use when booking an award to get from your origin to destination. There was no auto-validation of routings and no auto-pricing. Whatever region an agent thought you were traveling to determined […]
