We flew premium economy (now affectionately referred to as "premium" by AF) in June both from IAH>CDG and FCO>IAH. I will say that the experience was defintely more elevated than economy. Bigger (cushier) seats, recline pitch was further back with a leg rest, service was great, and the food was better than regular economy. Not to mention the unlimited free champs...I guess there's no shortage of places I'd love to use Hilton points at, especially now with the newish SLH partnership, and fifth night free benefit. Here's some places I have coming up, per nt:
Hermitage Bay, Antigua (actually turns out to be all-inclusive)- 130k
Waldorf Astoria Costa Rica- 120k
Tabacon Costa Rica- ?
Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal- 120k
As for FB, I haven't flown PE, just economy and biz, so please report on your experience. And I think there's A LOT to be said for flying from your home airport. We've repositioned (ie not on the same airline itinerary) and at a minimum by plane, you need to allow a half a day. So then, you really start to wonder, is it worth it for the biz class experience? Sometimes it is, for sure. But sometimes I bet it isn't.
I'm super fortunate to be near Chicago O'hare and it's something I know I take for granted. It's 25 mins to Milwaukee airport or 60 to O'hare and when we have to go to O'hare, the kids call it "the faraway airport."
. I've been looking at future AF flights and planning my trips around the "premium" seats in the future if I cannot book in biz.We flew PE on

I've had this happen several times and I've found the best way to handle it is to call. Almost every time I've seen a difference in points, the rep will just swap the flights for 'free' and say something like, "the flight you want to change to requires x more points/dollars, but I'll just waive the difference." Also, I don't think there's a "too late," as I've made changes weeks (maybe even months) after being notified that SW changed the flight.
This is super helpful, thank you. I have done it later as well and not had an issue but thought I might be missing something. Especially since it usually works on the website. I guess I will call!
Ugh I have to get gum work and then literally a mouth of crowns- 26 to be exact
No one has figured out why my teeth have been eroding since I was a kid so I always knew this was coming eventually and have been saving… the jaw surgery was the first step to get the teeth aligned, and luckily I stumbled into a clinical trial so that part was free!
Correct, they’ll put you on hold and run your credit. No questions regarding the business or application.
Since you made the suggestion last time, I have purchased $100 Instacart gcs for $80, so 20% discount. Instacart Aldi prices are about 5-10% inflated over the store prices, but I get 5% back with Instacart+. So all told, I'm still saving probably 10-13% and not having to do the shopping, plus always working towards a MSR.

Welp, that was quick and easy - no offer available.
yeah im going to call back on my annual fee date i was like whaaaaaaat?
Finally got through and what a joke. They cannot tell you what is included or excluded. You have to call them with the exact model and make of car, which is super convenient since you don't know exactly what you are getting until you pickup your car and you really want to spend time calling them again while you are trying to proceed with your vacation.
Ahh maybe the new benefits are the current recent events making the phone lines busy. We return the car on 09/30.
No, they won't extend it, even for globalists. The best you can hope for is them giving you 10k points for the Cat 1-4 award or 20k points for the Cat 1-7 award.
