comment Is it possible to pay for a British Airways flight in sterling?
Generally, I wouldn't worry about it. Most UK banks will give interbank rates for Euro:Pound exchange, which will be reasonable, although there might be a small commission charge.

comment Is it possible to pay for a British Airways flight in sterling?
In general the key fact here is the "sales city", which I believe affects the currency you are charged in. I suspect if you book through ba.com there's not much you can do to affect that. Probably the only way to do this is to call BA to book, although they then may charge you for that.

comment UK citizen travelling on ESTA program wants to make a side trip to Caribbean while in USA
@user6784, that's wrong. You do not need to enter from a Visa Waiver country - you simply need to be eligible for it by citizenship and have pre-arranged the ESTA. See the official write-up here for more information: travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html.

comment What “undocumented” benefits are there to being an “elite” frequent flyer?
Gagravarr, I'm sure that's true, to a certain extent. But I think there are some common patterns that most frequent flyers know about. If other folks express the same concern, I'm happy to make the Q more specific.

comment What “undocumented” benefits are there to being an “elite” frequent flyer?
I'm trying to keep this general to all airlines and alliances to maximise the value of the question, but I'm happy to make it specific if that's needed/preferred.
