It may have opened almost a decade behind schedule after being plagued by outrageous construction problems that made it the butt of jokes for years. But now that Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) has finally opened, Matt recently discovered that it’s so efficient and functional that it’s almost disappointing. (Except for the contaminated tap water!)

Also in Episode 82 of the AFF on Air podcast, Matt talks about the implications of the Russian airspace closure for Qantas Frequent Flyer members with award bookings to Europe as airlines are forced to re-route or cancel flights on a large scale.

Plus, as Qantas customer service problems become a mainstream issue, what can you do if you need to contact Qantas and is there some light at the end of the tunnel?

Finally in this episode, learn how to find award availability on Hawaiian Airlines.
