    Google Flights search > JAL Booking

    I had a similar problem recently with Google Flights and JAL. Best I could do was search on the multi-city tool on the JAL website. I did eventually find a flight combination where it would price (a couple of hundred more expensive than Google), however couldn't book. Called through to the JAL...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    I've had this happen with equipment changes, but they were notified in advance via email, and I had the opportunity to change without penalty. It sounds like there may have been some delays and cancellations which may have worked against you?

    Two Qantas group Fokkers clip tails at Paraburdoo

    It does look like it's a QF 717 and a Fokker 100. The red tail (white roo!) has the flat top tail, compared to the curve of the Fokker. I learnt that sitting around Brisbane airport, when there was a QF 717 sitting next to an Alliance F100... One of the other differences was the number and/or...

    Australian Citizen travel to Cuba from US

    My awkward way with words would make this highly unbelievable :lol:! I'm a little too honest to try and put on something like this, especially when travelling with 'my literary assistant'. Thanks for the info. I'm hoping now that there are direct commercial flights from the US that things would...

    The platinum benefit allows you to request (with no guarantee), that an extra reward seat is released.

Travellers on these services, however, have to satisfy one of the below 12 categories. To quote the AA booking page, which one must agree with to continue booking...
