Hi, I was speaking to the Qantas consultant on the phone earlier today and he told me that from time to time Qantas releases more FF seats when they aren't selling enough of them. I was wondering if this happens often?

I have the option of booking a British Airways flight from New York - London for 78,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points and was wondering whether it was worth it? I would be flying the BA176, which uses a Boeing 777-200/300 and as I understand it all BA flights these days have the new product in...

Thanks for the advice! I ended up choosing 80A because I generally enjoy the Window seat.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Can you add sectors online or would you have to ring up Qantas and ask them to do it therefore incurring the 8,000 point service fee in addition to the 3,500 change fee? When I asked the Qantas agent before he said that I...

Hey Guys, so I'll be flying to DFW in December and have the choice of 71D or 80A. I've read online about how these are both pretty good seats. I like the window but for long distance travel I would usually choose the aisle. Is there anyone who has has been fortunate enough to test out both seats...

Hi, I was wondering if I booked a return Qantas Frequent Flyer reward flight (i.e. SYD-LAX, LAX-SYD) on one ticket but then decided that I wanted to cancel the LAX-SYD sector would that be possible if the two sectors were on the same ticket? If it was possible could I do this online or would I...

Hi eric2011, does that mean from seat 14K I would be able to get a decent downward view not obscured by the wings?

I'm going to be travelling in Business on both aircraft and so far I have chosen these seats: Emirates A380-800 (V1) - 11K seatguru.com/airlines/Emirates_Airlines/Emirates_Airlines_Airbus_A380.php Qantas 747-400RR (V2) - 3A...

I rang Qantas and the lady spoke to her Supervisor but even they weren't sure after I linked them the Jetstar webpage about Flight Connections above. She said they will ring Wellington Airport and confirm with Jetstar check-in staff there. I will post the outcome here. I also rang the Jetstar...

Thanks for the responses. And yes the extra time was mainly for the Emirates lounge. Jetstar does have an interline agreement with Emirates - jetstar.com/au/en/planning-and-booking/flight-connections. It states they will transfer bags for the following flights: -Connecting international flights...

Hi guys, I booked a frequent flyer ticket for a Jetstar flight from Wellington - Auckland which connects onto an Emirates flight to Sydney. I booked the earlier Wellington - Auckland flight so that I could spend more time in the Qantas/Emirates Lounges in Auckland after being told on the phone...

I also moved my self forward one row on the ADL - SIN flight to be further away from the lavatory so now I am in row 14. I was in row 15 before which is two rows away from the lavatory. Just wondering how often are the bassinets in the cabin used/is it annoying if a baby is in the bassinet?

Thank you all so much for your replies :). Danger, I'm already in seat 14 so that's all good :). You may find it interesting to know that when I look at the Seat Selection online they seem to also have a seat 16 in the front cabin? So I guess from what you guys are telling me it is better to...

Hi :). I'm flying Singapore Airlines Business Class for the first time to London. It's a really special treat for me to be flying Business Class and I'm very excited!! I've already preselected seats and was wondering if people could advise me whether these seats are any good? My criteria is...
