Yes, it earns just fine. Your route should earn 40 SCs as it's 712mi provided your booking class is one of CDIRJ I earned status credits just a few weeks ago on a BA Cityflyer LCY-AMS fight (booking class D)

I don't usually get plastic film wrapping but my asian family loves that stuff. I was shocked to see how expensive it was in SYD - $20/suitcase!

It should, but remember you will have to pay for row 4 unless you do it after check-in (T-24h).

I do agree with you here, but personally one of the biggest benefits of PE over Econ w/extra legroom for me is the seat width. I can sleep in a slouched position with my arm on the armrest with no risk of invading my neighbour's personal space. In a Y seat, especially 3-3-3 787 or 3-4-3 777...

Generally I've never seen DCC offer me a good rate over what my card offers, even if my card has a 3% foreign transaction fee. Anyway, I agree that showing the markup like this is nice. However it's not the payment provider being nice, it's the new EU Regulation 2019/518 enforcing this...

JAL is now offering this FYI. https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/inter/service/optional/paidmeal/ Available on ex-Tokyo flights to Australia. Looks like the same meal as the express meal service option in Business Class. Looks to cost 3000 JPY or 30 USD (very different!!). I think in general Premium...

A bit off-topic, but if we're just talking about the Skytrax ratings in general, Zurich has got to be one of my favourites. What amazing balconies for the lounges and a great (airside!!!) observation deck. Yeah sure the lounges aren't the best outside *A, but it's good to have something...

Obviously not good that they didn't honour the SMS, but I can't imagine you actually suffered any loss as a result of this. You chose to pay for the flight change, it's not like you thought it was going to be free and they charged you out of the blue.

They charge about on-par with what public chargers charge, but significantly more than charging at home.

I believe Revenue Seat Factor is just % seats sold. 17.3% is the percentage of unsold seats on domestic. I also think a Reward seat still counts as a Revenue Seat.

This is my favourite part of QF Status, even though ironically as a Platinum member it no longer offers me any meaningful benefit on QF flights (thankfully I try to fly other carriers internationally anyway).

Bit late, but I assume it'd be possible to ask for a Compassionate Airfare in this circumstance (from both Qantas and Virgin)

Profits for the airlines :)

I'm seeing a QF104 on A330-300 for Monday, which is your flight. No 787 that I can see. I think the GDS only ever shows the original scheduled time, so the delay won't reflect. Looks like there's still 1 spare J seat so nobody should've been bumped, but this must suck for pax in PE as they...

Well, you could say that the recent lack of CR has been depreciation, but the introduction of Classic+ alone has not.
