OK, she has joined Air NZ program and is booked in M class. I would like to be able to work out how many miles she will earn - can I do that on Air NZ website without being a member myself? Thanks again

Thanks She will be in economy and I expect she would want to either use the points for local trips or save them up for a long haul flight in the future. Will suggest UA and tell her to save the BPs. Does Singapore not rate?

Future MIL is about to fly RTW with *Alliance - not sure of exact destinations but know that she will be flying to FRA, LHR and then to the US. She has yet to join a FF program and departs on Saturday. She is unlikely to do a lot of o/s travel in the next few years so would probably...

I travel to TSV on business and have so far stayed at the Quest (which gets me FF points) and Jupiters. As there aren't a lot of options, does anyone who travels there have any suggestions for a decent hotel with in-room internet access where I can get FF points (and preferably bonus points...

The thought of making money out of it did cross our minds - certainly worthwhile if you are not in a hurry. Another concern I had was if they had put us on another carrier, I assume we would not have got our FF points. Given the AA 500 minimum points each for two relatively short trips, would...

Hi, I am hoping to get some pointers here... I have just reached Silver thanks to a RTW trip and some business travel and have just short of 118000 QFF points Fiance has 30585 (which he will gladly transfer to me :D ) We each have one upgrade credit which will expire 30 April 2007...

If you are going to be able to get to a supermarket, skip the airport duty free and buy your grog at a supermarket - in California, Vons or Ralphs. Here are some examples: One example: Veuve Cliquot: Duty free at airport US$50 Vons US$36.99 less 10% if you bought at least 6 bottles...

My fiance and I just came back with 6 bottles of champagne between us and some leftover spirits which we had 'decanted' into empty water bottles (sooo classy but our luggage was pretty heavy by then....) We declared it all, told them about the leftovers and were horrified to discover we...

We discovered a little nasty when we turned up for our 1659 AA flight from New Orleans to Las Vegas, via Dallas Fort Worth. Were told (rather abruptly) at check in that we would have to get our boarding pass "at the gate" as the flight was overbooked. At the gate we were told to check...

I have just come back from a trip which took me to 5 different US airports. Only two had an Admiral's Club. The one we were able to use was basically the same level as QC Domestic but needed our drink voucher, no computer access, but they did allow us to bring in food from the food court...

Thanks for that. I suspected that would be the case but worth a shot! :roll:

Hi I have just completed a RTW trip on Qantas. We flew BA and AA (yuck!) as well. Just wondering if I can double dip and join another FF program and claim the points there too....? Also, looking at doing a balance transfer from my AMEX to another card. Do you know of any which will...

This will show my ignorance. On this site and flyertalk I have seen references to QP and J and F Lounges. As a humble QFF Bronze, could someone please enlighten me as to what these terms mean? All I know is that 1) the Qantas Club lounge at the BNE International that I went to last...

I recently upgraded from Blue to Gold and they offered me a deal - I think it was 2000 bonus points if you signed up for E-Dine and Auto Assist. No good for me as you had to buy both and I already have roadside assist. My recollection is you had to join for 3 months to get the bonus...

Sully I'm with you on the Coopers Sparkling. Only beer that doesn't gvie me sinus (not good for take off and landing!) and it tastes damn good (just don't drive afterwards as the alcohol content is way up there.) Until they introduce it I will stick to spirits (unless I can find the very...
