It's actually more than just domestic. It is now also present on Trans-Tasman routes. Previously the TT algorithms allowed for WP to select row 4 free of charge. Now it's pay for row 4. Actually making me consider TT travel to air NZ which at least still has slightly extra space seats for...

I unluckily got the one flight which departs 2025 as a one off on 1/5 which I moved out of then!

a lot of the changes are to do with fleet capacity constraints. effectively by changing to a late departure to the US, it means the plane only sits at LAX usually for a few hours rather than 16-18 hours as previously. the question is, how will this all impact maintenance and performance given...

I’m surprised the contact centre talked about the Royal Suite. Having stayed at that Voco myself if I recall there are a number of junior suites / 1 bedroom king suites The order I think goes: 1 king bed suite luxury bath view > 1 bedroom suite > 1 bedroom suite luxury bath view > Grand Suite...

you have to wonder if part of going in this direction is almost to restrict classic premium rewards to WP/P1 which effective acts as a carrot (or ankle shackle really) for people to keep crediting with QF. Having said that, selfishly as a WP, if release of awards at CR rates is easier I would...

Intercontinental Melbourne the Rialto What is your IHG One Rewards status? Diamond Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay? Not particularly for a number of reasons. A number of small service related issues followed by significant hardware issues Which...

I was always under the impression there were blackout dates particularly for Singapore and/or QF1/2. previously I thought it was June - August and probably complicated by olympics later this year too?

I just refunded a CR last week points back 24 hours later cash back onto credit card in 5 days

Finnair are notorious for married segment logic just because NRT - HEL - LHR is available in U, it doesn't mean NRT - HEL, HEL - SPU or even NRT-HEL-SPU is available at U. effectively you need NRT-HEL-SPU available in U to rebook. cancelling doesn't necessarily return U inventory either

I mean without wanting to sound silly and derail this being a DSC thread, for that price of $6300+ return in premium economy you can fly business via Tokyo on JL for exactly the same price….. Also silver really isn’t worth splashing out for…

Sitting in the first cupboard now - I have to say though, I do like the cosy nature of the cupboard. Having said that it’s packed today, Front desk reckons “next year” now for renovations….forever waiting

in recent months I've found that the pdf I get sent now no longer has tax information after the first amendment/flight change/schedule change however, when ticketing occurs, I get a separate email with text, which had the ticket number, taxes, total cost, payment etc. It isn't a pdf, but rather...

I mean the other thing that we often forget to take into consideration is that A332/A333 J cabins are relatively small at 26-28J seats. I wouldn't be surprised if U2 is the maximum allocation given that usually they can sell most of the rest also July is school holidays season both ex-AUS, and...

I’m not sure how accurate the information around 24 I seats is …. It’s a A333 operating QF128. The only way I can get the 24 number is looking at the seat map which has 4 seats marked occupied and 4 blocked (row 1), so 24/28 seats not marked. That however may not be entirely reflectively of the...
