    AFF Review: Thai Airways A350-900 Business Class (BKK-MEL)

    Took the Wed evening 08 MAR TG flight BKK MEL in J booked with LifeMiles. Full cabin in J. Good food, beverages and helpful attentive service, as previously in December 2023. LifeMiles offers this slightly better than does Aeroplan IMHO.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I had easy setup and service with Gigago for my 7week stay in Thailand. First one for 30 days, then another for the next weeks. However, there was an initial major issue with my Pixel 7 Pro (new) phone in Thailand. Google Pixel phones were/are not distributed/sold in Thailand...for some reason...

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Really impressed when flown: see my post #6 in Matt's Trip Review. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/thai-a350-business-class-review/ As stated above by #Gold Member, I also think that LMs may get some priority with Thai award availability,

    AFF Review: Thai Airways A350-900 Business Class (BKK-MEL)

    Did this same flight last Wednesday night in 15A. Agree with all in your review, Matt. Same blue Jim Thompson amenity kit, in flight menu and great service. I was really impressed, too. The seat was more spacious IMHO, than on the SQ regional A350. I had the the third breakfast menu option. A...

    Ruminations from the Silver Muse.

    This looks like one of the most unappetizing dishes imaginable, Drron! Sorry for Mrsdrron. Another Qantas J mega fail.

    ANA partnership with Virgin Australia

    May be available on Aeroplan, but would need Aeroplan points to book. (bit off topic, sorry)

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    I'd like to see a compulsory, paper-based feedback form collected by QF 24 cabin staff at the end of the QF24 BKK SYD from J passengers for the next six months, that rates the service provided on that flight. Thereby, some comparison could be made between before and after QF change this service...

    Avianca LifeMiles – Bookings and Discussion

    Same here. Was able to book TG J MEL-BKK mid October through LM. Saw availability come up on seats.aero. Cancelled a SQ J booking I'd made through Aeroplan for the same day after I'd received the TG ticket. LM PNR issued was immediately recognized on the TG - albeit clunky - online website and...

    The world's stingiest airport lounge?

    Pleased you weren't tempted Matt, by the first dish on the Food Menu or by the last item on the Drinks Menu:D

    QR economy

    Status helps to secure the upper level Y seats on the A380 when booking QR in Y online when you have QR status. Next default is to other OW and partner status. I'm only sharing about the QR A380. If the flight aircraft is swapped to an 777ER, for example.. The above considerations do not apply..

    What's the most obscure airport you've visited?

    For an international airport. Mine is Bossaso airport, in Northern Somalia. (BSA) https://mapcarta.com/27682266 I was based in Erigavo that has a local airport at 1,804 meters above sea level. I never flew in there. Mainly used back then by light aircraft flying Khat in from Yemen...

    Virgin Australia Business Flyer Program

    Similar for me. VA Business Gold awarded the day after I applied with my QF Gold and ABN. I had dropped to VA Silver mid Feb. Now have another year of VA Gold. Thanks VA Business, and to AFF on how to apply. Very straight-forward.

    QR economy

    I'd suggest to try booking on the A380 service. Y seats are wider at 18.5 inches. If at all possible, rear Y seating in the upstairs Y section behind the onboard lounge for business/first. May need status to select these Y seats. Any Velocity status may be helpful?
