    F seats sold as J A380

    Yes! I even got up at 2am just to choose them at T-80. Worth it though :-)

    Balance transfer offer for existing nab card

    There’s one that I’ve used, here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/757147 32 months at 0% with no balance transfer fee. The form to apply seems really unsophisticated but it works.

    F seats sold as J A380

    Just got back recently after this flight. Spot on about the linen and bedding being the J ones. Still a very comfortable flight though. Interestingly the flight attendants made a point of explaining upfront specifically that even though we had awesome seats that the service would still be...

    F seats sold as J A380

    I am flying in J on the A380: QF127 SYD-HKG. Using T-80 I’ve been able to select ‘first class’ seats as F isn’t being sold on this flight. I know the service elements will be the same as the J seats but does anyone know whether the bedding and mattress toppers will be provided as they would...

    Rant abt F points rate

    I think they’re pricing it as BNE-SIN saver J rate, plus SIN-FRA advantage F rate, instead of BNE-FRA advantage F rate. That happened to me too, they had to send off for it to be manually repriced but I managed it. There might be something else going on with your case, but could be worth...

    Qantas to launch in-depth partnership with Accor ALL

    Thank you! I never knew that. When the review happens is the assessment then based on the previous calendar year?

    Qantas to launch in-depth partnership with Accor ALL

    It’s hard to tell what has happened with me. It now says my Gold expires on 30/04/2024 which is when my Accor Plus membership expires. I got the Gold from Qantas for being Points Club Plus. Maybe like Aikman and Princess Fiona said my status was extended from joining Accor Plus last year. The...

    F award downgrade - SQ242 downgraded from B777 to A350

    Definitely give them a call and ask to be moved to SQ212. I would assume that award availability shouldn't come into it. At least it's worth a try!

    Can't select seats on Avios redemption

    Awesome! That post is even better than calling.

    Can't select seats on Avios redemption

    I think AA uses a different PNR system than BA does. For example the AA references I think will never have a number in it and will only be letters. I think you should call BA, give them the British Airways booking reference and ask them to tell you the AA booking reference. I’ve done similar...

    Changes to Travel Insurance Activation

    Does anyone find the language a bit confusing, about pre- and post- 7 February 2024? E.g. what happens if you activate before 7 February but for a trip later that year.. would all the current conditions of the insurance apply, including no need to spend $500? Overall I don't like this change...

    Article: Less than Half of Qantas Points Are Earned from Flying

    This makes me feel out of touch.. I’d earn less than 1% from flying, and the rest from churning. One credit card bonus is so much higher than what you get for taking a flight. And it gets reinforced because I tend to use points instead of paying for flights so earn no points, just SC as PC+
