    QF returning to KUL (maybe)

    Very common for airports (and governments) to be chasing airlines, getting QF to KUL is a long shot IMHO given the aircraft shortages QF have and I'm sure there are other ports that are well and truly ahead of KUL in the pecking order. LHR and HEL can be accessed through SIN and HKG with BA and...

    QF Starts Installing Split Scimitar Winglets

    Well I'm sure the engineers and the ops team recommended it years ago, but AJ pretty much deferred all the capex QF needed so that he could use the cash to return to shareholders --> beefs up the share price --> juices up his KPI's ---> bigger bonus. QF has got a mountain of capex to fund with...

    I finally got my points posted overnight, which seems to align with your timing but is out of whack with the timing of some of the others here. Better late than never !

    HSBC Star Alliance credit card in Australia

    Starting to panick now, got Aeroplan 50k status on 25 November and here I am 10 weeks later with nothing :( I did reach out to Aeroplan on Facebook messenger and got a generic response saying I should contact HSBC, but this promotion actually has nothing to do with HSBC as the bonus 50,000...

    Qantas deliberately hiding QF awards to QFF and pushing JQ seats instead?

    Don't bother transferring your points to AA, you can go through and try make a booking even without sufficient points in your account, it's only at the very last stage will the system tell you that you have insufficient points. With the phantom award space, you won't even get to that last stage...

    Qantas deliberately hiding QF awards to QFF and pushing JQ seats instead?

    The AA space is phantom, seats show as available on the search engine but then clicking through to try and confirm the booking gives an error message ( I used your date above as an example). Happens quite a bit with the AA award search engine, when you think you've found a J award only to find...

    An Open Letter to my fellow AFF members - External Influence on this website

    To be honest, this thread is much ado about nothing. If there are indeed 'external influences' on this site but there are only "small number of users on AFF" that fit this 'profile', then those posters are punching well above their weight if their posts have the effect of having such a...

    Brazil reintroduces visa requirement for Australians

    All about milking that cash cow that is the tourist. Easy way to prop up the coffers. Its a false economy though, the tourist dollars foregone will exceed the revenue raised.

    Qantas, Virgin, Qatar called to assist with Israel repatriation flights

    There is a certain irony that an airline owned by a government that is providing residence to (and supposed financial assistance) the leader of organisation that was responsible for the deliberate targetting of civilians, is now providing a flight home to those impacted by the violence/conflict.
