I've recently had a trip around the US that included multiple legs on Alaskan Airlines (1 with a QF number, 1 without). For both I have selected my seat online from row on 737 Economy and on both occasions I have had my selection ignored. This was to the extent of receiving a BP for the last row...

International for me... 2 in 2 weeks at T-28... The T-48 love for WP seems to have gone as both flights had ample J availability (departed with empty J seats).

The lounge in Singapore was like a pub last night for the soccer... But everyone was well behaved... Just a little boisterous. As someone who's spending a lot if time away from Aus right now it did feel patriotic.. But I digress.

interesting - Today have received an upgrade (T-28) notification via SMS as it used to be..... has someone flicked the switch back.... Interesting given the call centre told me that "There was never SMS's for Upgrades".....

I've had a couple more with no notification... Someone's flicked a switch somewhere...

Agreed - I had them all lat year. I sense it may have changed with the new year?

Hi Guys, I have noticed that I am no longer receiving SMS notifications for points upgrades for international al flights. As a WP I was typically getting this 24 - 48 hours prior to departure. I have now had 3 this year that have not come through as an SMS but have been successful. This last...

SPEWING!! I am on 447 and was looking forward to the new A/C!

I've had 2 from 2 at the gate upgrades with points in the last 6 weeks flying BKK -> SYD...... both on the Friday night flight too. I've had less luck SIN ->SYD.

Ironic.. I'll have done about 12 Singapore return trips by the time it is introduced... unfortunately I won't have any more after that.... Mind you, I'd take a refurbished A330 over the new menu :)

Hi All, We are taking the family to Singapore and have an infant and child on an A330 flight in Y. I understand the first row in economy (26ish) has a bassinet & the seats have fixed armrests. Does anyone have experience in the other Bassinet row (42ish)? Are the armrests fixed? We'd love to...

I too had a booking malfunction rectified by QF staff in the BNE lounge... The malfunction was completely my fault and yet she was still able to get me home! It's these little things that keep me loyal.

Thanks Fuzz.. Whens the Auckland trip? I might join you (PM me?).. I need a reason to use the first class lounge!

Hi Guys, a quick one... Can someone please advise what an JASA SYD-BNE-TSV-BNE-SYD will be if booked now and travelled after July 1st? Also, I have the 50% promo for intl flights.. Are there any good options purely for status purposes ex Syd (Or NTL)? Apologies for the dumb questions, I've...

Hi Wheatbix, I just went through very similar. By abiding by the lowest fare on the day police I did end up with a Sal fare to LA and a Saver return. I assumed I had no ability to upgrade but I checked and was able to request an upgrade on the return leg (So of course I applied!). I then noticed...
