    B789 - worst ever Qantas economy long haul Seats

    B789 - worst ever Qantas economy long haul Seats

    Just adding two cents on my most recent and possibly worst ever Qantas economy long haul from Sydney to Dallas on a 757-9. That 9 seat across is a killer - there was so little space that I could barely eat the lacklustre meal because I couldn't move my arms without elbowing my neighbour. The...

    Advice on AirAsia flight cancellation & Refunds

    That's great news, but has anyone had any success actually getting in touch with anyone from AirAsia support? I am stuck in a loop with the chat bot, when I follow the link to "chat with an agent" it takes me to another page that just times out eventually, despite having the page open in my...

    HSBC Platinum 60,000 $199 fee

    So, after doing my homework, I decided to apply for this credit card yesterday. Turns out that I am ineligible to apply because my employer is not based in Australia and therefore I do not have payslips with an ABN on them.

    Best Star Alliance Program

    Thanks to everyone for such a handy thread and great advice. I am looking to change FF programs after being with Krisflyer with more than 10 years and never once being able to redeem my hard-earned points. I fit into the category of non-frequent but not-infrequent flyer and fly a lot of...
