    Qantas international Economy Class meals

    What LCC's do that on a 3 hour flight like SYD-AKL? DY didn't ARN-LGW and U2 certainly didn't LGW-GIB....

    Perth to Croatia in Business Class

    Definitely look at Y to an Asian port then J to somewhere cheap in Europe...and a short Y flight from there. Just playing around you can get, for instance, MNL-IST in J return for AUD$2500. MH will get you to/from MNL in Y for around $600 (longest leg to KUL is under 6 hours) and IST-DBV is 2...

    Traffic infringement in Spain

    Got a speeding fine in Chateauroux (south of Paris) Nothing charged by the car rental company, but received the French infringement notice in the mail well after arriving home. (So clearly the rental company had passed on my address) Even though that must have taken a while I was still able to...

    How long before a planned flight should you buy a ticket?

    Air New Zealand has specials on...ending TODAY...In fact in about 3 and a half hours... (I booked for Late Feb/March to the USA, prices were quite decent in Economy/Premium Economy) Of course it depends on WHERE you are going...;)

    Japan to Montreal on OW carriers

    And there is no Canadian Oneworld carrier. Looks like you'd have to fly to a US city (DFW/JFK/LGA/ORD) then go on to YUL on AA. OR... with Westjet being some kind of Oneworld partner perhaps you can earn on their flights ..... Edit- NOPE... No status credits. only points. Lol..I was...

    General Medical issues thread

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    Interesting that you mention those airlines AFTER asking how many hours the QF itinerary takes. They would ALL be significantly longer wouldn't they? (P.S. I do not fly long haul with QF. But I do belive in fair comparisons)

    Turkish Airlines Application Grounded Before Launch

    Why were so many people on this thread still blaming Government/QANTAS/conspiracy AFTER it became clear TK had not even submitted an application? Mystifying.

    Delta flight makes emergency landing due to diarrhoea biohazard

    I feel a terrific amount of sympathy for all onboard... but especially the poor cough who was sick... Adding all that attention to what would have been an awful experience AT HOME...

    QF82 sold as KL4892.. (BP says QF82) Crediting?

    Reporting back. Went to the Claim Missing miles section on the AAdvantage site. It wouldn't even accept the e-ticket number. Could not get past that first step. Still. Was worth a try!

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    I think you are looking at the Oneworld alliance as being far more than it is... A "cartel"? :)

    QF82 sold as KL4892.. (BP says QF82) Crediting?

    Thanks! Yes, i've just noticed the other flights BP's have AF not KL flight numbers so that is consistent! I may as well try to credit to AA...it will be of little use to me anywhere else. The Gulf Air J flights I took on the same trip were such good value I'm not at all fussed to have...

    QF82 sold as KL4892.. (BP says QF82) Crediting?

    This is way outside my experience... Recently flew CAI-CDG-SIN-SYD. KLM issued e-ticket (074 prefix) CAI-CDG-SIN operated by AF, then SIN-SYD by QF. AF issued boarding pass listing the flight as QF82. Can I credit it to my AA account? OR does the 074 e-tckt throw a spanner in the works...
