For some reason, I remember reading somewhere that points and SCs are not given when flying Jetstar on a QF flight number. Is there any truth to this or am I just imagining it? Specifically on SIN-KUL.

I find choosing a hotel to be the least pleasant in planning holidays. Not so bad in smaller towns or where you have very specific requirements but quite difficult in big cities where there are literally hundreds of hotels to choose from. I like to find good value where I can so it takes me a...

I just noticed that Jetstar now has Straight To Gate web check in for flights from MEL to Southeast Asia. Has anyone used this? If I have no bags to check in, do I really not need to go to a check in counter? Presumably the 1 hour deadline to show up in person at a Jetstar counter no longer...

Has anyone encountered this issue? I am trying to book a multi-city award using various AA only flights but I get an error message just before the credit card payment screen. The premium desk said it was because AA uses a different booking system which causes a lag so even though award seats...

I made an award booking online which cost 50,000 miles. I then changed the flights online to a completely different itinerary costing only 27,500 miles. I paid the $75 change fee and additional taxes. The booking reference number stayed the same. I expected to get a refund of the difference...

I booked some classic awards late last year with the old baggage allowances. Is there a cheap way of amending these bookings so I can get the new baggage allowances?

How do I select a seat on Etihad having booked the flight as a Velocity award? Is it possible? I was just going to pick a seat at online check in 24hrs before departure but the flight looks like its going to be quite full so I'd like to do it beforehand.

Interesting development... Air Asia X introduce Empty Seat Option - Airline News - etravelblackboard.com I'm thinking it might get annoying trying to ward off intruders eyeing the empty seats next to you who'd have no idea that you paid for them.

So I decided to transfer my amex points to Velocity to redeem an Etihad award to Nairobi only to be told it is not “on the list” of available award destinations. This is despite the flights being operated by EY and award seats showing up on EY’s website. Apparently Velocity has blocked a...
