    Has flying J ruined you?

    For some yes, for others no. (I had to google harris farms as I'm not familiar with it :) despite spending time in Oz). I think I know the ins and outs of programs better as I may have a bit more time on my hands to look into things whereas they're busy with work, kids etc. Reading forums isn't...

    Personal greetings from the cabin manager - what can you (realistically) ask for?

    I'm generally quite prepared eg have my own water bottle or these days if I want, my own frappe to board with. I have a blow up pillow if needed, a jacket in case the cabin gets cold, food if required eg banana, orange if I'm too buggared to wake up for food. I once had a hankering for a hot...

    Has flying J ruined you?

    Thanks for the tip. I have to admit I don't tend to like bulkheads because I like having a bag with accessible gear under the seat in front vs in the overhead bin and I dislike armrest tvs. If I'm fortunate to have the seat next to me free I can't raise the armrest and spread out. So I've...

    Will NZ check through luggage with overnight connection in AKL

    I don't know the answer to this but could you try them on social media? Get around the chat bot by typing talk to a human. Then send your flights and question re:luggage. NZ is geographically isolated and doesn't have the diseases some other countries do so they do their best to identify risk...

    Has flying J ruined you?

    Probably an unpopular opinion but - No. I still have certain airlines economy seats I am aiming for eg Qantas A380 economy, JAL 789 economy from SYD - HND? SQ A380 and A350 economy, CX A350 economy. I'm excited to try them out! I deliberately flew Qatar Auckland to Doha just so I could say I...

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    I won’t get out of bed early for a lounge but I will get out of bed early to catch an A330 in Y in order to avoid 737 Y! If anyone wants guesting to join the pizza party in Perth until 4-415pm then 👋 (I’m fast working out I probably arrive too late at airports to do much guesting 😬 )

    Air NZ adding more Economy Class inclusions across the Tasman + new flexi fares

    Oh wow that’s truly awful! At the bare minimum I’d expect some sort of frequent flyer seating. That to me is more important than anything else on offer as you typically spend more time on the plane than anywhere else! So comfort makes a difference. If you choose to ask at the airport or even...

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Can’t guest but is anyone in the first class lounge able to guest one adult? I can guest the other adult and their 3 kids. but don’t want to push it with the 5th guest. They’ve said they’re busy. Plan B is to take one or 2 of them to another lounge.

    Qantas club denied Qantas lounge access on partner award bookings?

    It's certainly a lot to mull over and I have thoughts which I'll reply with later. But I need to finish packing a few things. I never thought I'd fly Qantas to the US but this next trip makes it my 4th and 5th Qantas international flights and i've been a QFF member for I think 9 yrs. I'm shocked...

    Qantas club denied Qantas lounge access on partner award bookings?

    Air NZ have a partnership with CX on the AKL to HKG route. The Air NZ website says koru members have lounge access through Air NZ and used to have lounge access (non CX) I think departing HKG. That's changed apparently but it's still on the website. Asking on another forum someone looked back at...

    Qantas club denied Qantas lounge access on partner award bookings?

    I did my dummy booking through to the page where it came up with T&Cs when booking the ticket so this pop up box must be on a page further along. I still think this is confusing because people are so aware of codeshares and that flights can have several different airline flight numbers. When...

    Qantas club denied Qantas lounge access on partner award bookings?

    Quirk is about right. But you've paid for lounge access with Qantas club, they've used Qantas points. Qantas are in control of their own lounge access. It really comes across as QC members being punished for using points. Yes the Air NZ ticket stock is different from the flight number rules...

    Qantas club denied Qantas lounge access on partner award bookings?

    I just did a dummy booking for points which brought up the T&C of the award ticket on FJ. There are awards available but it comes up with an FJ flight number. I go to the paid section and note it's a QF flight number on FJ. I haven't had time to read it properly but I think it might "elude" to...

    Qantas club denied Qantas lounge access on partner award bookings?

    Doing some reading across forums it appears if you have qantas club membership but use Qantas points to book a partner aware eg FJ, that you don't have Qantas lounge access on departure. But a paid FJ flight ticketed by Qantas you do get a QF ticket number and have QF lounge access. I've read...
