I know I'm probably being lazy but all the threads I have found on searching relate to people still holding onto their old Westpac KF cards. I need to get a second credit card account and would like something that (somehow) gets me KF points, be that via a rewards scheme that converts to KF...

I need a second card solely to pay income tax, remit government charges and so on, stuff I can't do on my current card for points. Does anyone have a cheap option for this for the QF program?

Security guards in the coughpit? Absolutely ridiculous idea. Given the relevance of mental illness to this issue, imagine the overall benefits to society if the $$$$$$ that would be spent on coughpit guards were spent treating the mentally ill who have completely inadequate resources now. It...

Why are there no QF FF Classic flights from Australia to HKG or Japan for the end of the year? We were trying to book the standard 353 days ahead and despite lack of status can usually get tickets well ahead (at least in Y). In the end we were able to get flights on Cathay all the way to Tokyo...

Has anyone else had this problem? Am searching for J classic awards (Y also not working though) from Melbourne to any of Hong Kong, Singapore, LA over the Xmas New Year period. I get "flight search error...no outbound flights available". Also: "error #9200". Called the centre and they said "they...

I would lay money on this one. Ockham's razor in action.

Not sure what to make of that... His home base was basically on the Indian ocean. These airports would presumably be alternates for some routes? If he had bizarre scenarios or recorded flights involving these airports that would be something though. My simulator setup was almost as extensive as...

I wonder what traces of flight simulator activity were found on the PCs. My guess is that little information is logged unless someone is deliberately trying to keep detailed records.

That's what I meant, like the Silk Air pilot who appeared to have removed two circuit breakers when leaving the coughpit. I was going to ask whether there should be a separate battery supply to make the recorders impossible to turn off but I guess ditching in the middle of an ocean would pretty...

Is it still possible after the Silk Air disaster for someone in the coughpit to switch off the flight data and voice recorders in flight?

I think they must surely have been separate bookings, unless the airport staff were seriously in error. But both BA flights.

A friend says they were flying an intra-Europe flight to connect to a long-haul flight in J via London and they were told at the airport that the short leg wasn't booked with any luggage allowance, and they had to pay before boarding. Can that happen?

to get 5 seats we are moving half an hour back which is almost two hours total to change

Oops...No longer Platinum....went from four figure SC to almost 0 in one year :( started saving the $$ and teleconferencing..hopefully not for good. Enough points for an SC run but probably not quite worth the trouble atm. I was hoping you wouldn't say that but you are probably right and we...

Am travelling to Tokyo with a bunch of mates later in the year on QF. We have MEL-SYD arriving at 1955 and leaving SYD for Tokyo at 2130...in J I assume this is enough time to comfortably make it barring some unusual catastrophe? I usually travel with kids and would leave some crazy long time in...

PE is pretty good. If I was paying cash I would quite possibly do that. Although it's probably not an economical use of points, buying PE then using points + pay to knock a couple thousand bucks off works if the points supply is promising.

I went to Sydney and back from MEL today, upgraded both ways and really enjoyed the new 767 seats. Actually I was expecting the A380 seats but think I am confusing with the newly fitted-out 747s? Meal was good because I ordered Indian vegetarian, I was very surprised this actually appeared on a...

Hi, Flying Cathay to Europe for the first time since I was bumped up to "Business" (i.e. something less comfortable than todays premium economy) in 1989. We are in J but the OH is slightly claustrophobic and is concerned that the two-row mini cabin at the front of J (see screen cap attached)...

Called them for more detailed info and they stated that I would need to pay a change fee once the new flights are put out, I would be surprised if it came to that.

I flew back from honolulu to Melbourne yesterday on Jet* "business" class; it seemed the crew were the same the whole time; what rest arrangements are there for CC and coughpit crew on this flight? Where do the pilots rest? Co-pilot seemed to be hanging out in the galley...long flight, we were...
