Hi All Does anyone have any recent experience with Korean Air J? I have spotted a great deal to North America in J around Xmas and wondering if anybody had any experience to share? The fare is about $4k which is great to the USA. Ex Sydney.

Thanks Syd and Juddles. What’s the FJ hard product like? I did some quick searching for QF fares and could not spot a matching return fare (found sale fares over but not coming back). But it was only a quick look so I will drill down a bit further this shortly. I’ve never been overly...

I am very popular there. Haha! Well with some.

Oops. Embarrassed.

Thanks NLJC88. Do you mind if I ask around what dep date you have? I was looking to go around that time myself (anytime from the 21st really).

Hi all, I hope I can get some opinions to help make a call. I am looking to go from Syd to the Us (LAX ideally although any east coast stop will do). I looked at some fares in J and the cheapest seems to be United at about $6.5k. I love the SQ product so looked at fares out of Asia to the...

I found the room more than adequate. I agree about the firmness. It wasn't the best but still a good product.

The expiry on KF is an issue (if the points auto transfer). But KF is well ahead.

As this thread has been labelled “rant” I thought I would post a recent experience with QF here as I am not sure if I should rant. Flying out of Syd on Q400 requires a walk along the tarmac. No worries. On Saturday it was absolutely teeming down with rain. The gate crew took no preventative...

I really have to disagree with that. The reward was not being stuck on a grounded plane for 12 hours. A moving bus and hopefully being able to move around a terminal in Dubai (eat, move, drink and generally try to be entertained) would have been worth it all up. The lack of action from QF is...

No need for apologies. The use of the word scoff was tongue in cheek. Your reaction to it is in order.

Those who recline should be banished from civilised flying. I had tolaugh recently though. On an TAP Portgual flight recently, I lent forward in my seat to scratch my knee. The person in front reclined with such force (not the slow tentative recline of someone who feels guilty about breaking...

SQ gave me both recently. Automatic offer. In fact on three different J sectors both was offered every time. No question I could have both. Maybe QF crew think they can scoff the leftovers

Why not take the opportunity to investigate CX or SQ? You might like what you find? I do wonder if QF will fly into another Euro port other than LHR soon? I saw some speculation in another thread about CDG.

Data is king for me when I travel and the Telstra plan is sadly inadequate. In Europe especially I just grab SIM cards from providers and use those. Sure I don’t get phone calls or SMS on my Aussie phone but I am content with that. The people who need to contact me know how to get me. I find I...

For Washington try the Kimpton Hotel Palomar. Near the Metro. Near DuPont Cicle (short metro back to the monuments). Nice area. A lot of embassies. Could also try the Renaissance Downtown. Nice hotel. In the a Centre. But might be $$$ As for Paris given your Hyatt points look at the newish...

My experience in recent times with SQ J was that availability out of BCN and ARN was good. But that all changes of course with time. I waitlisted flights but was prepared to be flexible (my flight out of BCN was booked a week ahead of departure). But I did find SQ a whole lot better than QF.

Over time we build little prejudices (mostly uninformed) but I've always had niggling doubts about China Air in terms of its safety. I would like to seriously consider these fares. Am I allowing the unspoken psyche to run with an irrational fear?

This is an aside to this thread but you have to give QF credit for its ownership of its shills in the media. The whole Dreamliner hype was just gobsmacking. That PE comment haha! But onto PE and it’s Europe offering, I recently had chance to look at some fares ex Europe (or LHR really) and the...

Qantas really are a joke with their pricing and LHR at all costs mentality. I think QF were around 7K when I quickly had a look at their PE prices. :D
