It doesn't include Mexico... it's really only NYC and PHL that are the best value. You can rack up a string of SCs on the way there though by using up the domestics allowance... you can even fit in up to 2 transcons in each "direction".

What is your intended itinerary? You're allowed 3 domestic segments in each direction for a total of 6, plus the 4 QR segments.

The ticket should end up as 30kg on both flights.

Just make sure they absolutely can select seats on a codeshare for you - a lot of agents don't know how to!

EK moved from N to S class a few years ago for Y awards. Don't believe everything you see on the internet...

All the VA codeshares operated by the carriers are a bit of a pain point with regards to seat selection via contact centres or online. If booking the VA codeshare is quite important... it's probably best to go to a travel agent that is able to do the seat selections. @PERLHR sent me their NH...

Anything < 24 hours is fine for SQ to SQ transfers at SIN for baggage through check, even if that transfer is overnight. I did hear that SQ will accept through-check baggage for up to 48 hour transits in SIN from SQ to SQ but I have not seen this in action to date in a live scenario personally...

Never underestimate what kind of stunts a good travel agent can pull... F hosts are for P1/CL/CLP1/VIPs irrespective of cabin flown in and are only available in certain key ports eg. SYD/LAX/SIN/AKL/LHR. Platinums generally don't get F host service.

... why did they book the LAX-SFO on a separate PNR? This should have been booked as one PNR, award or not.

Trust me... I wholeheartedly agree that it's indicative of inadequate training. The airlines lost a lot of working knowledge when they had to let go of so many people during the pandemic and unfortunately we're the ones left feeling the effects of that. I probably feel it more than most here...

They are still available. No change to pricing.

It's beneficial if it's US->elsewhere, CA->elsewhere and also AU->DFW->international destination / international->DFW->AU as no baggage collection is required. You can also exempt some of the domestic ticket taxes on a separate commercial US domestic ticket, when it's issued conjunctively with...

Seat selection on LA codeshares operated by QF is often broken. As it is a blockspace codeshare, the QF PNR is only created 72 hours out. You can call QF at 72 hours out and they can find the QF PNR by name/ticket number and assign a seat that way.

Rubbish - you can even prompt them to use the 'find connection' function. They might take you a bit more seriously if you sound like you have some idea!

The ticket stock doesn't matter, nor does commercial vs award. When you do a manual through-check, you don't actually enter the ticket number. It's just name and flight details. The system then sends a query to that airline and the airline responds yes or no.

Especially when virtually all pax onboard require visas for India it's a bit of a nightmare.

Diversion to BLR was due to medical. Diversion to and termination in SIN was due to crew timeout. Pax will be rebooked to final destination on whatever flights QF can get people onto.

@lameyofth is referring to operational upgrades. It's often complained about by golds and above that BA will upgrade a silver or bronze to allow a lower tier member to "sample" a higher cabin to encourage spend-up.

No. QF charge for BSCTs too, so it's not that they are marked as extra legroom seats, they're marked as chargeable BSCT selections. https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/book/seating/select-a-seat.html

A B789 is possibly more sensible. QF63/64 going to an A388 means that some B789s will be freed up.
