This is frequent flyer engagement bait :D Nothing quite stirs the passions more than a debate between those who can plan 12 months in advance and love minimum seat guarantees and those who cannot plan 12 months in advance and hate them.

Wow, this is enormous. Bookings between Canada and the US are down 70% YOY! https://www.oag.com/blog/canada-us-airline-capacity-aviation-market Now the situation between Canada & the US is vastly different than that between Australia & the US, but it does look like customers are voting with...

The other piece of the puzzle is that Qantas has not changed its status earning in a while, and has flagged changes might be coming this year. If they follow VA/BA/AA/DL/UA/etc/etc and adopt a revenue based scheme, VA's might look positively cheap by comparison. Eg if they split the difference...

The vibe hasn't been any different upon landing in the US on any of my recent trips, including one a couple of weeks ago. And ironically, on travel chat channels, Americans are aghast at our draconian electronic device inspection policies. There's plenty of fodder available to sling acrimony...

The handling of IRROPS is 100% within QF's control.

Likely just a follow on from your recent FR. Amex have determined they're only willing to lend you so much money, and applying that to your newest card.

Given QF so frequently has IRROPS, you think they'd eventually get a handle on how to accommodate stranded passengers, especially at a port they frequently fly into & out of. Very strange, and disappointing.

'On the grapevine' = email from your boss

Biz Plat only gives 5x through the Amex travel portal. Need to use Biz Personal.

This category is quite bizarre. I've experienced it before.

Looks like you didn't read the article. I note that you signed up to AFF today and this is your first post (welcome by the way). You wouldn't happen to work for 1Cover by any chance? The article reports that employees of 1Cover took to social media to discredit the claimant: 'When a friend...

Main difference between no mortgage & mortgage is that you now have an additional debt you need to service and thus the amount of credit a bank will want to extend to you via credit card decreases. So do everything you can to decrease the amount of debt already extended to you — eg only open...

The seats have to exist in the first place for them to be found. When was the last time QF released J/F seats at EOS (where status is required) on their flights to LHR? I believe it was 2019.

The very best are closely guarded by those that find them & only shared in private. Others pop up on sites like doctorofcredit.com and dannydealguru.com from time to time.

Google has lots of information on pop-up jail (PUJ).

This is going to be the strategy going forward for anyone unable to request the release of award seats. It is a brutal devaluation — approximately double the cost of a classic award seat at current price levels. It is even more brutal when you consider you're only getting 1.35c/pt in value...

Yes. And you're looking for the hardest route to get premium cabin seat releases. You'll need to get very lucky if you're only Platinum.

My condolences.

The US recycles phone numbers very quickly. A fact of life. Nothing to do on Tello's end. If you contact Bilt, they should be able to give you a new account using your phone number.

The US3 recently reported drops in forward bookings on domestic flights, due to cuts in government travel (around 50%) & consumer anxiety about air safety. Weak AUD & concern about the political environment in the US certainly aren't bullish for travel from Australia to the US.
