I thought that was how it was supposed to work? Basically classic plus is offered when regular award seats are sold out. Is that the model?

Can you rephrase the question?

welcome A question - how long is the layover in SYD on his current ticket? And how long would it be for the earlier flight he is wanting to switch to?

Sydney airport is 3 stops (10mins) from central station. About 5km as the crow flies. Very close for a city of 5m

Ok so they have some capacity if they need to deadhead some crew

Thanks for your first hand info. How full would you say the plane was?

The above discussion was referring to the suitability of Pakistan Note GYD is Azerbaijan rather than Georgia. It's yellow, but so is france. I wouldn't have concerns. In saying that, I would have no concerns about Georgia either though.

Clearly I'm not suggesting the pilots would be performing detailed country risk assessments on the fly. That's for the bureaucrats. Diversion airfields and countries will be categorised in advance by the airline and the relevant authorities. This will be based on detailed assessments of the...

It's the overall safety of the country. Reckon a western airline would divert to DRC, Yemen, Afghanistan or Somalia for a single medical incident if that was the nearest airfield? I doubt they would, unless it was a 10/10th's emergency like a fire, engines out, etc. This reads like victim...

This I think is a valid concern. Pakistan? Not unless there's 3 engines out and they are losing the 4th. https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/asia/pakistan An airline shouldn't be dumping passengers where they face danger or potential for persecution. Passengers on the flight who...

Booked all the trains in the relevant app. This allows you to search timetables, buy the tickets, which are QR codes to show the conductor. Generally speaking, only one person in the group/family needs to handle this. ie: one person can buy the tickets for the whole group and show the QR codes...

Bear in mind though, aircraft substitution is not that uncommon on such routes. What is presently scheduled to fly vs what type of aircraft actually makes the flight can be two different things.

And to complete the picture - for this one you have to ring up before midnight, correct? That's how I always understood it.

I think they make a dogtag or similar to wear around the neck to advise his condition to medical personnel in an emergency. Is that wiorthwhile when travelling abroad? Thailand is potentially risky. Nuts in a lot of foods. If he’s just on a short layover, maybe a known quantity like Maccas...

Ultimately these days there's too many points out there chasing too few seats. Controversial thought: Maybe they should just go back to giving points solely by flying? Literally a FF scheme. You can get 100K points from about $2k wine.

Anyone care to share any recent experiences with the Dubai Connect program? I found a good deal on flights to Europe, and it has a 19hour layover, which qualifies for Dubai Connect. This actually suits us, as we're travelling with kids and it's essentially a free stopover to break up the...

Vail Resorts CEO resigns: https://townlift.com/2025/05/vail-resorts-ceo-kirsten-lynch-resigns-following-park-city-mountain-struggles/

I do wonder how it seems to have flown completely under the radar of competition regulators in multiple countries.

Google flights is showing a 2 stopper with Lufthansa and Asiana for $2481AUD (~€1412) Interesting that it drops further to $2140 when I try to book. Have a play with Google Flights. DEPART Mon 15 Dec 08:30Dublin Airport (DUB) Travel time: 2 hrs 11:30Frankfurt Airport (FRA)...
