737-800 nominal range is about 3500 miles with NAN-HNL being about 3200..... So practically speaking -probably not. JQ A321-neo/LRs would have a range of 4400 plus. And the XLR variant over 5000 But then VA seems to be willing to push the limits, so you knows where a narrow body will see you...

Perhaps it is the lousy QF connections from PER to SE Asia (and SIN in particular)? If you are willing to fly JQ maybe the newly scheduled flights later in the year will "help" Though I doubt the QF/JQ combination will ever compete with SQ/Scoot/Air Asia for the mass market. Happy wandering? Fred

Amazingly, MH flights as CR from Perth to Asian points seem to have re-appeared when I checked for the Sept/Oct 2024 time frame. And a small occurrence of J cabins seats. Given this is school holidays in WA I suspect they may not last long. Oh the trials of arranging for future wandering Fred

Having just booked (12 Mar) a Max Bundle flight for May I checked the current price... About $14 more..... Not worth cancelling and re-booking for a few thousand points. The trials of wandering Fred

SIN-BKK and return are short (cheap?) enough to consider an award flight for the connection. Especially when considering that the earning for any paid flight option is minimal. Be creative when wandering Fred

Ask how wheel chair assisted passengers are going to be accommodated ? Some people actually do need assistance when wandering Fred

On the contrary, Qantas tickets can be purchased via the old fashioned route, known as a travel agent. Which makes the ticket class (ie fare code) much more visible. Not of particular interest to QFF members but of much greater importance to OW partner FF members. Not just Australians are...

A bit of email address verification? For spam lists? Hello, Did you receive my previous email? Regards, Aldi Albrechts I don't think my email address should be wandering Fred

Actually there can be quite a bit of "enhancement in earnings" within the Qantas major fare categories. You do not always need to spend big $$. Look at the real fare codes in the partner crediting for QF flights to OneWorld partners. Qantas has multiple prices with in each fare category. With...

I work on the premise that leaving and returning to Australia is done with one way tickets. Though I wonder what the ramifications of an international-international connection in Australia as part of the ticket purchased outside of the country would be.... RE: American has some interesting...

Has anyone actually booked a DONE(4/5/6) (ex Japan seems most frugal) during the DSC period? Liberal application of QF flights would prove interesting Or am I again wandering Fred

Then you have the die hard AFFers..... Whose opinion of Project Sunrise is: Why fly direct when you can connect and sleep in a real bed when wandering Fred PS Bring back the HNL-CNS flight (actually flown in 1987)

4000 mile range would open up almost all of SE Asia to PER or DRW That would be interesting for wandering Fred

The only announcement I would like to see is that QF will follow the EU/UK 261 guidelines for QF and JQ flights which either depart from to arrive into Australian airports. Even if restricted to flights credited to a QFF account. I know..... Way too much wandering Fred

Last 90 days Oanda is reporting that the Lankan rupee has gone from 1US$=326 to 1US$=308 A minor correction perhaps, but will help in repaying the US$ debt on the airplanes They would like more people wandering Fred

There was a message board article on American Airlines business class fares.... initial post in 2019 AA offers TOD “tens of dollars” First Class & Upgrades I suspect you can easily find it with your favorite search engines More recent posts cover the "fall-out" where the high earning AA...

SriLankan Airlines flying through Turbulence – CEO Richard Nuttall - Opinion | Daily Mirror Tourism in SL Not an easy situation in SL. But as usual there are many sides to look at and only a few are regularly reported. Yes I have friends who are SL citizens and live in country. Perhaps that...

Have you checked the price? I couldn't see anything under five figures.. A DONEx (round the world) ticket solves the pricing problem when CAI-DOH is included in your wandering Fred

You may not be able to get short checked baggage..... And repeated usage of the "procedure" in other airlines has attracted attention of the FF fraud divisions. Not a good look if you plan on using a FF program to support your wandering Fred

both of which are limited to a narrow definition of family by QF. I would venture that a VERY high percentage of "free" transfers would be between "close" family members. Non free transfers apparently are frowned on under all FF program rules. But I might be far away in my wandering Fred PS...
