Usually depends on attitude of check in attendant. < 5kg usually pretty lenient. Otherwise, from memory, I think it's $10 per kg.

Yeah - always a tough luck story when put in for a points upgrade and cop a footy team (who change flights/book at late notice) and they take up 30+ J seats.

I'm booked on QF 31 and QF 32 in late January (23rd and 30th to be exact; SYD-LHR-SYD) on a paid PE ticket. I've requested an upgrade to J. What's everyones (well maybe WP's) experiences with op-ups on this sector? Is there more chance given I have a paid PE ticket? It is the A380...

IMO there is no 'science' to getting op-ups. But some things can be done to help your chances of getting one. Basically you need to be a high tier frequent flyer (Platinum or Gold) booked in an economy cabin that is oversold and then you have a chance. In the past 12 months my travel has...

Got another op-up yesterday SYD-MEL 1830hrs. Checked E/F earlier in the day and saw no Y and 9 J seats. Checked again in lounge and 2 J left. Got the magical beep upon boarding. Continues my good run this year.

I've done this LAN sector a few times - but probably over 12 months ago. I thought their J product was rubbish. If things have changed then I may give it a try again one day soon. (Although probably the SYD-AKL sector to avoid the early kick off required for the AKL-SYD)

Well a LINFOX truck doesn't usually carry 300 passengers!

I often watch and think: Stand by for an AFF member to say "Stand by for the healines for No News". :lol:

Pilot shut down one of aircraft's engines - diverted to Perth Just got that info through Twitter: Sky News Australia (SkyNewsAust) on Twitter A Qantas jet has been diverted to Perth after the pilot shut down one of the craft's engines...

Thanks browski

Whats best lounge at BOM for OWE?

I moved from a Bold to a 3GS last week. Use Exchange and was skeptical - but after talking to some others about it I made the move. One downside is that Replies/Forwards from iPhone do not show up with the little arrow icon in your Outlook indicating the message was replied to or forwarded on.

I agree with sefty here. I've lost count of my op-ups this year. Maybe 15 or so. A lot of SYD-MEL and MEL-SYD. The most bizzare of all was a KTA-PER on a 734 last week that had 30 pax in Y. Allocated 1A at checkin after doing OLCI. Very weird. Think it was a training exercise for new FA in...

Got my leatherman through unknowingly last week PER-MEL, PER-PBO, KTA-PER. Didn't realise it was in my hand luggage until I found it yesterday. All domestic - but still expected it would get picked up. Obviously I'm pretty stoked not to loose it.

I guess Yes! I've had a good year domestically - maybe about 15 on departure upgrades. Always on Red-E-Deals always booked off peak looking for the cheapest fare. Never look at loadings when booking. So based on my experience, good chance.

I like it. Thought it was in the pipeline when the new layout/design of the 'Manage my Booking" page was viewed in the past month or so.

Just some feedback on my Dom flight seat allocations since Jan 1: On 767: 36 x I have had Row 23. 8 x I have had Row 24. 4 x I have had 25,26 or Exit. On 737: 16 x I have had Row 4. 4 x I have had Row 5. 1 x I haev had Row 6. Additionally I have had 4 ODU's. Most of the time I try OLCI...

Interesting thread. I'm an early 20's WP and do about 2-300k miles per year (at a rough guess). Generally I find the overall service I recieve is equal to that of all other WP's. However, I also understand that I may get treated differently becuase of my age and accept that. It doesn't worry...

Flying with EK this week trans-tasman. I got special fares back in Jan: ~$300 return including tax. Just got this email this evening: Of course I accepted. Dear Mr. X...

When I've had to book other passengers on my flight and I don't have their passport details (EK and NZ....and maybe LA) I just put in false info such as Passport# AA11111. Never had an issue.
