While OW may have its own rules (or not), this is far from unique in the alliance world. There are also sorts of restrictions/exclusions amongst Star Alliance members having access to other alliance members, so being in an alliance doesn't generally limit that behaviour.

Yeah, I posted about this about a month ago in another thread, and it includes shorter distance flights e.g. SYD-BNE. Some days had been entirely wiped to only have single seats redemptions (no doubles). Even days that still have them, most flights are single seats only, but with a couple of...

Yeah, it and others like it are a bit misleading as a financial comparison. While getting it for $300/day is potentially feasible, it doesn't mention the trade-offs, nor the requirements and limitations of doing it for post-retirement/elderly. It also disregards that they still have fixed...

I suspect they do. But presume it's the same back of the queue as their Bronze FF. And we know how bad that is... edit: And indeed that seems correct. Found a Business flight Syd-MNL on QF 19 Oct. Checked AA and it's also available there. But yeah, Bronze QF have virtually no hope of finding a...

I'd just try again another time, with another agent. Could have been a problem with systems at that time, or with that agent. But reportedly others have done it, and equally if there were significant problems I expect it would have been reported before.

Just some general commentary on pricing/cruises as you mentioned you are new. I haven't sailed Disney though kept an eye out when they announced arrival, but have experience on other mainstream lines (similar generaly standard to Disney). Basically, for cruises in general, that price is very...

It's fine. The credits and sectors are counted based on when flown/earnt, not when credited. That's why they give the extra month of grace on your account for validity, to allow late credits/sectors to come through without impacting your status.

I think even if you disregarded the costs, if you calculate the actual free time you'll have on the ground after transits and check-ins, you'll find it's too little to make it worthwhile.

That's just the cause of why it's incorrect.

Adding a different country is always problematic as not everyone is Australian or NZ, so won't have visas. Plus on top of that there's the frequent algae cleaning issue that's prevented cruises actually scheduled to go there from going this season.

Completely agree. Not sure why they think it acceptable to have an inferior product internationally i.e. lacking lounges than domestically.

The card is valid for an extended period to cover delays in credits being applied, as above. But the credits actually have to been earnt before the review date, so 10 Feb in your case.

Not reset, but they had some extensions and offers if you already had status that likely changed dates.

As above. Never heard of a line just offering a package by the day - as obviously most people would then only buy on sea days, which would change the overall economics and pricing of it. Regarding the second option, the packages are not sold as discount options. Obviously as a flat price, if...

If you just want the cheapest option with the double sc promo you can get business class to OOL @$361, then a choice fare back @ $73 Tue Feb 7 for example, for <$440 (w/ disc).

Sorry, all my searches had been for 2 pax. So they've changed it to only 1 business seat available as a reward now.

I'm familiar with that option. As I said, VA made a change a few days back to what I wrote - yes, technically, it's due to the removal off all Business rewards rather than a change in cost, but the result is effectively the same. I noticed as had been looking and suddenly every flight on every...

Well, they gave them another hike a few days back. All the $350 'cheapies' have now been removed from Fri-Sun, and now only apply Mon-Thu. Fri-Sun prices are bumped up to $559. These changes were also applied to business class points rewards on those days - all savers removed Fri-Sun. Now all...

For economy flights to Italy in April, I'd suggest Emirates, in the Airbus 380, as that will be best for comfort. They have good connections, and partner with Qantas to earn points. You can then compare what's cheaper, and see if the savings are worth the tradeoffs (comfort, time).

There's no harm in making both bids. However, they are on separate systems, so if your award upgrade comes through, ensure you cancel your cash bid at that time. Cash upgrades are mostly done 1-2 days out. The award one would likely happen first, and once the cash bid upgrades have been issued...
