I'm standing on a vantage point in Sydney watching some lightning amongst the cloud off the coast, absolutely beautiful. Made me think though because my wife asked me what happens to a plane when it gets hit by lightning. I said a short answer that many planes have been hit by lightning but...

I don't need the flights but I'm very interested to see if these go back into the U bucket (assuming that's what you booked)

Flew them SEA-LAX last year. Didn't mind them. Typical nth am carrier.

Posted on the 9/9/13 Well it got up to .9750 and then fell to .8650 What next? Further falling. IMO

Received DSC x2 email tonight... as a red :oops: although i did drop from silver this year.

Got a follow up email reminding me that I registered for 2x DSC but am running out of time to book. Last date I can book is 4th April. Good 4 weeks there

Markis wouldn't that be a bit of a yellow flag for pilots to go through what would normally be controlled airspace?

It's all we ever hear from AJ every 6 months as qantas goes down the toilet. Complains about competition increasing and things are tough. Yes that is absolutely true and if business was easy we'd all be rolling in cash. But it's not easy, it's a challenge, one that he has clearly demonstrated...

The award section of the AS website has all the answers as they can differ depending on which regions you're flying to and from.

FWIW 3 out of 3 family transfers I have done have been completed within the hour.

I've received more miles for less. I'd e replying kindly and suggesting something a bit more..

It's an interesting debate and I swing both ways (in the debate) As a low count poster one could look back over what I've posted and probably not think I've contributed very much. As others have alluded to, for me it can sometimes feel almost intimidating because you know that your knowledge...

I also received my points and bonus within 3 days. 1 x 40k+12k

Went there(adults only one) for our honeymoon at the beginning of 2012, was absolutely beautiful in every respect. But the Fijians were what made it for us, awesome hospitality and friendliness. The most awesome-nest 8 seater teppanyaki restaurant to an after hours kava party with the staff...

Doesn't matter found it. 30,000 one way business Cathay HKG to Aus

Yea I am close to a redemption which I'm thankful for! I was just thinking for the OP it might be easier/cheaper to just get a cash return to KUL. But I haven't costed anything. Edit: Unless trying for U class redemption which will be better value with an Alaskan award. On that, how much is an...

Yea and I'd say it's probably easier to get a cheap return ticket to KUL than award with Alaskan for this purpose IMO

Is that routing allowed with Alaskan? I was under the impression that the only place you can redeem award from the South Pacific with Alaskan is North America. I say that because the award chart on the website only has this option and when you search for flights on Alaskan it says the routing...

I saw an ad the other day for QF32 on ACI sometime in March on discovery channel.

Sensationalized cough. Yes what happened was absolutely very serious but for different reasons. If you go by channel 9 then the engine blew up with an explosion big enough to blow the whole plane up. The first officer did nothing but turn alarm sounds off (which sounded the whole episode) The...
