Had a frustrating experience in Manila over the last few days, firstly trying to change a flight with the local office resulted in long queues, dropped calls, being told to call back whilst they compute the fare difference and then when I called back the person I'd spoken to had left so I had...

Very easy, just follow the transfer signs, no need to collect bags etc. The international terminal is quite small (relatively) so should be easy to navigate. Hopefully you'll get boarding passes for the entire journey in HKG, so should be very easy. As for you're last comment on the minimum...

Current employer pays for flexi Y, so upgrading uses few points and is worthwhile. Normally the points earned on the flexi-Y ticket just about covers the upgrade...

I once did one on Kuwait Airways, warts and all. Only because i struggled to find info about them beforehand and totally regretted flying with them (in fact I didn't bother using my inbound and booked Qatar Airways back from Asia to Europe).

i thought I read that they were now wholly owned by Qantas.

Despite not being able to make changes online, overall I've found Qantas Hotels and their Philippine callcentre pretty good.

Quick question, do you have the choice to access the EK lounge at SYD as a Gold when flying on normal international QF flights/routes?

Has anyone got any recent experiences of Manila? Flying there on QF19 and back on QF20 next week, and wondered whether you still have to pay the 'terminal fee' on departure, some websites are saying they had now rolled it into the cost of airline tickets. Just need to know whether I have to keep...

I used to sail into those island regularly as a Navigator on cruise ships, wandered ashore in all of them and was a little underwhelmed. The Antarctic on the other hand....

I matched QF to EY and then AB. Air Berlin was quick, no hassle. Tried with Turkish, no such luck.

St Helena, Ascension, The Falklands, I've been to all of these, just another island...

Thats strange, mine has shown as 'Partner Gold' whenever I've used mine. The points posted within a few days.

Interestingly, our union has prevented us company flying Virgin because it wasn't a full service airline, now with the food on all routes, I don't see the problem. I've been pretty happy with Virgin Australia on my flights except for the nasty little Fokkers up to Karratha...

Do they still serve meals in economy on proper plates and tea in china cups? Last time I flew with them was over ten years ago and was quite surprised.

its ts quite sad that airlines can't offer you anything in lieu of lounge access, at least vouchers for eating and drinking or similar.

Thanks for that, good advice. I had an excellent experience with Virgin. I missed my connection, and arrived at the airport for the 05:35 flight, and was swiftly transferred onto that flight without charge (advised because of my gold status). Lounge was pleasant enough, and loved the wifi...

Just a bit of feedback so far, attempted mobile checkin and the passbook passes had no indication of status. Then tried web check in and the boarding passes were printed with 'EY xx_xx_xx_xx_x. PGL Partner Gold', so it seems the system does recognise the status and hopefully will suffice for...

Sounds good, a few colleagues are a bit upset at the switch from Virgin, primarily because most are gold and plat with QF, and had been advised it wasn't a full service airline. However, sounds similar to QF offerings on the same routes. Thanks for the reply.

Unexpectedly taking my first VA trip KTA-PER-SYD on Friday (red eye urgh) due to a cost saving initiative by my employer. I have Etihad Gold status, but don't have the card with me. If I enter the EY FF number at online check in, will it reflect on my boarding pass and allow me access to the...

i was was thinking about this a few weeks ago in the SIN lounge, it was very very quiet and I wanted to make a phone call, but didn't really want the whole lounge to listen in due to the personal nature of the call. Ended up going out of the lounge.
