Usually airlines have their own internal helpdesks so they can speak to each other about issues so I find it a bit odd that they can't just call up CX and get it sorted asap. Is "fell out" parlance for the CX flight being cancelled in error I wonder? Call QF again and tell them you need to get...

This whoIe episode highlights again how media will simply publish anything without checking the facts with the other party first. The original story is so radically different from the truth it's not funny yet it's the initial version the public will remember - not what really happened. I...

Glad you got it sorted. You've gotta be careful with some online travel agents (OTA's) as while your flights may be in the same booking they sometimes use separate tickets which could potentially be a problem should you misconnect to do an inbound flight being late.

I have S8 through Vodafone on trips to the USA but won't use the $5.00 plan everyday, only if there is inadequate airport wi-fi so if not using it will turn off data and turn on flightmode. I bought an AT&T on a long layover in LAX at the Westchester store (courtesy of The Parking Spot Sepulveda...

What's the bet that immigration officials only asked about the alcohol after the Iranian passport was produced?

If she only had a single entry visa it could have been a work visa if she visits the UAE regularly to perform cosmetic procedures as otherwise visas issued to nationals of Sweden are for multiple entries. It states on the Emirates website that if you've already fully utilised your 90 day visa...

Paid exit row seating has been in for over a year now. If they're still available on the day at the airport there is no charge. Qantas will now charge you for all 'extra legroom' economy seats

There was another similar incident claiming the family was tossed off a flight because of a toddler tantrum when the parents would not obey crew instructions restraining their kids for landing. Other reports from pax state that the language used by the adults towards the ground staff was...

The irony is that the meal voucher would probably buy you more at an airport food outlet than what you would get on a VA flight seeing as though they count a packet of chips as 'dinner.'

It didn't seem that the meal voucher was offered, more that it came about after the mother of the child turned on the waterworks. It sounded like a case of squeaky wheel getting the most oil as opposed to something that was offered to all disrupted pax.

We flew BKK/MEL on JQ30 connecting with JQ5 MEL/BNE which was the now defunct MEL/BNE/HNL service. Got through the security check at the gate in BKK with 2 x 187ml bottles of wine because it was buried at the bottom of our carry on. It's a hand search not an X-ray machine so they obviously...

Thought you were more an LV girl PF! On the subject of designer luggage, I don't think I've ever seen a commercial pilot in possession of a designer bag from Gucci or any other fashion house - they just don't spend money on that kind of thing. :eek: :eek: Not sure what kind of 'pilot' the OP...

Besides your ETA for Canada you will still need a valid ESTA for the USA even to transit through.

IMHO the ones 'gaming the system' are the pax who know they can pre-select but are too lazy to do it/can't be bothered and feel that they will automatically get their desired seats together because a) booked 6 months ago b) are in the same booking c) have an aisle and/or window seat request in...

OWE extra baggage allowances from the OneWorld official website. It excludes BA's HLO airfares however one could assume by not specifically excluding RJ by default they are included in the following: Emerald privileges - loyalty programs, best loyalty programs Extra baggage allowance

Can you go out to DOH Airport and specifically ask RJ if they will extend the 32kg limit per piece to you as a OWE as per their own Platinum Plus top tier members. Also found a link to OptionTown for putting in a bid for excess luggage and an upgrade to Crown Class.

SO has a Priority Pass with the Amex Plat charge and the thing is when you arrive at a lounge and sign the eftpos receipt no prices appear on the docket as it's more of an attendance record for billing purposes later on.

Not sure what the extra piece charge would be but there are usually two rates with any airline - the lower rate being flying 100% with that airline and the higher rate being for multiple airlines in the journey. If you are flying RJ DOH/xAMM/BKK you're probably better off having a totally...

Don't worry too much about EK or AS not being in an alliance. You don't have to fly on AS metal as you're simply using their ff program to credit EK flights to. If work is paying for EK in J you'll get lounge access anyway based on your class of travel ie access to J Lounges so you don't need...

Not sure if your travel will be down the back of the EK bus but premium cabins have great earning potential when credited to Alaska Miles which in turn can be redeemed on CX, EK & QF etc with low taxes. May be worth considering.
