Sounds like a great deal. Was this booked on the AA Australian website in AUD? The key factor is you did all the comparisons & came up with the best option that worked for your family. MCE seating on AA is a great status perk & certainly makes travelling in whY a lot more comfortable. My...

This scenario is a bit like the dinosaur or the egg saga. There would have to have been a duplicate booking in the EK checkin system, so when the EK CSA brought up two identical names they should have double checked which EK pnr was on the NZ paperwork and checked pax in accordingly. NZ...

I'm trying to understand how there was a "series of mistakes made by Qantas" when there were no Qantas flight involved nor any contact with QF staff anywhere ie QF didn't book it nor would they have been doing the checkin at DRW. What was the flight number DRW/SIN - 3K or a QF codeshare - don't...

If pax were flying into Gatwick from DXB but ex Heathrow to ATH then bags would only be tagged to LGW because pax are changing airports. If one person got an EK boarding pass and the other didn't it could well be that EK were overbooked so a boarding pass may not have been able to be issued in...

It may work for JQ destinations eg HNL however a lot of the time a one way fare USA to Australia would be more that a return fare in AUD ex AU. A one way points ticket on QF ex AU will have a cheaper co-payment for the extras than a one way points on on QF ex USA - in fact a lot of one way...

You need to factor in the loss of future J class sales to the airline if the opportunistic NB flyer were to be have been upgraded when they sit next to a pax who has paid thousands of dollars to sit there. The first thing they're going to do when they sit down is boast to their seatmate they've...

Is this an international trip were the base luggage allowance is 30kg each? If so you would only get the 46kg for yourself and 30kg for your wife so 76kg in total irrespective of how many pieces as long as none exceeded 32kg each. Was it a points upgrade? Sometimes there can be a glitch and...

What if the relative was a dual UK & NZ Citizen or does it depend on them being in NZ at the time & thus flying back home? Sounds like a potential can of worms just like Senators with dual citizenship.

We've been to Cuba three times arriving into HAV ex MIA on AA twice and the other time on B6 ex FLL. We were never asked for proof of travel insurance on any of those occasions. A good place to start is the section "we will not cover" and go from there. You mean like when you hire a moped in...

That's one hell of a bad assumption on their part. You'd think it would be common sense to assume that if you cancelled the card that would cancel the insurance.

Was it round trip SYD/PVG/JFK or just one way? What class if travel? How many points did you earn? You can always look at the site www.wheretocredit.com as it tells you what other frequent flyer programs you can credit to. I would then go to the partner earning table on the website of the...

So you've paid $800.00 in hefty QF carrier surcharges applicable for J award travel on QF (plus some token taxes, fees & charges) when you a) didn't even end up on QF b) certainly weren't in J & c) weren't even on an award ticket any longer. Seems only simpler and fairer if you were to be...

When travelling one way ex the USA in scenarios such as yours it's worth comparing the award ticket with a paid airfare as the co-payment on award flights can sometime be over the top.

Duty staff may have to be guaranteed a meal probably as part of the F/A's award however it don't believe they need to get first choice over a commercial pax so don't see why they couldn't have ended up with the salmon salad. Staff on leisure travel are not guaranteed a meal and should only be...

I'm guessing you weren't there for the Reno Air Races then? Only been there once for the aforementioned reason. Skechers are usually my go to item for footwear when travelling. Have closed shoe varieties, thongs & sandals which pretty much covers all bases.

Have driven in the US a few times but still curious about the rule about being able to turn right on a red (after giving way to traffic on the left ;) ) - is this fair dinkum, unless expressly stated otherwise or does it depend on which US state you're driving in? Always feels a bit wrong to...

Are pax economical with their carryon in Japan ie don't carry everything but the kitchen sink?

The QF 789 armrests in whY can be pushed right back so they're flush with the seatback. The 388's aren't so good.

I realise they should however I was querying whether this would happen if using automated gates because if the gate reader goes by the info on the boarding pass then the non-elite travelling companion would be rejected. It only takes about 10 minutes to scan everyone through the gate reader...

Can the group 2 have rollaboards not just personal items that would fit under the seat? So does that mean a non-elite spouse or travelling companion would not be able to board with their elite travelling companion or if they're in the same pnr their boarding pass would receive the green light...
