    Honestly, what is the point of Platinum One?

    This is poor form regardless of status level of the pax. Whether technically IATA rules state late inbound carrier must sort it out, the average Joe bloe in Y would logically expect QF to assist if the flight they had missed was a QF flight. So for a P1 to be told essentially told F*^% O^% in...

    Air Algerie Plane missing

    Very sad, must be tough for airline staff across the industry right now.

    US Dividend Miles - Oneworld Award Booking Questions and General Discussion

    So do I and availability of TG F. While not as easy, long transit in BKK so still possible. Eg: SYD-BKK (QF) BKK-HKG-xx_ (CX) Or if the QF BKK has no seats & traveling to Europe , SYD-KUL/HKG (MH or CX)-BKK BKK-DOH-xx_ (QR)

    US Dividend Miles - Post Your SUCCESSFUL oneworld bookings here

    MH does not use Amadeus, which is used by QF/BA/QR. The only MH segments that will show up are the ones immediately connecting to the segments on the Amadeus PNR. Bad thing about MH segments is you can't seem to retrieve them on the MH manage my booking site, but you can book a meal.

    Malaysian Airlines MH17 Crashes in Ukraine

    Wow, this is almost unbelievable. For most of us Aussies we only hear in the news of the instability in other parts if the world, so much good but still too many bad in this world. Obviously friends and family of this onboard.... But I feel most of innocent people in MH, eg cabin crew, hope...

    US Dividend Miles - Award Booking Questions and General Discussion

    Agrede CX F is hard to get. Of all the European destinations that have F cabin, MXP may have the best availability. Also keep an eye out for when ZRH starts.

    Unisex Sauna opens at Finnair Helsinki Lounge

    "Traditionally saunas in Finland are taken naked, but guests are "recommended" to use towels, states the airline." Hmmm does this mean clothing optional. Frankly the way nudity is a non issue is quite refreshing and healthy.

    Automation ex Asia and DXB

    Excellent news, very handy for one-way award bookings from Asia. Pleasantly surprised Qantas have fixed this shortfall.

    Qantas trials 'all day check-in' for international flights

    Now that would be a great service offering by QF, setup a checkin service at Central station. Though most flights leave morning ish, so probably not that beneficial.

    Melbourne First Lounge

    Trip Report: Canberra to Berlin - with a few stops along the way!

    Look forward to the next chapter Matt. What a great way to start your RTW trip with an op-up! The scenic route via ADL has paid dividends.

    Qantas operated LAX First/oneworld lounges at TBIT

    Very disappointing that lounge pass is not valid at LAX. LAX is QFi most important destination. QF manage the lounge, and capacity has been increased with the renovations.

    QF BKK flights

    Agree, remain calm but maintain a firm ground based on clearly QF published rules of through check onto OW airlines even if on separate PNR's.

    Santiago Supplementary Services

    For those on holidays, a Fri dep is good, as you arrive into SCL to enjoy the full weekend there. Would be good if QF can make this work permanently but where will the spare 747 come from? Also with Aerolineas Argentinas ceasing there services there must be some additional traffic going to LAN...

    Cathay F from hong kong to tokyo what to do?

    Haven has some nice offerings and great table service. But agree something about seeing your noodles made to order or some steam or pan fried buns..... Also at peak times, the F Haven dining room can feel very hustle bustle, open air of noodle bar is relaxing. I visited the Bridge lounge on...

    Flying *A from Australia to Europe

    MH denies rumours of 28/5 shutdown

    I not across all the details, but from what I've read, there were numerous mistakes or correct procedures not followed after the flight took off that was outside of MH control. Air traffic control in KL, then Vietnam. Military radar personnel ignoring the plane as non hostile. MH handling post...
