    Interesting to note that the QF BNE-MNL fares don't show as points or SC earning.

    Qantas adds Brisbane-Manila but suspends Sydney-Shanghai flights

    1. Flights from Au can rarely connect to domestic destinations same day. Arriving on QF19 or the PR flights required overnight hotel anyway. So, a 1am (3am AEST) arrival. For me I'd be wanting to grab a hotel and take a ~10am flight. 2. We don't know what BI will throw at it. They usually seem...

    Spoilt for choices, confusion reigns!

    The biz class decision is more than just the flying time. You have made the journey and arrive well rested and stretched out. As soon as you hit the ground you are ready to go. Plus you spent the 24 hours together dining and experiencing nice service. Getting an open jaw with either Emirates of...

    What is the process for determining who is going to get some of the $$? I'd like to think my 2023 BNE-LAX flight would qualify but don't know where to start to join the queue.

    SIA/VA Points and Status Credits

    On an upcoming SQ booking I'm using my KF number in the booking. For lounge access I'm assuming I can show my VA Gold card via the app in conjunction with my SQ boarding pass. Or do I have to also have the VA number on the booking and forgo the wifi access?

    Apple Airtags

    first time I secured my airtags in with the spare wheel and dropped in behind the side wall cavity. it was amazing how quickly it came around to needing to replace the battery. now it's just under some felt under the wheel which is secured in place and under the cargo area flooring.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    I could not confirm and book by my October USA trip during the recent DSC. The itin pricing through QF promotion was $3,200. Booked the same 4 flights today through AA for $1,487. QF price is now >$3,200. Kind of a DSC getting SC for half the price.

    Flying in/out of The Stans

    My friend is joining a ground tour through The Stans in May 2024. It's a new area for me offering some opinions on flights. What would be the best way in terms of price to get from BKK into FRU 26 May and TAS to DXB 20 Jun? (I'm thinking BKK-Amalty then a more local airline FRU/TAS.)
