    No. He's knifing him in the back.

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    Not a FF comment, but a runner comment. As she already knows she has entry to Chicago, I'm assuming she must have a guaranteed spot, since the ballot spots aren't known until December. Given you're organising your own transport, it's probably not due to being part of an international tour...

    Help with Booking Business Class Return Flights to Europe

    Bear in mind that the first week of October is likely to be school holidays. Bargain fares might be challenging at that time.

    Help with Booking Business Class Return Flights to Europe

    We made our own on several occasions when travelling with my son who has many food issues. They were brilliant except on one occasion in a backwater hotel in a backwater village in China when none of the restaurant staff could read.

    Overcharged Velocity Points CPH to MEL?

    FWIW, I don't think this is, strictly speaking, a married segment. It's simply ticketed together. The legs are still priced individually. By way of analogy, I could book a revenue ticket CPH-MEL on SQ for given dates and given fare class and be quoted a price. I could also do a multi-city...

    Minimum time for Domestic to International transfer at Sydney - Separate Tickets

    Depends on many factors. Maybe or maybe not. What’s your destination, visa requirements, what passport you’re travelling on, further ongoing connections. FWIW, I think you’re crazy contemplating a 1hr 40 unprotected connection in SYD from DOM to INT on an outbound leg. You miss it and your...

    What's this airline?

    Is it possible that your error was in assuming it was an “airline” when, in fact, it was Jetstar?

    I had one a couple of months ago that was along the lines of... Dear Gremlin, You should consider doing <<stuff>> with <<Scammy, scummy company>>. We are delivering great results in doing <<stuff>> with businesses like yours, including Gremlin's Company. It did, in fact, lead to me...

    Changes to Qantas Special Meals - 1 Oct 24

    It looks like Qantas are changing their special meals. Quite a few changes to special meals that were previously nut-free, now including nuts. Also, the gluten free meal will now no longer be dairy free. Your meal can be EITHER GF or DF, but not both. Disappointing given the...

    What cheeses me off

    WCMO is procurement departments that feel like they run an organisation. In a previous existence, had a deep and extensive (and ongoing) relationship with a particular key client. Procurement decides they are going to 'streamline' their external providers and ask everyone to go through a...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Keep picking those cherries. Most of your points have nothing to do with CR+, but instead with the Loyalty program as a whole. Yes. Customers engage with the program as a whole. Some engage with CR+ and some don't. It's one of the few things QFF has done significantly differently this year...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I don't think you can clutch those straws any tighter... I think we all get the fact that you don't like CR+, but it's one facet of a multi-dimensional program. Let's look at this objectively for a moment. The results for Loyalty showed: Above system member growth Well above system active...

    Qantas FY24 Annual Financial Results

    I completely disagree. It's already contributing to a flywheel effect. The VERY FIRST point under the REDEMPTION heading on p28 of the Supplementary Presentation was about increased EARN.

    Qantas FY24 Annual Financial Results

    I know your question is rhetorical, but it's by devaluing the program in a way that makes it unappealing for members to be retained. Lots of 'sky is falling' comments in the CR+ thread about how CR+ was going to be the thing that broke QFF. Clearly the opposite, but I'm still surprised by how...

    Qantas FY24 Annual Financial Results

    QAN up in early trading in response, in a market that's otherwise red. I must admit, I was particularly impressed by the picture emerging from Loyalty, especially around flywheel acceleration. 1724890299 Supplementary Presentation has some interesting stuff relating to CR+

    Melbourne Int-Dom transit, separate ticket

    To quote the random guy my wife and I sat next at a wedding once... "Maccas coffee is the best coffee." No. We did not become friends.

    Minimum connection time Dom-Int in SYD, not single ticket

    If it were me, I’d have an Uber or taxi waiting for me the moment I stepped out of the office at 1340. I wouldn’t be then adding in extra delays in waiting for the vagaries of a bus timetable.
