    The <24 hour 'stopover' - your experiences

    Currently looking at flights for my Canada/US trip next year. I have the option of either flying with CX (16 hour HKG layover on the way there and I think 5 hours on the way back) or EY (20 hour layover in AUH followed by 5.5 hours in DUB on the way there, 14 hours in DUS followed by another 16...

    QR or EY in J? KUL - JFK.

    Hope you don't mind me stealing your route because I'm currently planning a trip to NY next June :lol: My 2 cents FWIW - I would go with EY only because you get to fly the A380 on 2 of those legs.

    To burn or not to burn?

    I read up some of the old threads including mattq's suggestion and played around with some flight options but couldn't get to the price point that I want. Finally I rang Flight Centre and got quoted $6300 return with AA, waiting for TA to send the itemised quote over. She told me flat out there...

    To burn or not to burn?

    Morning all, So to get upgraded from PEY to J is not simply a matter of having enough points, I have to have enough SC as well to even be able to put in a request for an upgrade using points? As an aside, I'd like to give a crack at trying to find some cheap J flights myself if someone can...

    Thanks again Steady, that makes my decision somewhat less complicated then.

    To burn or not to burn?

    Thanks everyone. I'm a couple of months out from booking my ticket so have some time to sleep on it. If I do decide to use my points to upgrade from PE to J, can I only do it with QF or can I go with another partner airline like say JAL? The T&C says classic upgrade rewards are available for QF...

    To burn or not to burn?

    Thanks all. I've got about 99k points I'm currently in the process of applying for the HSBC card with 60k points so if that goes through I will have enough points to redeem return J flights. But no SC, lost the lot recently because I didn't know they were important... Steady - are you saying...

    To burn or not to burn?

    Hello AFF-ers, I'm very new and have a question for some of the experts out there. I'm planning a solo US trip next year, the current plan is to buy a PE ticket and then upgrade to J using points (I'm a QF bronze member). I've read somewhere that the earn and burn method is good because your...

    Hello everyone! It is amazing what is out there on the world wide web, never would've thought there is a forum dedicated to FF fans :D Flew J class with BA a couple of years back for an unexpected family event and I've never quite been able to go back to the tail end ever since. Currently in...

    PJs on QF J international?

    They might have on the SYD-SIN leg but I was too excited to wait (first time J flyer with Qantas). They were even gracious enough to give me an extra pair + amenities kit to take home as a gift. The SIN-SYD leg was an absolute zoo which was surprising considering the flight time and the staff...

    I flew to SIN earlier this year (afternoon flight from memory) and I got PJs both ways when I asked for them.
