    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    This ABC article contains a bit more information: Virgin plans to welcome small cats and dogs into flight cabins, but what happens if you have an allergy? So 67% of the pet owners said they would fly with pets. I wonder how many of the non-pet owners said they support the change?

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    It's possible no-one would notice, but I believe it's a criminal act to fly under someone else's name. https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/criminal/legislation/criminal-code-act/using-false-identification-information-to-obtain-an-air-passenger-ticket-for-a-constitutional-flight/

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    There's a 'name correction' for typos and name changes like marriage etc. which retains the same booking (if the CR is for a QF flight and not a partner redemption). AFAIK 'name changes' where the ticket is now for a new person require it to be split and cancelled, then re-book for the new...

    Is Qantas for real?

    I suppose a deeper look into the statistics would be needed. My gut says that for e.g. VA operate about 4x as many flights as Rex for MEL>SYD on a given day, which could mean they have a higher number of flights in windows of bad weather (storms in the afternoon/evening) and have more capacity...

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    QF503 BNE to SYD this morning (5:25AM). Long line for priority boarding as usual for weekday flights to Sydney. After priority rows 15-30 were called and then 4-15. Flight was probably only half full at best to be honest.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Called up to cancel my Platinum Charge (AF due in Feb) and cited the EK/SQ points devaluations as the main driver. Don't push a huge amount through the card ($5k/mo) but mostly travel related. Have only been a customer for 12 months, was offered 30k points to stay. Was hoping for more to be...

    Qantas lounge access at Tokyo Narita

    We visited on the night of the first flights out of Narita - it was definitely J pax only as they were turning away others, but if it's now officially a partner lounge then QC should be fine.

    Family Transfer Changes

    Useful change, especially if you're just short a few points. Can confirm it was 5000 per transfer to a max of 600,000. Certainly much better than Virgin's restrictive family transfers.

    Can I change name on a classic reward flight?

    Yep we got stung by this unfortunately. We had Qsuites booked to LHR on a CR codeshare with Qantas, and EK F as well home (also CR). My wife got a new passport with her married name on it, and had to get another one issued instead in her maiden name before we left.. Then switch back when we got...

    Qantas lounge access at Tokyo Narita

    We flew QF J from NRT to BNE on 26/11 and were directed to the Aspire lounge, didn't actually try to access the JAL lounge. Aspire was very quiet as they were only allowing J pax to enter, food and drink was alright.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF62 NRT > BNE Sunday 26th November. Japanese set menu ran out pretty quick (I think by row 4), opted for the salmon which was tasty albeit a bit sweet. Sake was pretty good too.

    Melbourne- Bali/Denpasar

    Not many lounge options in Bali, certainly no Qantas. We used priority pass to access the Concordia Lounge.

    Fiji Airways to LAX?

    I think the gap is just due to unlucky numbers being removed, a few airlines do it.

    Article: Reward Seat Release Patterns Have Changed Fundamentally

    In July my partner and I were flying CDG>DXB>SIN on Emirates with a J redemption on the first leg and then Y for the second. We managed to book 2x seats in F for both legs about 2 days before departure from CDG. Definitely a welcome and exciting surprise to wake up to!
