It is counting on some cardholders consuming less of the extras than the annual fee, but it is also counting on those extras driving lots of spending on the card generating fees from the merchants. All the travel insurance basically requires lots of spend to be put on the card - all the...

The annual fee covers lots of things - depends which you use. It also pays for the Travel credits, the Travel Insurance itself, the various cashback offers like shop small, extra points earn etc. Depends on what you value. The insurance is very good in some respects, but not so useful in...

LMGTFY Qantas Titanium Travel Insurance After 6 hours delay up to $750 per covered person, but has a $250 per person excess.

Again the Platinum Amex insurance comes up trumps - zero excess on Travel Inconvenience cover

A real bummer that the Amex insurance wouldn't be available for a work trip as it would not have been paid for on your card, However, begs the question of what sort of TI your employer has arranged to cover you for these situations?

The Amex platinum Travel Inconvenience cover is very good for these annoying sorts of delays (9 - 12 hours overnight). So a four hour delay and the amount available kicks in - and the scheduled benefit is up to $700 - and if 2 covered persons travelling, $1,400 - which is much more flexible...

This is where Travel Insurance with a higher limit is very useful. Can safely go your own way and book, then work out whether to hit up QF or the TI, knowing that if QF baulk, the TI will cover you, Had a case of being called in London about midday about a delay for QF SIN-SYD that was going...

The CIRC22 are Oneworld Circle Pacific fares (See conditions). and in a similar category to the Global Explorers (RTW fares). They have very specific requirements - eg. Australia, North America, North Asia, have mileage limitations, numbers of stops and distance limitations. Great value if...

If you want the DSC, then the existing PNR will have to be used, so the TA approach is out (I don't think there is going to be much they could do with those fare classes anyway). You can use your flex Y one way to change to any of option 2, 3, or 4 that you wish at any time. Given the change...

All depends on the fare rules. In this case, for simple returns, you are correct, pretty much gone, but if you are playing with other fare types, such as DCIRC22 and the like, that still only require ticketing 25 days before departure, there are still some things that can be done when booking...

Options 2, 3 and 4 are all valid - and with the pros and cons you have identified. For option 1, you have forgotten that adding the return leg and repricing will incur the change fee - and suffers from the same issue as options 2 and 3. For what its worth, the evaluation comes into the...

There does need to be some differentiation maintained, otherwise sales of J and F would drop. Full recline was all that was asked for, nothing about actual comfort or utility - needs to maintain that Economy ambiance.

I am afraid that you (via your Travel agent) made the change in routing, so you would not be eligible for ORC. If Qantas made the change, then you would be. The fact that QF booked you on a 30 min scheduled connection, obviously with the fall back to 9 hours meant they were going to fly your...

But it is already available self serve...

The "To upgrade Travel Class" cell for the first International should just match the domestic. It has no real meaning anyway, other than to confuse, as the actual terms and conditions make things quite clear.

Are you referring to the Domestic or International table? Domestic doesn't mention "Economy" as a word, but has Red e-Deal and Flex, which are the normal domestic economy fares. If you are meaning it is missing the economy fares sold as domestic legs of international flights, then this would...

Short answer no. Slightly longer answer, not unless they are paying a whole lot more - close to business class. Think the all J SQ set ups. Even longer answer - it is not practical even if it could be marginally economic. Comes down to number of passengers, and density / weight. Need a...

For Hong Kong, and 24 hours (or really anything other than late night to early morning), don't be constrained by the airport. Hop on the MTR and stay on the island or in Kowloon. The intown check-in is ramping up again, makes it easy to get back (if you didn't have luggage checked through or...

Nothing airside (unless you count a Cabana in a lounge), but the Regal is connected to the terminal. Snap - beaten to it.

You might be very lucky, but I wouldn't count on that always being the case. They could well argue that a misconnect due to a delayed flight on separate tickets is something that might be expected, but more importantly is not outside your control - as you could have made the booking on a single...
