    Velocity Family Transfers Online Suspended

    The juicy targets are those flying J and F though (in terms of points earn), and I'd imagine those people usually have FF#

    Velocity Family Transfers Online Suspended

    I wonder if it's related to FF# being replaced on Qatar Account - FlyerTalk Forums and Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying. At least one case there of someone's FF number being replaced with a fraudster's VA number You'd think so, but the above cases seem to...

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Those boarding pass printers could be fun, but I couldn't find any Bonza boarding pass card stock

    Cost for airlines transferring you to a rival

    I can't find a source right now, but I remember a spat between the US Majors where DL was complaining that AA was rebooking pax onto them significantly more than DL was rebooking pax onto AA. Did this happen or am I remembering things?

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Before they made this change the wait time was about ~15-20 minutes, so I reckon someone got a KPI or something based on average time to answer call, not realising (or more likely not caring) that the experience for customers is significantly worse with the outsourced call centres.

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    During 2021 and earlier Platinum members generally only got the Hobart call center, but nowadays the only difference I can see is that we go to the front of the phone queue so there's nearly no wait. Unfortunately there's not much benefit to the fast answer time if the person picking up the...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Does this imply that previously, the ticket handling queue was not ordered to put the most time sensitive bookings first? That seems like an incredible oversight for an airline. Ever since they got a significant bunch of outsourced call centres to handle the call wait time crisis of 2022, the...

    Status credit from Qatar flight

    Yeah that's annoying, but hopefully they see your ticket and realise what's going on.

    Status credit from Qatar flight

    To confirm, you flew on a QR flight number such as QR4990 or QR4992 and your ticket does not show a MH flight number? If this is the case, then Qantas denying you points is in error. You should've earned 4,250 Points and 100 SCs. Best way to resolve this is to email...

    Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

    I think it would make sense for QF to operate SYD-KIX (or CTS seasonal?) and JQ to move to SYD-NRT. I saw someone mention SYD-NRT A380 which seems unlikely (but I would love it - sounds like fun).

    Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

    Subjectively yes - always finding "I" space to get a Platinum CR seat released on the daytime flights, but always a struggle on the overnight flights.

    Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

    Do we think they'll add a SYD/NRT? I assume there's enough demand they wouldn't go from double -> single daily, unless a 787 makes up for it (can't imagine it does...)

    Qantas Club Lifetime Membership Benefits Removal

    This is surprising as Qantas Club membership has always allowed 1 guest, even now.

    Hard work getting the 2nd bag for free even thought the AA website say so.

    non-North America Oneworld Sapphire grants access to the Flagship Lounge. Your access was not a mistake

    CI A350 + Cathay A330 vs JAL 787-8 J

    I don't know if it still happens, but last time I checked (last year) JAL would sometimes swaps out the MEL-NRT 787-8 from Sky Suite to Shell Flat Neo (angle flat) seats. Anyway, I'd pick the CI + CX option because I actually really enjoy the CI business class. Main reason to pick the JL option...

    Cathay Pacific 4-Class 77W Brisbane

    I was unable to get it by calling when I flew earlier this year, but I was successful asking them on WhatsApp. I think it's just random chance whether you get an agent who will do it or not. I was on a cash J fare.

    ANA Old 777-300ER 2-4-3 Economy Class

    I wouldn't be sure if the newer 3-4-3 configuration is better in Economy, although it sure is better in Business. It really is annoying (experienced this myself last year when I went to the US in ANA) that ANA seems to still be flying quite a few aircraft transpacific with the old configuration...

    Qantas change fee to increase on 30 July 2025

    I don't think so, it was increased from $65 to $77 in 2013 (QF Change fee increase from 18th Sep), can't currently find when it got increased to $99. Anyway, I'd like to see Qantas reduce the cost of purchasing a flexible ticket on their domestic flights - I wouldn't be worrying about changes...

    Classic plus pricing oddity

    Is this a return search, or two one-ways?

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    The scanners at Hobart are on the sides of the lanes, not between them, so she couldn't see my boarding pass as she was standing on the other side of the economy queue from me.
