    Favourite airline on-board freebie?

    For a brief period JAL was adding a phone stand and a USB-A to Lightning & USB-C cable in their premium cabin amenity kits I don't particularly care for the cable, but the phone stand is nice and I haven't actually been able to find one as compact since (credit card sized, folds very thin...

    How much baggage allowance should I expect? (Jetstar/QF same PNR)

    Also remember that IIRC your baggage will not transfer automatically at Auckland since JQd doesn't do that.

    QR next-gen QSuites

    IMO the biggest improvement is the claim that the seat is "4 inches wider" in bed mode. Unfortunately there's no real comment on where exactly it's wider, and how exactly they're getting this width - the 777X is only 4" wider than the 777, so idk where you'd find an extra 16" of width. My...

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    I agree that an IT glitch is the most likely. Looks like it's been around for 6 months though, so I'm surprised that it still hasn't been fixed. It's a bit strange though because at least one person was able to contact the FFP of the number that replaced theirs (BA) and confirmed that the...

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    Sounds like someone opened an account in that @DisgustedwithQatar 's name with Qatar Privilege Club and attached it to their booking, thus taking their points. @DisgustedwithQatar , how do you know that someone at QR opened the account using your information? I assume you see a QR Frequent...

    Earn points on Bank Transfers

    Never done it with Citi, but usually you can just call and they'll refund it to your bank account.

    Classic rewards upgrade… not immediately confirmed 🫤

    Is the original cash booking ticketed? It won't work if it's not ticketed yet IIRC

    Virgin changing its fare structure

    I expect this to be problematic for those crediting VA flights to non-VFF programs, since booking Flex no longer guarantees a higher booking code than Choice, and you may not be able to force a higher fare code (to ensure you earn status credits) when booking online, without engaging a travel...

    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    Looks like it's refund only, no rebooking (on ANA) :(

    Global CrowdStrike IT outage impacting airports and more

    Isn't Navitaire hosted by Amadeus? I'm surprised that they're unable to restore their hosted service

    Global CrowdStrike IT outage impacting airports and more

    There's piles of B2B software like CrowdStrike that everybody uses but you'd never come across in your day to day.

    Global CrowdStrike IT outage impacting airports and more

    Sounds like a great time to distribute some malware whilst people are disabling the CrowdStrike kernel driver

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I never have any issue with the friendliness etc. of Qantas crew. What I do often have a problem with (and it's probably not entirely the fault of the crew per se, could be how many crew Qantas decides to allocate etc.) is how LONG meal services take. This is especially annoying on the sub-9hr...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I meant not getting a choice is like every other flight

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    Isn't the point of the A350 & Project Sunrise so that you don't have to go via. Perth? So like any other flight ever? Unless you mean they should keep the lights off for the full 17 hours which... I mean... I could probably deal with that in J, but it would be quite painful in W and Y (not that...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    It seems that the aircraft purchasing / refurbishment planning (or lack thereof) over the past 10 years means they have to keep publishing press releases talking about the exact same planes that are still a few years away from delivery, instead of actually announcing new aircraft or products.

    Qantas Hotels no longer supplying Tax Invoices

    I thought Hooroo delt with some Australian hotels directly?

    Qantas Hotels no longer supplying Tax Invoices

    I wonder if it depends if the booking goes through Expedia or that other Qantas-owned company that handles some of their Australian hotels

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Nah, that's a fair point. I guess it's just not what I'd like for breakfast so this is more a complaint about only getting one option. Evidently the other pax thought the same though and picked the other option 😉

    Need help choosing which program to transfer points to, for someone moving to Australia soon!

    Do beware of the surcharges & fees when redeeming EK, even if they still are the easiest option to DXB
