Misunderstanding, I was thinking they couldn't book even though it had the right coding. Good it booked for you and glad to know it works - I'm a bit cynical when it comes to qantas having had some past unnecessary complications.

See post #12. I think they're trying to book and it's coming up with an error code despite the AS code. That's what I read, maybe have it wrong, been out and about today.

That's not good, perhaps the tech hasn't caught up with the new booking/coding requirements

Good to know; I was wondering. hope the op shares any illuminating ? info that they receive.

Thanks @justinbrett. I'll probably have a choice between Alaska and Hawaiian so gives me a better idea. Most of the commentory is around the other major US lines.

Rats; thank you, also looking for similar info

Thanks, good to know. I've only ever flown United and a forgettable domestic or two props. I was under the impression Alaska was better than the others.

Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it as we get closer to the date. Lounges not really a concern as will be staying with friends.

Yes, didn't notice the difference in taxes, something to ponder. AS are certainly getting things together, I hope to take a paid flight with them next year.

Thanks @SYD . Hawaiian has become available in economy as well; not that I particularly want to fly Y but J not showing, probably from lack of status. My guess is there's not a lot in it, better to save the points.,

Qantas and Hawaiian are now showing award flights for the same route bookable through Qantas FF., Apart from the difference in mile/points required has anyone flown both and what makes for the better flight? e.g seating, service and food.

"The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline baggage". "Forget all that stuff about lift, gravity, thrust and drag. An airplane flies because of money. If God had meant man to fly, He'd have given him more money".

Thank you for the info, most appreciated but I am looking later in the year. We tend to book well ahead.

I also have a lightweight, foldable back pack for essentials which I use for trips with transits and which folds very easily into a suitcase. It can also be used on the trip home for dress purchases,.

Agree with the request: have been thinking along similar lines although not sure whether I can fit all I want into HLO. I am going to do a trial run on a shorter trip with s other and see whether it will work or not. He can carry any excess if it doesnt work :)

Yes, its not something that registers personally and doesn't fit into a code for me.

Thank you, that's helpful. It's difficult sometimes to sort through all the blurb and work out what will work for us. I saw the Rocky mountaineer advertisements years ago but the touristy hype leaves us less than impressed. Can be difficult to avoid these days. Good to know VIA works well.

OT a little, apologies. Would you recommend VIA for e.g Vancouver through to Jasper or Prince Rupert through to the Rockies? And after the wildfires last year how long is it likely to take before recovery. Possibly this question needs to go on another thread, I am not sure where.

Looks great and no problem finding on the baggage carousel

Ambiguous, either intentional or not.
