What a shame I am totally teetootal and dry.

@Larko1 , did you have to pay extra points to get the leg from Amsterdam to London? Using the multi-city booking engine, if you book a trip using two different partner airlines, for points purposes each time you change the airline you are considered to have started a new trip, even if the...

You can find them online but typically you need to call to get it ticketed. They will waive the booking fee. 22.5 hours in Dubai now what to do ?!?!?

I can do dinner at Newtown. I'm just wondering whether there is any update to the wait list for the Masterclass - my email has crashed and my new email is updated. Let me know if a spot opens up by messaging.

Well they will probably advance by 4 days by August 4, the last date for which you will be able to redeem before devaluation (presumably midnight Sydney time - and if you want to call up, it needs to be done by 7pm)

It actually makes more sense than you think if you have visited both cities. Both are cities of churches, light and Englishness. In many ways Adelaide is just a slightly bigger and much warmer, sunnier and more expensive version of Christchurch.

I believe that as of today they are releasing the award tickets on schedule but they are only available up to about June 12. Two weeks ago it was only until the end of May. I have been able to book a F redemption HND-DXB-AMS for May 31 but I had to call up to get a full day layover in Dubai. On...

I'm dry anyway. Wouldn't make no difference between Ultra Premium Trump Whisky or watered down 50-pfennig flat ale. :| However, I would rather have a proper prawn wonton noodle soup than sloppy Currywurst with home brand ketchup. But it does not make up for the difference in taxes.

Well the only thing that remains now is how do I get to Japan? Is Fiji Airways truly the best option?

Well I'm not going until the end of May next year. Enjoy the warmth and wear some sunscreen.

Booking has been finalized. HND-DXB on May 31 0005 0620 DXB-AMS on June 1 0415 0920 Called up and got the South African office, they were surprisingly competent and waived the phone booking fee. I will only have 1 full day in Japan, going with Fiji Airways MEL-NAN-NRT for positioning flight...

Just wondering have any of you been to Naoshima, and have you done it as a day trip from Takamatsu or Okayama or did you stay on the island. Also, have any of you visited Shimoda on the Ito Peninsula, closer to Tokyo? I am currently looking at 4-5 days in Japan in late May / early June next...

There are no alternatives with a decent layover. You would only get 3-4 hours in Dubai and during breakfast time in the lounge. The contingency would be to book a through ticket to Brussels or Geneva, both of which are on the Game Changer cabin. I wasn't able to call up today, will have to do...

The regular engine redemption works. It just means that I only get a ~ 3 hour layover in Dubai and I cannot get out and see the city. In theory there are later flights out of Dubai - they appear on the multi-city engine but can't be booked. So what's the verdict? If they really won't allow me...

No, these long-layover redemptions do not actually appear on seats.aero. They are limited to a number of non-optimal cities for me. Should I call up QFF to see whether they can assist? My belief is that they are deliberately restricting combinations as to reduce the value of redemptions so you...

Dear all, I finally have my EK redemption flight in mind decided, but I cannot book it. Using the multi-city tool, I am able to ascertain that there is availability from HND-DXB on 4 June and DXB-AMS on 5 June (early morning), with a layover of less than 24 hours. However, when I attempt to...

I've only been in old Suites - several times. I would rate them much higher than any F - and that's OLD Suites. For half the points they charge now, too. *Cynical sneer*

Well I just booked. FRA-SIN-MEL. 5 hour layover in Singapore. Still "only" in first class, not suites. Less taxes than out of LHR. Not eligible for LH F lounge, only their Senator lounge.

Qantas points to me have far less value simply for the fact that available premium redemptions in Qantas are next to nil. Qantas business class is also inferior to a lot of other business classes. That's not an insult, that's an objective statement.
