    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Just spitballing some ideas: - have you had any schedule changes affecting the existing itinerary? - if you go into Manage My Booking (not just the Bookings page you posted earlier in the thread), what flights are showing and are they all showing as Confirmed? - similarly if you email a copy of...

    Classic Rewards on FJ and Status Credits when a PC Member

    Not really sure why you are only after responses from PC members and not PC+? AFAIK the benefits in terms of status credits on reward flights are the same. Anyway, I am PC+ and recently flew FJ in J (booked with QFF) SYD-NAN-YVR. No SCs. Flights/airlines that do give SCs not strictly in...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Can't speak specifically to JFK/EWR, but my understanding is that only the arrival port of a surface sector counts as a stopover. As to the larger issue, the short version is they (the o/s call centre operators) do not know why it is not capping and are literally making s*** up. As has been...

    This is fine, as long as there at least 2 other OW airlines.

    Classic rewards question - Misconnected due to CBP

    Another +1 for this. Yep, I have had this happen. Was just starting out on an OWA about 2 years ago, and QF11 was late into LAX and missed our connection to MCO. We also missed the replacement flight due to CBP delays, and were eventually put on Delta to fly across direct by the ground team...

    wi-fi or messaging on A380 to USA ?

    FJ has it on their SYD-Fiji-US flights if you can book/change to them? In business you even get a voucher to use it for free (spoiler: it is not great, but should be sufficient for messaging).

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Just checking you are trying all 3 NY airports? Not sure where you will be staying, but it is usually pretty similar cost/time wise to get to any of them.

    Finding discount paid J fares AU-EU

    Just out of interest, how do you buy enough points for an SQ J award that quickly/easily? Assume that is for a Saver?

    Fiji Airways to fly Nadi-Dallas/Fort Worth direct

    For those interested (like me), it is 126,500 QFF points + $189.71 for SYD-NAN-DFW in J.

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    Possible for international arrivals, but I think GE would still be very beneficial for Nexus/TSAPre for US domestic/intercontinental legs?

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    They've already taken the credit file hit and were presumably getting the card for other benefits besides just the 50k points (which they will still get), so why not proceed and see what happens.

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Just confirming you have checked your Aeroplan account for the points? Others have mentioned how they have just appeared in their account with a prior date and not been immediately recognisable.

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    I am on QF12 in late July and for us the timing change to 2345 happened months ago - looks like early Feb.

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Sure, but the provided additional documents match the information given in the initial application, which has now been rejected and they can't give any explanation. (FWIW it was literally just payslips that they asked for.)

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Anyone else been told they are conditionally approved pending provision of payslips/etc and completing ID verification at local branch, only to then be told the application is unsuccessful once both of those tasks are completed? Seems a bit disingenuous at best.

    Airport security confiscated an empty water bottle

    Same, my wife had a full water bottle when leaving Doha (non-transit) about 18 months ago, showed it to security and got a disinterested shrug. (We were flying J which I think had different security if that matters.)
